NARS BLUSH/BRONZER TRIO €55
This limited-edition
set is a triple treat,
including a highlighting
blush powder. The
blush shade, cheekily
named Orgasm, gives
a natural fl ush, and the
bronzer is subtly goldfl
ecked. Good for all skin tones, this comes in a
neat zip-up compact. Just missing a brush.
EXPERT TIP: To streamline a wide nose, apply a
light sweep of bronzer on either side.
Reader test: “I love the gold bronzer and
would use the highlighter to brighten, too”

LANCÔME MINERAL BRONZER 3g, €30
This is the bronzing
brush that keeps
on giving, as it
automatically releases
powder onto its brush
at the press of a button.
You can use it on face
and body. Apply in the
evening and you’ll enjoy a fi ne, silky fi nish that
lasts until sunrise. Brushing it on gives you that
fun, fi lm starlet feel.
EXPERT TIP: If applying a bronzing powder to
your body, exfoliate fi rst for the best effect.
Reader test: “One click releases a lot of
powder, so it’s quick to use, and it left my
skin feeling really soft”

MAC LUSTRE DROPS 18ml, €17
Try a little liquid sun
with this water-based
bronzer, with added
pearlised lustre. The
package is small, but a
little goes a long way.
Great for a luminous,
shimmering fi nish.
EXPERT TIP: Get better coverage by mixing a
few drops with a moisturiser. Try Nivea Visage
Radiance Boosting Moisturiser, for example.
Reader test: “I love the colour, it’s really
natural. When I used moisturiser as primer
first, I found I could apply this more easily”
