Since tanning beds are so passé (we’ll take a pass on skin cancer, thank you!) we’ve turned to San Francisco-based Benefit cosmetics for some help in the summer prep department. Three products are must-haves for getting that perfectly bronzed radiance…
Sun Beam is a golden bronze complexion highlighter that will give you a natural, sun-kissed glow. Apply to the spots where sun would naturally hit – cheekbones and brow bones – and this ‘liquid sunshine in a bottle’ will highlight your skin without looking oily.
Once your skin is prepped, dap on Benefit’s new Cha Cha Tint, a mango tinted lip and cheek stain. With a coral hue reminiscent of a tropical sunset, the added colours to your lips and cheeks will add an extra satiny, peachy-perfect effect.
If a more matte bronzed glow is what you’re after, try Hoola. Your skin will instantly be boosted to having a healthy, natural-looking tan without the sparkle and shine.
So while the weather might be a bit grey and dreary these days, you can fake it ‘till you make it with these products and get glowing!
