TOM FORD SOLEIL GLOW BRONZER
Bronzer should be a beauty staple on your make-up kit. It’s not just about having a sun-kissed look, it can be used on a regular basis to add depth to your overall make-up look. And if you haven’t tried Tom Ford’s Soleil Glow Bronzer, you’re missing out on a great beauty product. This silky bronzing powder features specialized pigments that give the skin added radiance. We find the formula remarkably infused with a luxurious blend of plant-derived butters–cocoa-seed butter, mango seed butter, and Amazonian capuacu butter. These ingredients all aid in nourishing the skin and providing it with a protective layer. Investing in a good quality bronzer is the best advice we can give you. And, you can’t go wrong with Tom Ford’s Soleil Glow Bronzer priced at HKD $540.

GUERLAIN’S MÉTÉORITES COMPACT
The Guerlain Meteorites Compact may not exactly be a bronzer but it complements any make-up routine through its mattifying component. We suggest using the powder as the final touch up for its finely pressed characteristic that color corrects just like an Instagram filter. It’s priced at HKD $510 for 8g and worth the splurge because you can use it all year long. You’ll find the harmony of four beautifying shades that enhance every skin tone with just the right dose of light. This practical product also possesses an anti-shine function while preserving hydration in the pores. The blurring texture reduces any signs of imperfections for glowing skin with a velvety feel.

The art of applying bronzer can be challenging but with the bronzing collection by Nars–it’s easy as pie. This summer essential on your beauty cupboard can be worn fuss-free.
