Master The Sun-Kissed Glow: A Guide To Bronzer Sticks Versus Bronzer Powders

Bronzing your skin is a great way to warm up your complexion and give it that sun-kissed radiance – but which product should you use? Bronzer sticks or bronzer powders? In this blog post, you'll find out which one is best for you and how to apply each one for maximum glow!

What is the difference between a Bronzer Stick and Bronzer Powder?

A lot of people don’t know the difference between bronzer sticks and bronzer powders. Here’s a quick guide to help you out!

Bronzer Sticks: Bronzer sticks are usually made with a mineral oil base and have a dewy finish. Bronzer sticks are great for creating a natural sun-kissed look and are easier to apply on the go.


Bronzer Powders: Bronzer powders are made from finely milled pigments and have a more matte finish. They can be used for contouring and sculpting the face and best applied with a brush for more precise application.

The Benefits of Bronzer Sticks

  • Quick and easy to apply 
  • Add depth to the skin
  • Give the face for a more sculpted look.
  • Great for on-the-go touch ups. 
  • More dewy and made with hydrating ingredients
  • Easy to blend
  • Can be used as contour
  • Draw straight onto your face!

The Benefits of Bronzer Powders

  • Have a very natural look and can be as subtle as you want
  • Easier to control application and layering (so you can avoid looking like you've caked on too much makeup.) 
  • More matte, so will work well if you have oilier skin
  • Less likely to rub off compared to Bronzer Sticks

  3. Golden Henna which is a medium bronze with deep golden undertones and has a slight luminosity. 

How to Choose Between Bronzer Sticks and Powders for Your Skin Type

It really depends on your personal preferences and the occasion. If you have oily skin, you may want to opt for a bronzing powder, as it can help to mattify and set makeup. If you have dry skin, on the other hand, bronzing sticks may be a better option, as they add a more creamy finish.
