I've recently picked up Iman's Sheer Bronzer in Clay, Lorac's bronzer in Glow, Laura Mercier's Bronzing Duo and Sephora's Bronzing Trio. And I am still on the hunt for more goodies.
Bronzer for the Bronzed!

I like L'oreal HIP's bronzers.
Vibrant is my fav! It makes me glow.

I just bought the Cargo one in Dark a couple of weeks ago. I find I've been using it everyday. It's doing what Metal Rock MSF (which is darker) was doing for me, but much less glitter. I love the "sheen" of bronzer...

All the posts are great and informative. Just wanted to add that Milani has a great bronzer that comes in a jar called, "01- Body Bronzer". I use it on my face in the usual bronzing areas and it gives a wonderful dewy golden bronze. I also place some on my collarbone for a believable balanced bronze. It looks so natural. My family and friends always compliment my look. Very inexpensive.

You should definitely get some! Especially for the summer.
I'm NW43 and I use MACs iridescent loose powder in "Golden Bronze".
It's great to use under my regular blush because it adds a bit of tint and some elegant shimmer.
Go for it hun! It's a nice touch.

I am Asian but not sure what my skintone is because I get tanner during the summer and paler during the winter....I just have a question - would I have to switch bronzer colors because of this? I am relatively new to bronzing as well and plan on trying Too faced Carribean in a Compact in Sun Bunny but at the same time my skin isn't too clear (my forehead is a little bumpy but nothing drastic and alright everywhere else) so would I def. need a foundation before using bronzer? Or could I just moisturize and put it on if my skin clears up? I am so new to skin stuff it's not even funny
Oh and to find out my skintone(s) do I just pop by any MAC store and ask..?

You could use two different bronzers depending on the season; one that's a little more intense in the summer, and one that more subtle for the cooler months. I have some bronzers that are lighter than others. You can wear bronzer without foundation, and I would avoid bronzer on the forehead anyway, unless it's matte or semi-matte.

It's hard for people with darker skin to find a "bronzer" for contouring. I prefer using a stick foundation or a powder in a shade much deeper than my all over foundation and then buffing it in.

I agree with chocolategoddess. And honestly, if CARGO's Dark didn't show, Benefit's Hoola definitely wont. I'd just try a contouring shade, like one of the MAC Pro Sculpting Powders or Blunt blush.
ETA: You could try contouring with Chocolate pigment, or Twig Eyeshadow (Stila). That would look shimmery like a bronzer and it's dark enough to contour with.

Exactly!! Sam Fine swears by this. I bought it solely on his recommendation. Look at how he uses it on this bride...SO gorgeous!
I'm an NC50 so it doesn't look exactly the same, but it's such a soft, gorgeous bronzy glow. I'm loving it!!! His blog can be found here.
