My last post (for now!) on fair/foolproof/hint-of-sun bronzers. I realise that I’m at the risk of boring to tears anybody who doesn’t need, want or suit them, but simultaneously I’ve been trying to work systematically through my beauty backlog and Subtle Bronzers were among the categories I wanted to get done and dusted (excuse the pun) before summer started.
So here: five subtle bronzers at various price points. We have, clockwise from top left, Tom Ford’s Ultimate Bronzer in Bronze Age, Victoria Beckham’s in Saffron Sun, Benefit’s Hoola Lite, Bourjois’ Mat Illusion and The Body Shop’s Honey Bronze in shade 01. (All of the links above visit my full-page reviews of the individual bronzers.)
The Tom Ford is eye-wateringly expensive but gives a beautiful, goldenish (but somehow matte) glow and also the cheapest, the Bourjois, is a great alternative to both the Victoria Beckham and Hoola Lite powders. Something for each budget, I hope. Take a look at the short and sweet video below to determine things “in action”, so to speak – links to find the products online are further on on the next paragraphs.
