Looking for a bronzer that’ll give you cheekbones like Naomi Campbell? Or maybe a high-shine highlighter for a dreamy sugar-glazed glow? Well, these five highlighters and bronzers are our go-to secret weapons right now for maximised radiance and a snap-worthy sun-kissed finish. See any of your faves?
1. Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer
First of all, the shade line-up of these bronzers is SUBLIME – there’s literally a shade match for everyone. Creamy, smooth, and weightless, Sun Stalk’r offers buildable coverage that still looks like skin IRL. So whether you’re looking to sculpt your features or subtly warm up your complexion, this baby makes it super-easy to achieve both. Apply some to your cheekbones, jawline, temples, and the sides of your nose for a sun-drenched effect that looks legit.
2. Dior Forever Natural Bronzer
If you have extra coins to blow, Dior’s bronzing powder is 100% worth the splurge. Besides creating the most gorgeous sun-soaked glow, it also feels incredibly light and comfy on skin. And this is due to its fusion of hydrating wild pansy extract, which gives the powder a seamless and silky texture that doesn’t leave skin looking or feeling dried out.
3. Revlon Skin Lights Prismatic Bronzer
Revlon’s 2-in-1 powder marries the warm pigments of a bronzer with the ultra-lit glimmer of a highlighter. All you need is one light dusting for the perfect amount of depth and a multidimensional gleam that looks SICKENING . Our favourite shade for summer is ‘Sunlit Glow’ – a rich gold hue that screams ‘boujee.’ 10/10 recommend this for sundowners with the girls.
4. Fenty Beauty Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick
We can’t get enough of Fenty Beauty’s shimmer sticks – use them solo or mix and match to create custom iridescent blends. For our medium- to rich-skin beauties, ‘Sinamon’ and ‘Champagne Heist’ will add an Instagram-worthy veil of gold shimmer. But if you’re looking for something on the dewier side, ‘Pine for Me’ will leave you with the dreamiest dewy dumpling strobes that even Nam Vo (IG: @namvo) would love!
5. Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder
The first time we tried this powder was in 2015, and it was honestly love at first swipe. From its versatility, blendability, and ultra-saturated pigments, this gem ticks ALL the right boxes. The shade ‘Bronze Glow’ has my heart till this day – a sexy warm gold that looks expen$ive on everyone!
