Revolution’s new £9.99 Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops dupe is a must-have for summer skin

Makeup Revolution gets it right every time with a beauty dupe. The new Bright Light Bronzing Drops add instant radiance to the skin and can be used in many ways. This super hydrating formula combines skincare ingredients like squalane, hyaluronic acid and grapeseed to enhance the natural glow on the skin. Available in two shades to suit a range of skin tones, you'll look sun-kissed and bronzy all year round.

Shine from within with the NYX Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator Glowy Highlighter. It's the most affordable dupe on our list and it's currently being hailed as a dupe for Drunk Elephant. Available in four shades, add a few drops to your moisturiser and prepare for a next-level glow.

Customer review: "I've had this product for a month now and I use it almost every day. I'm so serious when I say a little goes a long way. I like to dab a bit on my forehead, cheekbones and nose for a "sun-kissed" effect. And it really shows! Even underneath powder foundation! I don't even need to follow up with any bronzer. And it has a lovely shimmer to it too."

For an easy-to-blend and divinely nourishing bronzing serum, Lottie London's new launch ticks all of our boxes. It has a grown-up 'holiday coconut' smell without being too overpowering and has plenty of do-good ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to hydrate.

Our review: "Lottie London's Hot Glaze is here to give 'an instant, summer-worthy, bronzed glow you’ve been dreaming of' – no vacay needed. As well as giving an immediate sunkissed bronze, it is also packed with plenty of do-good skincare ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid, Coconut Extract and Niacinamide to nourish and hydrate the skin."

Glow Hub has just dropped their Baby Beam Dew Filter Glow Base which we're calling a sure dupe for the bronzing drops. There are so many different shades, but we recommend Sun Beam or Bronze Beam to get the look. Full of glycerin, hyaluronic acid, squalene and vitamins, this one is a skincare hero along with a makeup holy grail.

Our review: "Listen, when I saw this I just knew it'd be a dupe for Drunk Elephant's Bronzing Drops. I got the opportunity to try this in the shade Sun Beam, and straight away saw how glowy and bronzed it made my skin look. It can be mixed with your fave foundation to warm up your shade, or as a bronzer over the top of your foundation. It comes in loads of different shades as well, so you can even get a lighter shade to use as a highlighter. The Baby Beam Dew Filter Glow Base makes a gorgeous glowy bronzer for your makeup look."

We're obsessed with everything to do with Milk Makeup, and these drops are no exception. The bionic bronzer is infused with hyaluronic acid, resulting in a lightweight, hydrating and bronzing finish. Plus, it's nearly identical to the Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops, but cheaper, making it the closest dupe on our list.

Customer review: "I am usually wary of cream bronzers as they can feel thick and sticky but I was pleasantly surprised with how lightweight this formula is and the colour is just perfect too. I’m quite translucent in spring (think Mac NC10) and this colour (Time Travel) does not look out of place on me. Gorg, gorg, gorg - deffo on my standard, daily go-to."

The OG Drunk Elephant dupe from Indeed Labs made its rounds on TikTok as one of the best alternatives - and we can totally see why. The Nanobronze drops instantly bronze, blur and hydrate the skin, while simultaneously protecting you from environmental stressors. Two in one? We'll take it. Note: These are regularly out of stock, so snap them up if you can.

Customer review: "I add this in with my moisturizer. One pump is just enough to give you a subtle glow. You can add more to get a tan look. A little goes a long way, it’s not a self-tanner so if you mess up you can wash it off! I hear this blends better than the Drunk Elephant and it’s cheaper!"

When it comes to glowy, radiant formulas, Iconic London is our go-to. With six gorgeous shades to choose from, all you need is a few drops to contour, and bronze, for that fresh-from-the-Maldives look. A little goes a long way with this formula, but it's buildable for the desired effect. Yes, it's that pigmented.

Customer review: "I love this bronzer! It’s so pretty and natural when applied to the skin. It blends out really easily and leaves a subtle glow. It’s great for pale skin too as the shade isn’t too orange and just leaves a natural sun-kissed look on the skin. Would recommend!"

Choose shades Bronze Jasper or Honey Citrine for a bronzy glow that'll cost you less than Drunk Elephant. And, it's Fenty - what more could we want? A few drops deliver instant, natural-looking illumination while skin-loving ingredients hydrate, help reduce the look of pores, and brighten over time.

Customer review: "The darkest shade is very similar to the Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops!"

This bronzed formula from Pai Skincare is infused with light-reflecting particles, for a jaw-dropping radiance. Harnessing the powering hylaruonic acid, your skin will feel plump, glowy, and the infusion of Vitamin C will brighten your complexion in an instant.

Customer review: "Love this product. Leaves my skin looking glowy and bronzed. Easy to apply."

We just LOVE Clinque (take our Clinique Black Honey dupes as evidence), so when we saw that the Clinique Sun-Kissed Face Gelee Complexion Multitasker Universal Glow was a dupe for Drunk Elephant's Bronzing Drops, we ran to add this to our basket. This lightweight gel bronzer hydrates while melting into the skin for that natural-looking radiance. Ok, so while it's actually more expensive than Drunk Elephant, it's still in stock so we can't complain.

Customer review: "Gives you such a lovely glow! I use this every day with a little bit of moisturiser instead of foundation gives you good coverage and a hint of colour."

If you've been on the hunt for Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drop dupes on TikTok, there's no doubt you will have come across the Bellamianta Illuminating Bronzing Drops. They are everywhere, and it's no wonder why. They're a sure dupe for the original, containing hyaluronic acid and enriched with detoxifying ingredients to nourish while you glow.
