Whats the best way to apply bronzer?
Avoid the two-tone look with your face and body by giving your skin the all-over glow treatment. Try using a metallic cream to highlight legs and décolletage. “The secret to avoiding a bronzed face and pale neck is to gently self tan your neck and not your face,” Alison recommends. “When you wear bronzer on your face the colour will blend into your neck and will give a much more natural and less ‘made up’ look.” Try: Illamasqua Sirens Liquid Metal, £16 (www.illamasqua.com); Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder, £23 (www.bobbibrown.co.uk). Can I buy a bronzer with SPF? Yes, but never scrimp on the sun protection just because you’ve discovered a new make-up bronzing product containing bonus SPF. A burning red glow is not the look you’re going for! Alison explains: “Mineral formulas and face tanners with SPF will help shield against the sun’s rays, however, it’s not an all-day protector so it’s a good idea to put a high SPF sunscreen on underneath your bronzer.” Try: Guinot Lift Bronz
