Good bronzer for contouring? :)

What's a good drug store bronzer for contouring? I only contour with bronzer in the summer so I don't wanna spend tons on it! Obviously matte and fairly neutral but slightly warm would be ideal :)
I use Kevyn aucoin sculpting powder usually but I like the look for summer

I guess high end I wouldn't mind but it'd be cool to find a drugstore one that works!

Depending on your skin tone, you could just use a dark face powder. It will eliminate the orange tones bronzers tend to have.

You don't usually contour with Bronzer and instead with a matte powder 2 shades darker than your skin tone. However a good bronzer and SUPER cheap is ticket to brazil from Wet&Wild lol I'm like in love with it and I've tried many highend/drugstore brands I guess than one complements my skin tone perfectly ❤

I know bronzer isn't ideal for contouring I don't need that lecture 😒 I just like how it looks for the summer. Thanks for all the recommendations ladies I'll definitely go check them out

You don't generally contour with bronzer! I say generally because it's not technically the right tool, but it can work really well! I'm not at all lecturing, I highly suggest using a cooler powder only because I've seen some girls contour with bronzer ( nearly orange) and it looks... Not so lovely! However, I do think if you choose the right color I think it can work really well! Here are some great bronzers, the first is technically a cream blush but It would look gorgeous on the tops of your cheek bones! I will post swathes in a second! It's NYX cream blush in bronze goddess, then NYC sunny , and elf bronzer in matte bronze ( which is cool toned and awesome for contouring, it's pigmented but if you use sparingly )! I put them on too of a white book, for color reference!

This is the NYX cream blush, without blending, I know it's intimidating ,

And this is it blended, it's gorgeous! I think it would be great next to either of theses two bronzers! I hope I could help!

I usually don't don't worry! I love the bronze look though for summer it's absolutely beautiful :) the NYC sunny seems really nice I might try that one :)

You definitely should! I got it at Walmart for only $2.00, so I think it's definitely worth it! It's matte so it gives you more of a natural sun kissed look! It's lovely!

I'm also not trying to nag you but bronzers arent used for contouring, why don't you just use a bronzer as well a bronzer instead of using it to contour? It will give you a nice glow if thats what your looking for, the nars one is very pretty and has a bit of sparkle to it.

No, I've used a bronzer for contouring and I know I like how it looks during the warm months.
I definitely do want a matte though. I just ran out of my Evelyn Charles one which is why I wanna Ty a new one
