This post goes out to all the ladies out there who have
spent a pretty penny on bronzing powder only to have it shatter into
unsalvageable pieces in their purses or suitcases. With summer on the horizon,
and with it (hopefully) many weekend jaunts –- I decided there was no time like
the present to try a cream bronzer. Being fair skinned, I worried a cream would
be too pigmented and would make me look greasy rather than Gwyneth Paltrow lit
from within –- the ultimate goal.
Well, a quick consult with a Nars makeup artist was all it took to
settle my doubts. A cult favorite, the brand’s multi-purpose stick for eyes,
cheeks, lips and body known as The
Multiple ($39) comes in a plethora of shades, including St. Barts, i.e., my
new summer bronzer. Pale-friendly, with only a faint shimmer, fears of looking
too dark and shiny were tossed out the window.
Little did I know, since cream bronzer’s applied with your
fingers, you actually have more
control over the intensity. Simply dab a bit where the sun naturally hits like
the top of the forehead, chin, the cheeks, a little down the bridge of your
nose and even on the brow bone, and blend down. While my summer travels won’t
be nearly as glamorous as her Lady of Goop’s, at least I’ll arrive at my
destination with my bronzer intact and ready to glow.
