Best Drugstore Bronzer No. 7: Physicians Formula Summer Eclipse Bronzing Shimmery Face Powder, $13.49
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 8.2*
Why it's great: If you're going for a natural bronzed goddess look, readers say this beautifully designed product is the way to go. "It's a wonderful color, blends well and the shimmer is subtle," says one reviewer. "One compact really lasts a long time too." While readers are obsessed with the "colorful glow" this bronzer gives, they warn that if you don't blend it out, you may come out looking like a "cartoon carrot" (as does anyone who applies too much bronzer), but when used correctly, you'll be thrilled with the results. "This bronzer gives my skin a perfect sun-kissed glow and doesn't leave it looking dirty or overly orange," gushes one user. "I will definitely buy this again."
