At this point most of us are wise to the wonders of bronzer. They give us the glow-up we crave. We can get our tan on 365 without worrying about UVA and UVB rays and, thanks to all the beauty experts whipping up new and improved formulas in their laboratories, we have options like e.l.f.’s Bronzing Drops.
With zero powder and all the sun-kissed liquid goodness we could ever want, this bronzer works in three fluid ways. One, as an all-over antioxidant rich serum to nourish our skin and give our entire complexion a boost of warmth. Two, dropped into our favourite face moisturizer, sunscreen and/or body lotion for head-to-toe pretty and light luminosity. And three, as a buildable, glowing touch of golden-brown colour on our cheekbones, the apples of our cheeks, around the eye bone area and wherever else we feel like spot dabbing and rubbing a little in.
Vegan, clean, fair trade and cruelty-free, the tinted serum is made with do-good ingredients inclusive of nourishing vitamin E, hydrating sunflower seed oil and antioxidants marula and raspberry seed oils. And it’s available in three sunny shades—”Bronze 1 Rose Gold” with a rose gold shimmer, “Bronze 2 Pure Gold” with a yellow gold shimmer and “Bronze 3 Copper Gold” with a copper gold shimmer—that can be mix and matched together as nicely as they are worn separately. Bonus, no sponges or brushes necessary, we just dab a little on with our fingers for our face or rub a lot emulsified in between our hands before we apply it to our body.
And then there’s our expert beauty tip: we like to squeeze a dollop of “Bronze 2” into our e.l.f. Soft Glam Satin Foundation (yup, this product is fantastic and new too!) in “15 Fair Warm” for sheer, optimum glowing coverage. The wonders of bronzers…they never cease to amaze.
