Bronzer
Bronzers do more than just add warmth; they sculpt, define and bring life to your complexion in just a few sweeps. Reach for a velvety powder from NARS for a golden finish, a creamy Rare Beauty bronzer stick to sculpt, a palette from Charlotte Tilbury to customise your glow or a liquid formula from By Terry for head-to-toe radiance. With finishes ranging from matte to shimmer, our curated edit has everything you need for that sun-kissed look.

Apply bronzer to the areas of your face where the sun naturally hits. Focus on the top of your forehead, bridge of your nose, cheekbones, and jawline.
Use a dense complexion brush or makeup sponge for cream formulas, and a fluffy makeup brush for powder formulas. Build the colour gradually until you reach your desired look.
Bronzer is designed to add warmth and radiance to the skin, mimicking the effect of a natural tan due to its golden undertone. Contour, on the other hand, is cooler in tone and is used to sculpt and define cheeks by creating the illusion of shadows.
Yes! Bronzer is also an excellent choice for mature skin. A bronzer with a soft, blendable texture, like the Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer, the Hourglass Bronzer or the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Bronzer, will bring a healthy, youthful glow to the skin and won’t settle into fine lines or emphasise texture.
