BRONZING BEAUTIES

1 Illuminate your look with Chanel Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Highlighting Fluid in Sunkissed ($91), which lights up your face (or body) with a sumptuous bronzed sheen. Apply before make-up or as a highlighter to cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and sides of the forehead. 2 Embossed with flowers, this Clinique Powder Pop Flower Bronzer in Solar Pop ($52) delivers a natural matte bronze sheen, so it’s perfect for an all-over glow or to add a subtle contour.

3 Merging skincare and tanning, St. Tropez Purity Vitamins Bronzing Water Face Serum ($34.99) is boosted with vitamins and moisturisers, and mixed with your daily skincare for a subtle glow. 4 A few drops of Mecca Cosmetica Sunless Goddess Self-tanning Drops ($32) mixed into your skincare will give you a just-back-from-holiday glow. Increase the number of drops to adjust the depth of tan you desire. 5 With three matte shades to work with, the Clarins Bronzing Compact ($55) makes it easy to find the most complementary colour for you. 6 An iconic bronzer that’s been giving a gorgeous illuminating glow for the last 34 years, Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder in Light 03 Natural Warm ($84) is so popular that one sells every 20 seconds worldwide. 7 If you prefer a creamy stick bronzer, try Stila Complete Harmony Lip & Cheek Stick in Sunkissed Bronze ($42), which delivers a translucent wash of colour that’s easy to blend with your fingertips. 8 Get the best of both bronzing worlds with the Bobbi Brown Bronzing Duo in Golden Light ($69) compact, which has a matte and shimmery option in complementary bronze and pink shades. 9 You can skip your foundation with Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronzing Tint ($39), which uses natural pigments to add a soft bronzed look. Simply mix into your day cream, or use over it to intensify the golden glow.
