Even if summer has passed, there’s an easy way to maintain that coveted sun-kissed glow, thanks to a range of new easy-to-use bronzers that you can buy online.
Similar to setting spray, bronzer is one of those bonus point beauty products that really take your look to the next level. While blush is in charge of creating rosy cheeks and contour powder’s promise is feature definition, the essential role of bronzer is to add a healthy warm glow that gives vacation vibes year-round.
Whether you prefer liquid, powder or cream formulas, the key to applying bronzer like a pro is to hit all the high points of your face where the sun hits — your hairline, forehead, cheekbones, nose tip and a touch on your chin — but do so conservatively because less really is more. The goal is to still look like you but remixed with the perfect, natural tan for your skin tone.
