As a makeup-lover, I am in an extremely dedicated relationship with bronzer. If I'm tired, I'm feeling under the weather, or my skin is just looking rather dull, bronzer has the ability to turn me into a golden goddess with a few swipes of the brush.

I've also bought exclusively cruelty-free makeup since high school, not wanting to support brands that harm innocent animals. Luckily, Sephora carries an extensive range of cruelty-free brands and bronzers, so committing to this has never been very difficult. Before my next beauty buying spree, I headed to the Sephora Beauty Insider Community for some bronzer suggestions and decided to share some of my favorite picks from the lot.
