Make Bronzer Look Natural With These Easy Tips
We all know that the only safe tan is a fake one, but if you don't want to commit to self-tanner, it's time to break out the bronzer. The key is to avoid the Malibu Barbie look. "When women want to look tan, a lot of times they will make their entire face tan with bronzer or tinted moisturizer," says Carol Shaw, makeup artist and founder of LORAC cosmetics.
Magnificent Matte Bronzers For All Skin Tones
The bronzers I prefer are matte and come in the form of a pressed powder. I like the way they give you a soft, subtle and natural-looking tan without the distraction of shimmer all over your face. Also, they can double as a contour colour when you're looking to define your jaw or sculpt your cheekbones.

Five Easy Ways to Fake a Sun-Kissed Glow
If you make frequent stops on the Bella train, then you'll know that I'm all about safe sunning — which means no tanning at all. But that doesn't mean you have to lose the look of a day at the beach. While I love the benefits of a self-tanner, sometimes I don't want to deal with the smell of DHA combining with my skin's chemistry or the affliction of streak-mania all over my body.

The textures are phenomenal, and the sun-kissed colours are absolutely breathtaking.
Reader Review of the Day: Make Up For Ever Mat Bronze
Bronzer can create the perfect sun-kissed look. But it can also look muddy or too obvious if the formulation doesn't work with your skin tone. Reader Treesah recently reviewed Make Up For Ever Mat Bronze ($30), giving it four out of five stars.
A Winter Bronzer Alternative
If you're like me, my regular bronzer is starting to look a little muddy on my lighter features. Dirty-looking face? Um, no thanks.
Do You Wear Bronzer in Winter?
Summer is definitely the most common season to see self-tanners flying off the shelves, but bronzer never seems to go out of style for some celebs (like Jennifer Lopez). Just because the real sun is hidden away in Winter, doesn't mean you can't still get your faux glow on and looked like you just leapt from May into December. Do you keep up a bronzer habit in months without sun or do you kick it to the curb come cold weather times?
The Look For Less: A Blush and Bronzer Duo
The buzz around Nars Orgasm blush is huge, so much so that Nars has released multiple products based upon the peachy-pink hue. I've had my eye on the blush and bronzer duo ($37), which packages Orgasm with Laguna bronzer. Both are beautiful colors, but until I finish my full-size Orgasm blush, I can't justify buying it.
