To maintain your sunless tan, you might want to add a bronze kick to your make up routine. There are three bronzing products I swear by, each for different reasons that I’ll fill you in on below:
1. Guerlain Terracotta line
This line by Guerlian is known for perfecting the bronzed sunless look. My favourite from this line is their mineral loose powder bronzer; it’s great for even sensitive-skinned ladies out there because its mineral based. This is a big plus in the summer time because minerals won’t clog your pores and will actually allow your skin to breathe.
Left to right: Light Sheer Bronzing Powder CAD$49, Sun Kissed SPF10 Tinted Moisturizer CAD$43.50, Kabuki Bronzing Powder Brush CAD$48.50, Sunless Smoothing Self Tan Emulsion CAD$44.50 and Moisturizing Sun Shimmer Gloss SPF15 CAD$30.50. Products all available at StrawberryNet.com
2. Nars bronzers
Nars gives you 3 different shades to choose from, Laguna for fair complexions, Casino for darker skin tones looking for an extra kick and Irresistiblement for a matte glow. The first two have a golden shimmer built in, giving a great glow to the skin and a beautiful sheen in pictures. This product is great when worn at night as opposed to the day when you may want to keep your skin shimmer-free.

3. Physicians formula bronzer
This is a great budget buy and fab for your skin because it’s a mineral powder and you can opt for shimmer, no shimmer and a variety of shades. Don’t be scared off by the shimmer however, as it is a super fine consistency in the product. The only downfall to this product is that there are no testers available when you buy it, you just have to guess your shade and hope for the best. Pick it up online or at your nearest Shoppers Drug Mart.
