The Best Liquid Bronzers for Summer
Published Jul 30, 2011
Beauties, are you looking for a perfect summer glow? Powders can clog up your skin and melt off your face in summer meaning you have to reapply or add too much product. Liquid bronzers give a dewier, fresher appearance (just what you want!) and blend into the skin, so are likely to last longer. Here are our top three for face and body.
1 Inglot AMC Face & Body Bronzer
This easy-to-apply, non-streaky lotion is quite dark, so a little goes a long way. For a warm glow over your entire face, mix a tiny amount (about a pea-sized pump) with your moisturizer or foundation. This way your glow will seem to come from within.
2 NARS Laguna Illuminator
This golden bronze highlighter not only gives you a sun-kissed glow but also contains antioxidants like polar berries and Indian frankincense. As with all liquid face bronzers, apply a tiny amount with a blush brush. You'll be surprised, but the brush ensures that the color blends perfectly with your skin and is less messy than applying with your fingers.
3 Victoria's Secret Tan Enhancing Shimmer Lotion
This bronzing lotion can be applied all over your body to give your skin a flattering glow in one step (you don't need to apply a moisturizer first like you do with some body bronzers). The lightweight formula contains just a hint of shimmer (you won't see any sparkles, we promise!, so you get a subtle sheen that makes your legs look super long—just like an Angel's!
