Make-Up Must-Haves To Extend Your Summer Glow
Multi-Use Glow Stick
£38 | CHANEL
The brand’s Les Beiges Bronzing Cream gets the bigger fanfare, but Chanel’s Baume Essentiel is a hero in its own right. The multi-use illuminating balm gives the skin a youthful glimmer. Housed in compact, sleek packaging, it’s great for on-the-go, instant radiance. Swipe the shade ‘Solar Glow’, a pretty, majestic copper, onto the high points of the face and blend it in with your fingers.

Softsculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer®
£32 | Makeup By Mario
Unsurprisingly, this is one of Makeup By Mario’s bestsellers. It is exceptional – it won’t add much coverage but it will create a dipped-in-candlelight glow to your skin. If your complexion is naturally sallow, this silky balm will cast a sheer veil over imperfections to make you look healthier and skin more even.

Gorgeous™ Cream Bronzer
£38 | Trish Mcevoy
This elegant bronzer compact is perfect if you like subtle, healthy warmth. It contains no tell-tale shimmer, so the finish is subtle and natural-looking. Thanks to its soft, velvety formula, it blends easily with a densely-packed brush and feels virtually weightless on the skin – ideal for oily types wanting to limit shine. Plus, it works well as a no-frills eyeshadow base if you’re in a pinch.

Dew Bronze Soft-Focus Effortless Liquid Bronzer
£20 | Saie
Cool-girl label Saie is a master at nailing that lit-from-within glow. The gel-liquid texture of this bronzer feels dewy and lightweight on the skin – great if you prefer a barely-there feel. The colours are well-chosen, but the payoff is very forgiving, so don’t sweat it if you’re torn between shades. Use the chunky doe-foot applicator to dot the product along the forehead and cheekbones for precisely-placed warmth.

Sun Shift Cream Bronzer
£41 | Ilia Beauty
ILIA’s clever cream-to-powder bronzer is one of our current make-up favourites for a reason. Glowy, rather than glittery, it creates a diffused, golden-hour effect on the skin. The squalane-rich formula goes on like a cream but dries down quickly into a powder texture that stays put all day. Apply it to the tops of the cheekbones and up towards the temples for a hazy, soft-focus shimmer.

Brightening CC Serum
£62 | By Terry
The ‘Sunny Flash’ shade of By Terry’s Brightening CC Cream blended with your everyday foundation makes for a seriously flattering, bronzy base. If you like all-over warmth, make this your new go-to. Powered by rose stem cells, it delivers lasting hydration and uses clever ‘optical glow’ technology to blur imperfections and create the illusion of a more even complexion.

Cream Contour Stick
£28 | 19/99
Devoid of shimmer, this cream by 19/99 adds soft, understated warmth. Despite being marketed as a contour product, ‘Tea’ is a wearable warm-toned medium brown which works comfortably as a bronzer. The stick format is user-friendly, blending easily for precise application. Simply draw it onto the areas of the face where the sun would naturally hit and blend it out with your fingertips.
