The IABT Guide To... Bronzers

I'm sure you're probably all sick of hearing about my recent obsession with bronzers but I am just loving the bronze glow look currently. I have a few different types of bronzers so let's just get straight into it.
Up first is the only shimmery bronzer of the bunch and this is the Famous Baked Bronzer. Although it's not a brand that I've heard or seen much about, it's a stunning product and there are other baked bronzers out there - I know ELF have one, as well as Milani, and Too Faced. I haven't tried these others but a baked bronzer is an essential for me in the summer. I love to use the ELF Stippling Brush or the Real Techniques Multi Task Brush to apply this as they both give an even application and makes blending effortless.
Next is the The Body Shop Honey Bronzer and what I love the most about this range is that these bronzers are very pale which makes it perfect for fair skin. I have the second lightest shade so it shows up on my skin and is very natural. This is great for the winter or when I don't have any self tanner on, which unfortuantely happens quite a lot. The brush shown is my favourite for this particular bronzer as it defines and provides a natural bronze/contour type deal.
This Light/Medium shade is the best one out of the two Maybelline Master Sculpt Compacts as the contour shade is more of a bronzer shade than a contour powder. It's difficult to apply too much of this, so there's no risk of looking like an Oompa Lumpa.
The swatches in the photos are on my skin at its palest, no self tanner, as I wanted to show you what it looked like on my fair complexion, and although they look slightly orange-y, trust me when I say that they do not appear like that on the face.
You may have seen that I recently acquired the Too Faced The Little Black Book of Bronzers but I haven't included that in here as I want to do a separate review and swatches post so keep your eyes peeled.
What are your favourite bronzers?

I have heard a million good things about The Body Shops Honey Bronzer but still have yet to try it. I'm in love with the Too Faced Bronzer Book and so happy I got it, there were 2 that I was going to buy full sizes of, but this book worked out cheaper than buying the two separate so what a bonus. And as it happens, one of the two I wanted I don't particularly like but others have surprised me.

The Body Shop Bronzers are great for super fair skin like mine :) I will definitely be purchasing some more Too Faced Makeup, the heart shaped blushers are next on my list :)
