However, you definitely shouldn’t worry about your tan: every year a huge number of products appear on the windows of cosmetic stores, thanks to which dark skin is just a matter of a few strokes of a brush.
Powders, creams, gels and other bronzing products will help not only recreate the tanning effect, but will also emphasize it for those who have just returned from vacation.
Reflective powderLesBeiges from the cruise collectionChanel
At one time, it was Gabrielle Chanel who convinced the fashion world that a light tan in the summer was very beautiful. Since then, cosmetic brands have been tirelessly introducing new beauty products that allow you to create a bright and sunny make-up for summer. The Chanel house itself is, of course, one of them. And this summer, the French brand presented the cruise collection Les Indispensables De L"Été.
The line includes lipsticks that combine richness of tone with a slight glide of gloss, mascara, eyeliner, long-lasting nail polish and the absolute hit of the collection - Les Beiges reflective powder with a natural glow effect.
The beauty novelty was created in five universal shades: from light beige to rich brown. As a result, the powder is ideal for creating a light tan effect and for contouring.
New range of Dior Bronze auto bronzers

Thanks to the formula that forms the basis of the line, your skin will be enveloped in a radiant “veil of sunshine.” You will also find easy application, even distribution (thanks to the translucent texture!), care and a natural result.
The collection contains three products: Huile Protectrice Hâle Sublime SPF 15 protective oil, which is recommended to be applied before each sunbathing.

Plus, Crèmes Protectrices Hâle Sublime SPF 30 and SPF 50 are lightweight creams that will protect your skin from blemishes and signs of aging associated with negative impact sun rays.

Creams with tanning effect and shimmering particles for face and body fromInglot
In the Inglot brand catalog, two products attract attention - tanning cream for face and body AMC and cream with shimmering particles for face and body AMC.
The first product is easy to apply, gives the skin a natural look and provides it with a bronze tint. Moreover, to obtain a beautiful color and a long-lasting effect, you will need a very small amount of cream, which (among other things) does not leave marks on clothes.
If we talk about the second product, then the story is somewhat different: thanks to the mother-of-pearl molecules included in the cream, the skin begins to shimmer, favorably emphasizing the contours of your body.
Both products are presented in various shades, and the shimmering cream can be used in a duet with foundation, balm or body mousse.

So, already on sale you can find sculpting powder that combines both highlighter and bronzer. The first is convenient for highlighting individual parts of the face (areas above the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, the center of the forehead, cheekbones), the second is to make your skin slightly tanned and radiant.

To be honest, given the abundance of launches that have begun to pour in on us lately, I was sincerely glad that Chanel this year did without tens of thousands of new products, but concentrated on key elements and their shades. This is especially true for the summer, when you don’t really want to bother with makeup. :) When you just want it to be beautiful and fresh. That's what Lucia Pic, Chanel's international color and makeup designer, thinks so: the resulting collection is an author's selection of basic products with which you can achieve perfectly natural summer makeup without mastering tricky professional techniques.
Of course, the most interesting launch of this summer for many (including me) was the new reflective powder with a natural glow effect Les Beiges. There were a lot of questions/requests, indignation and joy around it, because everyone was worried about whether there were any global changes compared to the classic Les Beiges powder that everyone loves so much? In my opinion, there are two small differences. Firstly, the print. :) Yes, the new powder has a beautiful iridescent texture, which, by the way, has become even silkier. Even the brush included is created specifically for her. Functional? I doubt. Beautiful? Oh yeah. Reminds me of sea shells. :)
Secondly, the finish and effect on the face. Everyone loves the classic “uncorrugated” Les Beiges for creating that same rested complexion, either slightly tanned or in complete bliss. All this remains unchanged. But the new powder offers a little more shine, and this is more noticeable in swatches than directly on the face. Don’t worry, this is still not a highlighter, but rather a beauty powder that can competently hide everything you need on your face and place the right accents. She is quite capable of this. In general, a slightly improved and “combed” version of the already beloved Les Beiges is a must-buy for Chanelemaniacs.
And yes, many people asked me to do comparative swatches of these powders, and I honestly tried. She dodged as best she could. But for the life of me, it is impossible in this life to show the difference in texture on the hand, that’s all. Therefore, I hope that you will not be offended by me and will accept the verbal description of the few differences. :)
Of course, where would summer be without accents on the lips? I have two versions here: rich coral Rouge Coco Stylo 227 Esquisse and sand Rouge Coco Shine 527 Golden Sun. If everything about coral is clear, then in my life I could not imagine the shade “shine” on myself. Too brown for nude, too warm for me in general. But for some reason it looks incredibly cool on the lips! This is what correctly adjusted color means. Even on untanned, pale skin, it looks like the “correct” beige-sand-brown shade with the smallest golden shimmer.
Finally, a manicure. This summer, Chanel suggests either not worrying too much and choosing different variations of nude-peach-orange shades, or, if you focus on your nails, then go straight with black. Bleached peach 560 Coquillage, rich coral 562 Coralium or blue-black 558 Sargasso with mysterious blue shimmer - which one do you like best? I personally vote for 562. :)
Women have long ceased to be content with only the most necessary cosmetics- mascara and - now they eagerly look at photographs in glossy magazines presenting us with new universal products designed to emphasize their youth and attractiveness.
Shimmering face powder looks great in evening light
Recently, shimmer has become extremely popular, which can work magic: well-executed makeup transforms the skin, evens out the tone, emphasizes the expressiveness of the cheekbones, and makes the lips plump and sexy. As a result of using shimmering powder, the skin begins to shimmer, and a chic effect of inner glow appears on the face.
With the help of the play of light, you can emphasize certain features, thereby creating a harmonious, spectacular look. Women are often disappointed after purchasing powder with reflective particles. The reason for this is the inability to use it or the wrong shade.
However, there is no situation that cannot be corrected, so that a delightful shimmering product turns into an instrument of beauty and seduction; all you need to do is choose the right tone and go through a short educational program on mastering makeup techniques
How does shimmer powder work?
You need to know how to use shimmering powder!
The action of this remedy is fully explained by the name. Powder, due to its high degree of reflectivity, is the most in a successful way will emphasize the advantages of appearance, for example, clearly defined cheekbones, high forehead, aristocratic nose.
However, if used ineptly, it can play a cruel joke on its owner - mercilessly highlighting imperfections, slight redness, a pimple, a scar, wrinkles.
It must be remembered that the purpose of powder is not to mask defects, but to sculpt, so it must be applied exclusively to an appropriate base that will hide minor flaws in appearance. Shimmering powder is only suitable for special occasions where you need to look your best.
Some women, lovers of “chic, sparkle, beauty,” use it to create everyday look, but this is not the best solution, since in daylight the shine of the radiant powder does not look entirely appropriate. In this case, stylists recommend combining it with loose mineral powder in equal parts and covering the entire face with this mixture, like the finest veil - the shimmering powder will be practically unnoticeable on the face, but the complexion will be stunning.
The powder contains tiny sparkles. They operate on the principle of micromirrors, reflecting light from the surface of the skin. Thanks to this, the skin receives a unique shimmering effect, which gives it a well-groomed, sleek look. You shouldn’t cover your entire face with it; separate areas stand out, and it is they that give the skin an impeccable glow during the play of light.
When used correctly, it will become your faithful assistant. Forget about concealers, thick foundations that do not allow the skin to breathe and clog pores, leading to the formation of blackheads and creating the notorious mask effect.
Shimmering powder will create the perfect contour on your face, give tired skin freshness, and make wrinkles and blemishes invisible.
How to choose the right shimmer powder
Shimmering face powder highlights the beauty of the face
The first step to creating a luxurious look is the right one. The most common are cream, peach and pink, but blue shades give the skin a sickly appearance and look unnatural.
Those with white porcelain skin should prefer pink transparent powder with a delicate pearl shimmer. you need to make a choice in favor of transparent peach and golden tones, but the pink range is contraindicated for them, as it can give dark skin an unaesthetic ashy tint
When choosing a highlighter, you should consider your skin type. For oily, problematic, combination skin, loose powder with a light texture is more suitable, and for dry and normal skin, it is better to choose liquid and compact products.
How to use shimmer powder
The first stage is applying foundation
The second step on the path to flawless make-up is the ability to use highlighter correctly. First, apply foundation to your face and only after that proceed to the areas that you want to highlight: cheekbones, brow ridges, chin, area above the lips, outer corners of the eyes.
There is no need to apply too much powder to the brush. The more it is applied to the face, the more carefully you need to shade it in order to prevent the creation of strong contrasting highlights on the skin.
The success of applying highlighter depends on the right brush. It should be natural, soft, with a beveled tip. The optimal size is medium, since a brush that is too large can go beyond the boundaries of the treated areas.
Stylists do not recommend using sponges, as they provide a dense coating that visually looks unnatural, and the task of powder is to lightly touch the skin weightlessly and create an airy, shimmering haze.
Which areas to treat with shimmering powder?
So, let's move on to the most important thing, which areas should be applied highlighter. If you want to draw attention to the central part of the face, put a thin layer of powder on the brush and highlight the bridge of the nose, the center of the forehead, the chin and the lines just above the cheekbones. To add expressiveness to the look, highlighter is applied under the eyebrows and on the outer corners of the eyes.
Sensuality of the lips can be achieved by placing powder on the “bow” (the hole above upper lip). Powder can be applied not only to the face, but also to the body. When going to a party, sweep a highlighter brush along the line of your collarbones. In this way you can visually lengthen your neck and highlight it favorably. You can also apply the powder to your feet and hands.
You can cover your body with shimmering powder much more boldly; radiant skin will look sexy and glamorous. First, treat your skin with a product with shiny particles, and then put on your dress, otherwise you risk staining it, especially if the powder is loose. Important: the procedure is performed only on dry skin.
If you previously applied a moisturizer, the powder will lie sloppily and the coverage will be uneven.
Makeup artists also advise you to pay attention - run a brush with a small amount of powder over your hair. Just do it carefully, a light, barely noticeable glow will be enough. Keep in mind that if you used hair gel before, your hair will look unkempt.
The most popular shimmer powders
Shimmering face powder is not a cheap product
Decorative cosmetics with reflective particles cannot be cheap, as they contain expensive components. Shimmering powder is an order of magnitude higher than usual, but it is also intended for special occasions. Luxury brands also include sun filters.

Palettes for contouring and strobing
BeautyHack Editor's Choice
Hi-Lite Opals Palette, Lime Crime
.jpg)
This palette is my favorite! When I want to cheer myself up, I think about her. These are dry highlighters with a very delicate texture. They shine magically, stand firm and attract attention. Fascinating shades: cold pink, golden and warm peach. I apply them on my cheekbones, in the inner corner of my eyes, and sometimes I use them instead of eye shadow.
Price: 3,690 rub.
PaletteFilmstar Bronze & Glow,shadeFair/Medium, Charlotte Tilbury
Each new product from British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury invariably becomes a bestseller, and the palette with bronzer and highlighter is no exception. All Snow Whites should take it into their arsenal - in Bronze&Glow you will find the perfect contouring product! Not too warm and not too cool, the shade with tiny shimmer particles subtly highlights the cheekbones and creates the effect of sun-kissed skin. And a champagne-colored highlighter is perfect for those who don’t want to dazzle passers-by on the street with the shine of their cheekbones.
Price: 3,800 rub.
Set of three products BB Mate Contouring 1.2.3, Dr.Jart +
.jpg)
What the Koreans can’t come up with! First they gave the world BB cream, then they taught us five-step skin care, and now they are introducing the fashion for creamy natural contouring. No Kim Kardashian effect, you just look like you've lost five kilos all at once.
The first thing I appreciated was the packaging, which looked like a chemical laboratory. There are three cones inside. In one there is a beige tone, in the second there is a shimmering highlighter, in the third there is a bright sculptor. The active shade scared me, but in practice it turned out to be translucent (yes, the Koreans can do that!). I started my makeup with Strobe Cream, M.A.C, to give my skin a dewy glow. Local redness was corrected with Dr. Jart beige product. I lightly emphasized the very top of my cheekbones with a dark tube (I covered about three centimeters) and blended the highlighter with my fingers right above the sculpting line. No additional blending was required - all three products went on evenly and thinly, like the lightest BB cream.
Price: 5,130 rub.
Prime And Fine Professional contouring palette, Catrice
The Catrice palette was my discovery. I advise you to immediately leave the highlighter alone - the texture is very dry. I tried to apply it with an eyeshadow brush under the eyebrow line, but the product rolled off immediately. You can forgive the quality of the contouring of the Catrice highlighter. The color is correct, suitable for both my fair skin with olive undertones and my mother's dark skin. The only negative is that the sculptor shades well only in the first 10 seconds after application. When I tried to lighten the tone slightly after five minutes, I noticed that the texture tended to be “spotty.”
Durability is a credit to Prime And Fine; it stays on evenly until it meets micellar water (even on fatty areas skin).
Price: about 300 rub.
Contouring paletteCream Highlight and Contour Palette, NYX
The palette contains 8 shades: 4 corrective and 4 highlighting. The texture is powdery-cream - for everything daytime makeup Apply each pigment in one layer. Longevity is excellent - 8 hours.

Price: 1,015 rub.
PaletteContouring and Strobing, Pupa
The highlighter and corrector are presented in two textures - matte and radiant. The light shade of the corrector (with fine shimmer) evens out the tone and creates the effect of a natural tan, while the dark matte shade perfectly emphasizes the cheekbones - it can draw them out, even if they are not clearly expressed. A matte highlighter will help hide dark circles under the eyes, and apply a shimmery one under the eyebrow and highlight the highlight above the upper lip.

The 8 shades in the sculpting palette are justified - it’s impossible not to find yours. Pale pink corrector creates a Photoshop effect - smoothes out wrinkles under the eyes. The taupe shade is suitable for cheekbones. The brown-red sculptor is a godsend for dark-skinned girls. Our favorite highlighter from the palette is the pearl shade. Despite the gold veins, it looks cool on the skin, with small sparkles.

I also have sculptor favorites in creamy textures. Among them is the Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette. Available in four color combinations (in Russia there are only two, and both are beautiful, especially 20 Light), where, in addition to the darkening sculptor, there is a brightening matte shade, a highlighter with shimmer and blush. They all have a pleasant texture that melts under your fingers with good pigmentation, easy blending and excellent staying power.

Price: 425 rub.

The BeYu brand doesn’t make interesting products very often, but sometimes it works. The Contouring Revolution, in my earlier reviews, is just that case. There are three matte shades (sculptor, highlighter and blush) plus a shimmery highlighter. If you want one universal face palette, this is it.
Price: 1,180 rub.
Prime and Fine Contouring Palette, 01 Ashy Radiance, Catrice
Catrice has an excellent cream contour palette that comes in five shades, but I chose the Prime and Fine, which is better for beginners and easier to use due to the large sections. A real pearl of the mass market - a supernatural soft gray sculptor and highlighter with noticeable but small sparkles. It applies perfectly and lasts until the evening.
Price: about 500 rub.
Face correction palette Contour Correct Conceal, Provoc
A serious thing - a cream palette of six shades, designed for complete facial correction. The shades are matte, very dense and quite dark - it is better to shade them not with your fingers, but with a brush or sponge. This option is not for completely white-skinned people, but if the colors suit you, you can do contouring of any intensity.
Price: about 2,000 rub.
Contouring powders

The result is exactly that standard gray-brown color that creates a natural shadow on the face, without redness, redness and other undesirable undertones. Sold as a separate refill, which can be placed in a magnetic palette or a case can be purchased for it. By the way, the brand has a wide palette of shades for contouring, so if this one doesn’t suit you, there’s plenty to choose from!
Price: 1,100 rub.
Blush The Blush, 22 Tan, Dolce & Gabbana
I love it for the compact semi-matte golden case, the velvet dust bag and the high-quality brush that you can use to work with, which is rare for sculptors!

Maybelline New York also has an inexpensive but cool sculptor. Master Contour V-Shape Contouring Duo Stick Light - a universal taupe with a slight lilac accent, perfect for girls with fair skin.

Price: about 400 rub.

They have unique shades - taupe with a slight green admixture, but don't let that scare you, because in the end they turned out to be the perfect colors (in the first case - powdery, and in the second - cream sculptors). For me, they are the best, not only in shades, but also in the quality of application, shading and pigmentation. It’s a pity that they are not officially represented in Russia yet!

Contouring emulsion Shadowplay, Dusk, Rouge Bunny Rouge

A new product from the elegant RBR brand, whose name refers to the great Joy Division song, is a light contouring cream with a comfortable cushion stick. It's good in everything, especially in the shade (it's the only one in the range so far) - the balance between beige and grayish is right here. Rouge Bunny Rouge know and love to make products for very fair skin, and Shadowplay is no exception.
Price: 2,800 rub.

.jpg)
The brand's latest innovation is the Artist Face line of blushes, highlighters and sculptors, which can be combined as desired into convenient magnetic palettes. There are three shades for sculpting, our lightest is a gray-beige color with a very fine, almost invisible, but adding depth to the shade shimmer.
Price: 1,545 rub.
Powder Terracotta Sun Trio, Light, Guerlain
.jpg)
The easiest way to use this beautiful palette is as a tanning powder - mix all three shades with a fluffy brush and you're done. But you can also do sculpting according to the classic scheme - the palette consists of a light, medium and dark shade. As always with Guerlain, with the compact Terracotta beautiful packaging and the smell of sun and warmth.
Price: about 3,000 rubles.
Infaillible Sculpt Palette, 01 Light, L’Oreal Paris
.jpg)
The stylish black packaging hides a real diamond - the product gives the effect of glowing “from within”. And if you want to enhance the shine, makeup artist Nilofar Moussa advises applying highlighter with a damp brush. Next year, in addition to the classic shades, there will also be multi-colored ones for the most daring. Well, it's time to start crossing off the days on the calendar.
Price: 3,849 rub.
Highlighters Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder, NYX
NYX is always generous with new items. But among all the new things, it seems to me that the NYX Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder duochrome highlighters are what you should try first! Nowadays there is simply a “boom” for such products and textures, if you have not tried anything like this yet - perhaps you will be very pleased to see beautiful shimmers on yourself, reminiscent of mermaids. If you don’t decide to apply them to your cheekbones, the product can always be used as eyeshadow. They open up interestingly if applied on top of another shade - for example, on a dark base.
Price: about 600 rub.
Highlight & Perfect Multipurpose Stick, Maldives Luminescent, trèStiQue
And again the wonderful brand trèStiQue is on the scene, producing cosmetics in pencils. Following this, I’m happy to show you the highlighter - it’s the only one in the brand’s range and it’s very pretty. Maldives Luminescent is a versatile beige-pink champagne shade. At the opposite end of the bottle, as is the brand’s custom, there is a sponge hidden.
Price: about 1,000 rubles.
Highlighter Face Glow Definer, Radiant Rose, Catrice
This creamy highlighter in excellent travel-friendly packaging is part of a limited collection consisting of strobing products (Catrice makes about 20 collections a year; even such specialized collections can be afforded). Neutral pink color, small sparkles and a very comfortable sponge.
Price: about 300 rub.
Barekissed Illuminator, shade Monaco, Sleek Makeup
.jpg)
I love Sleek highlighters - they have magical four-color palettes and a good line of liquid illuminizers. The lightest of the latter is the cool pinkish-pearl Monaco. Unlike highlighters in palettes, Barekissed Illuminator is very gentle, does not shine for a mile and is well suited for daytime strict makeup.
Price: about 1,000 rubles.
Face 2 Change Roller T-Highlighter, Holika Holika
.jpg)
The tireless Korean brand has recently been leaning into decorative cosmetics. New from last winter is a series with roller applicators: bronzer, BB cream and this highlighter. The brand recommends applying it all over the face if desired - this is quite possible variant: The product shines very delicately when applied thinly. The roller is convenient, and the bonus is that you feel like you are doing painting work.
Price: 1,450 rub.
Fluid with radiance effect Aurora Extreme Radiance, shade Star White, Sergey Naumov
I have already praised Aurora from Sergei Naumov’s line, and now we are showing the second highlighter shade, pearl Star White. It is brighter and shinier - multi-colored shimmer has been added to the base, and quite large at that. In our swatches it turned out more peachy than in real life, but you can clearly see that the highlighter does not whiten and will perfectly highlight not only porcelain skin, but also a tan.
Price: 2,460 rub.
Highlighter Sheer Highlighting Duo, Reflects Gilt, Tom Ford
Part of the summer collection of the most beloved and luxurious - double highlighter Reflects Gilt in a white and gold glossy powder compact (Ford usually has dark packaging). Both shades have an almost metallic sheen, both are warm and dark enough - so much so that both shades can easily replace bronzer on fair skin.
Price: about 4,000 rubles.
Highlighter Blushing Hearts Goddess of Love, shade Goddess of Faith, Makeup Revolution
Makeup Revolution's "hearts" give an unambiguous shout-out to the Too Faced brand, but overall this doesn't make them any worse. In a cute cardboard package - golden powder of soft texture and fine grinding. The product is quite bright if applied with a dense brush, but lends itself well to shading.
Price: 640 rub.
Shimmering powder highlighter Powder Highlighter, shade Dandelion Twinkle, Benefit
A lovely new product from the most playful brand in the world - a delicate pink and gold highlighter, continuing the successful Dandelion line. If the original blush was a cool, dusty pink color, the highlighter came out rather warm, golden-peach. Very delicate texture and gentle effect on the skin.
Price: about 1,500 rub.
Pro Light Fusion Illuminating Face Powder, shade 02 Golden, Make Up For Ever
I love products made using Prisma Shine technology - when the pigment is mixed not with a powder base, but with a gel base, due to which the product becomes brighter, lies thinner on the skin and blends perfectly. Pro Light Fusion is made exactly this way - even when applied lightly it gives a noticeable golden highlight, but the grind is very fine and individual sparkles are not visible.
Price: 2,800 rub.
Strobing brush Illuminating Brush, Dr. Jart+
.jpg)
This thing has an applicator in the form wide brush(it's easy to remove to wash) and the highlighter itself is a very soft shimmery cream that can be used all over the face as a primer. In order to achieve true DAT GLOW, you will have to apply several layers.
Price: 4,875 rub.
Highlighter Alliance Perfect, “Shining Pearl” Icy Glow, L’Oreal Paris
.jpg)
In my personal opinion, this is one of the the best means for fair skin in general and creating “icy” looks. This is a bluish illuminator: very cool, with a strong shine and noticeable individual sparkles. The line has a more familiar pinkish-beige shade, but Icy Glow is a godsend for every Snow Queen.
Price: about 500 rub.
Highlighter Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Moonstone, Becca
.jpg)
The BECCA brand made its name on highlighters, and they are really cool. Now there are 10 shades in dry texture in a permanent assortment (there are also cream shades), and you definitely want to have the whole collection. I love them for the nice, elegant cases and the shining effect they give. I especially want to highlight the universal BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Moonstone - it is a light beige-golden pigment, but with a peach undertone.
Price: about 4,000 rubles.
Highlighters Afterglow 8 Hour Powder Highlighter, Urban Decay
.jpg)
Let's not forget about another trendsetter brand - Urban Decay, whose assortment includes three Urban Decay Afterglow 8 Hour Powder Highlighters (of which I would like to highlight the shade Fireball, it is already becoming iconic for the brand). This duochrome (yes, again!) shift from cold pink to warm sand is found not only in their highlighter, but also in eye shadow, eyeliner and lipstick, i.e. you can put together a whole iridescent set!
Price: about 2,000 rub.
Fresh Glow Highlighter 02 Nude Gold, Burberry
.jpg)
I also remember Burberry Fresh Glow Highlighter 02 Nude Gold - a nice glossy case in the brand’s signature checkered pattern, a subtle lace pattern on the surface of the powder and a beautiful white-golden shade that you rarely see anywhere. I'm sharing 15 makeup products that you should try at least once.
Price: about 3,500 rub.
Highlighter Invisible Illumination Nordic Light Instant Illuminizer Shimmering Dusk, Lumene
.jpg)
A similar product, but with a slightly cooler undertone, was recently released by Lumene - the Invisible Illumination Nordic Light Instant Illuminizer Shimmering Dusk highlighter. In general, the product is suitable for every day and for strobing: you can either shade it or layer it to get a rich and noticeable glow. Another interesting fact is that Lumene added their own Arctic spring water (all their cosmetics are based on it), cloudberries and peptides, so that there is not only visual beauty, but also care.
Price: about 1,500 rub.
Shining makeup base Glow Creme, Erborian
.jpg)
Another base on my list of favorites is Erborian Glow Creme. It went on sale this spring. It differs from all others in that it works as a day moisturizer and at the same time gives a light illuminating effect. Therefore, if you like a minimum of layers in makeup, then this is definitely your option!
Price: about 2,500 rub.
Bronzers
Bronzing powder Limited Edition Bronzing & Blush Compact 2017, Clarins
.jpg)
Every summer the brand releases limited edition bronzers in beautiful round packaging. Each of them will last about a lifetime - they contain 20 grams! - but it is absolutely impossible to deny yourself the pleasure of collecting them. This summer's option is a warm terracotta shade with a leaf print on the surface.
Price: about 3,000 rubles.
Compact powder Poudre Eclat Prodigieux, Nuxe
.jpg)
Nuxe doesn't decorative cosmetics- with the exception of the giant Poudre Eclat Prodigieux, scented with the famous Prodigieux oil. The brand positions this thing as a compact powder, and it can really be used as such - on fairly tanned skin; For pale girls, this is just a very beautiful, delicate bronzer with a slight shine.
Price: about 3,000 rubles.
Bronzer Butter Bronzer, shade Bronze, Physicians Formula
.jpg)
It’s not for nothing that the bronzer is called Butter - although it’s powdery, it really feels almost like a non-greasy cream, lays down tightly and blends well with the skin. Because of the texture, it surprisingly applies best with the funny included sponge rather than a brush. The brand has two shades, but both are light enough not to look strange on a pale face.
Price: 870 rub.
Compact powder with radiance effect Extra Dimension Skinfinish, Superb, M.A.C
.jpg)
Beauty bloggers love the Extra Dimension line, and for good reason - this series is doing well both with pigmentation and shades (the products are made using technology). Superb is a beautiful, unusual color: a warm bronze pink that shines with an almost metallic sheen and does not fall off even when applied thinly with a fluffy brush. .
Price: 2,450 rub.
Solar powder for natural glow Diorskin Nude Air Care & Dare, shade 002 Amber Tan, Dior
.jpg)
It's easy to get confused by the names of Dior products: if you're looking for this limited-edition summer bronzer, make sure the box has the Care & Dare subtitle. Classic Nude Air is a powder, and Care & Dare is a bronzer with white highlighter letters. Shade 002, despite the name, is quite light and sparkles with delicate sparkles.
Price: about 2,000 rub.
Reflective powder with a natural glow effect Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Colour, shade Medium, Chanel
.jpg)
An iteration of the classic Les Beiges, this year with a wavy print and a very pliable, almost creamy texture. Since it's not really a bronzer, but more of a powder, it looks best when applied with the brush just barely touching the skin to give a soft glow and overall healthy looking, and did not stand out on the face.
Price: about 3,500 rub.
Compact powder Copper Glow, Erborian
.jpg)
A new product from the brand, which makes the best, in my opinion, BB cream in the world, designed for fair Asian skin. This means that it is perfect for pale-skinned Russian girls, on whom bright bronzers look like foreign spots in the cold season. Very delicate golden-pink shining color, excellent soft application and sponge included.
Price: 2,900 rub.
BeautyHack Editor's Choice
Bronzing powder Sunkissed, Clarins
The packaging looks like a sea shell made of chocolate - I specifically chose a larger bag to carry the bronzer with me as an accessory. On the top glass there are reflections of palm leaves, I imagine that I am in the Maldives. Inside, the tropical pattern is repeated - voluminous leaves and rays “lie” on four bronze sectors. The fifth is dark terracotta, for a draping effect.
I applied the bronzer with a compact Kabuki, Dior brush with dense natural black bristles. I ran along the wings of the nose to make a neat shape, along the hairline and along the contour of the chin.
The texture is not dry or creamy - similar to Belgian melted chocolate without the sugar particles. Blends to the thinnest layer and leaves no stains. I don’t recommend applying powder over bronzer - the dense and dry texture will interrupt the natural sunshine of Sunkissed. If you are concerned about oily shine in the T-zone, I recommend using a matte base before makeup - the Nars white matte tube helps me out.
Price: about 2000 rub.
Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour, Clinique
.jpg)
I brought Chubby Stick for lips from the first bus tours to Europe twelve years ago. I loved them for their creamy, nourishing texture and fun “chubby” pencil shape. The sculptor turned out to be no worse. The color is the right balance between terracotta and chocolate, the texture is plastic and not at all capricious. I blended the dense line into a subtle gradient in a few seconds. There are no spots or extra shadows left. I applied the stick under Caudalie foundation balm with grape extract. I apply the foundation as thinly as possible - the balm did not cover up the sculptor's shade, but gently smoothed it out. Colleagues took a closer look at my cheekbones, but didn’t notice the product - they simply admitted that my face looked “tight” and fresh.
Price: 2,300 rub.
Waterproof sunscreen powder Sun Protective Compact, Sensai
Tone SC01 Light is a salvation for blondes with warm skin tones! It does not “yellow” or shimmer orange. For this powder, the Japanese brand created only four tones and was right - the colors can easily be adjusted to a specific skin tone. Sensai's specialty is silk extract, I felt its effect from the first application. It’s pleasant to touch the skin - Sensai powder softly and evenly “melts” from the warmth of your fingers.
I apply Sun Protective Compact with my favorite fluffy brush with natural bristles and an angled tip, 168, M.A.C. The shading limit is not visible even in my mirror with eight times zoom - this test is beyond the capabilities of most tint products. I ran the tip of the brush along the hairline to correct the shape of the forehead, emphasized the cheekbones and ran two light strokes along the temples. I don’t correct my nose with dark powder - I don’t support the fashion for doll faces from Instagram.
Two sad points: 1) the packaging is large, it won’t fit in a clutch; 2) there is no sponge included - look for the perfect brush with fluffy natural bristles.
Price: about 2,000 rub.
Matte Bronzing Powder, NYX
.jpg)
NYX bronzer is loved by professional makeup artists: for its choice of five shades, matteness and durability. The product is easy to shade with a large fluffy texture, does not crumble and does not leave stains. I often use it as eyeshadow (or as a base for eyeshadow) and instead of blush. Shade 02 muted brown-gray colors will suit for contouring.
Price: 690 rub.
Bronzing powder with shine Sun Club Shimmer, Essence
.jpg)
Waves, shimmer sand, silhouette of a girl in short dress- bronzer at one glance already creates a summer mood! You open it and you smell the coconut (how can you not fall in love?).
Presented in two shades - for blondes and for brunettes, without red and without a “dirty” effect. It is applied thinly, does not get into wrinkles and does not roll down. It is persistent, so it is better to remove it with a cleanser for waterproof makeup.
Price: 285 rub.
Four-color powder with tanning effect 4SUN, Pupa
.jpg)
The powder is one of those budget products that look very expensive: when purchasing, I first of all noticed the large bronze-colored powder compact, which is framed by a tortoiseshell frame.
The bronzer is available in two versions - with pink and golden undertones. The palette contains four noble shades that can be applied individually or mixed (depending on how you have tanned). Lays down like a thin and silky veil. Thanks to SPF 15, it protects the skin from aging.
Price: 644 rub.
Baked mineral powder-bronzer Sun Glow, Catrice
.jpg)
If you want a subtle sun-kissed effect, choose a baked bronzer. Catrice also has a mineral one - ideal for hot weather. The finish is satin, without obvious glitter. But not too long-lasting - for a rich effect I apply two or three layers and renew after two or three hours.
Price: 365 rub.
Velvet tint powder Sun Powder, BeYu
Very light matte texture - it didn’t give any shine, but it “revitalized” the face after a sleepless night. Presented in two versions - for light and darker skin. The shades are pure beige, do not fade into red and go on smoothly, without blemishes. The bronzer is super durable - it will last from morning to evening.
Price: 459 rub.
Baked bronzing powder All Over Glow, Kiss
The perfect bronzer for evening makeup- it is marbled and shimmers effectively on the skin. Available in three shades - light beige (for blondes), bronze (for brunettes) and golden (suitable for everyone).
Can be used on the body: Using a large fluffy brush, apply some shimmery bronzer to your shoulders and collarbones.
Price: 550 rub.
Bronze Sun Powder Panthenol, Bell
A convenient two-tone bronzer: with a light color I emphasize the back of the nose, the center of the forehead and chin, with a dark color I create a tanning effect on the cheekbones and along the contour of the face.
Contains panthenol, which softens the skin and soothes redness. Suitable for my sensitive skin.
