A good bronzer is a rare and beautiful thing. The right one will give you a subtle, sun kissed glow, lift your look instantly, hide a multitude of sins and bring a boy to his knees. These are my top picks for breezing your way to a bronzed and beautiful future:
Mac Bronzing Powder is like the perfect pair of black skinny jeans: comfortable, cool and always in style. It's natural looking colour options and lightweight formula make this a fool proof purchase.
N.B If you feel like jumping on the mineral band wagon, also try Mac's Mineral SkinFinish Powder in Medium Deep.
Thin Lizzy's Perfect 10 Bronzing Powder (despite having the worst advertising campaign I have ever seen) is the makeup staple of many girls across the nation and an old favorite of mine. It has two flatteringly natural shades, blurs imperfections and contains lovely shimmering particles which make you look all glowy and candle lit. BONUS: Can be used in place of foundation on those lazy or late for work days.
Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder is deliciously luxurious and a make up artist's fave. The powders formulation moisturizes AND controls oil so it will never look caked on or shiny and the neutral colour looks amazing on everyone.
Nars Bronzing Powder in Laguna is a religous experiance for the make up devout. THE last word in bronzer, it shimmers without being shiny, builds up to the perfect tan and never looks orange or dirty. Hallelujah!
