Like any good beauty lover knows, some of the best affordable makeup finds are hidden in the aisles of your local drugstore. As any beauty lover also knows, those aisles can be seriously overwhelming. Honestly, thank God for Bethenny Frankel — who's deep her beauty influencer era — and her encyclopedic knowledge of said affordable pharmacy fare. One of the Real Housewives alum's latest obsessions is the No7 Pro Artist Soft Glow Cream Bronzer, declaring in a TikTok video that it's "better than" Chanel's bronzer. Cue the gasps.
If you're not already familiar with Chanel's Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream, it's a luxe and creamy formula that buffs into the skin of a fresh and natural-looking flush of color. Considering that that will set you back $60, the No.7 bronzer might be her best budget find to date.
"I'm so excited because no one's really done it right," the 54-year-old raved while comparing the two. "It's creamy, it's toasty, it's chocolate-y, it's drugstore. Yay!" We'll add another plus: It's only $19.
The velvety texture will make you feel like a zillion bajillion bucks.
Before we get into the product itself, let's talk about Bethenny's first impressions of the No7 Pro Artist Soft Glow Cream Bronzer: "I opened it and I was, like, we are the richest of the bitches." Honestly, that's convincing enough for us — but her enthusiastic TikTok doesn't end there.
"Look at it," she raved while buffing the bronzer in along her jawline, cheekbones and hairline. "Look at the toastiness, Look at the cocoa. It's giving Rockefeller Center hot cocoa. I am so excited." The result? A warm. natural, glowy, flush that blends flawlessly into the star's skin.
So, what makes the No7 cream bronzer so great? For starters, it's fragrance-free, meaning those with sensitive skin can wear it without stressing out. The formula is also stuffed with skin-loving ingredients like ceramides and glycerin.
It's not just Bethenny who raves about the Chanel lookalike. The No7 bronzer has racked up an impresive Amazon rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars.
"Bethenny, thank you," wrote one of the star's followers in their five-star Amazon review. "This is truly an amazing product. Easy to blend and you can look sun-kissed and radiant without anything else. I only need this." The same reviewer also added that they "bought several" for friends and family.
"Perfect bronzer," raved another Amazon customer. "Smooth, creamy blends so nicely. Great value for the money."
This shopper (who bought the medium shade) shared: "Beautiful color. Creamy finish that stays thoughout the day."
