I'm Paranoid About Sun Damage, So I Rely on These 13 Liquid Bronzers Instead
There’s nothing like a natural, sunkissed complexion. But spending time in the sun is risky, especially if you are prone to burning. Thankfully, the best liquid bronzers can give you that irresistible lit-from-within glow without the trauma of sun damage. These days, bronzers come in all sorts of formulas and finishes that will help you look healthy, refreshed, and alive (helpful for anyone who needs to look more awake and less like a sleep-deprived zombie). A good bronzer can really be a blessing!
Liquid bronzers have their own advantages compared to cream or powder formulas. They’re great for people with dry skin, as they can help add hydration (though you’ll want to make sure your skin isn’t flaky by exfoliating first). They can also be mixed with other products, such as moisturizer or foundation, and they’re easily buildable, which can result in a more natural-looking glow compared to some of the other types of bronzers.
Applying any kind of liquid makeup can be tricky, but especially with bronzers, too much can look streaky and unnatural. With most liquid bronzers, a little can go a long way. To find the right shade, go a shade or two darker than your skin tone, nothing more. “Liquid bronzers are great for a very natural look and healthy glow,” says Charlie Riddle, global beauty director at Stila. “Using your fingers, you can apply it onto the apples of your cheeks and the bridge of your nose for a sunkissed look.
Liquid bronzers are versatile, and they can also be applied with a brush, according to Etienne Ortega, celebrity makeup artist and Deck of Scarlet brand ambassador. “To apply liquid bronzer, first shake the bronzer to ensure good consistency. Put a dab on your palette before applying, but if you don’t have a clean palette the back of your hand works as well,” says Ortega. Then, use a soft and fluffy brush to sweep into the contour areas of the face, such as the cheekbones, temples, hairline, and lastly, the jawline. “I like to go over the area and lightly dab with the same brush to make sure it’s pressed into the skin.”

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
