In light of the scary dangers that too much sun poses, I have turned to sunless tanner and bronzer in the past few years. Back in the old days - high school and college, even post college for some years, I was a sun worshiper. Hard to believe I know if you could see me now.
That all said, in trying to not turn mahogany, I have found some wonderful bronzers that can help a girl out. Oh, the mahogany comment comes from my dermatologist. For many many years I avoided the sun like it was the plague until my dermatologist (who I see every 6 months) told me it was okay if I got "some color...just don't turn mahogany...essentially still wear sunscreen, but 'some' sun will do you good." I will never be quite as tan as I was in my high school and college years. Yes, I will post a picture one day. Why do people look so much better when tan? Who knows, but there are ways to fake it without skin damage and skin cancer risks.
Finally, that takes us to my bronzer recommendations. Some apply bronzer to highlight areas of their face...ummm me, I put it all over my face (is that bad?), chest (depending on type of shirt), and sometimes a little on my arms (if I'm looking too tan on my face and my arms are white).
1. My all-time bronzer go-to:
MAC Bronzing Power in Refined Golden
I discovered this awesome bronzer when I had a trial run for my wedding makeup. I thought it was just the makeup artist that worked wonders (she did), but it was also her choices of makeup that really made an impact.
2. The runner-up...and often recommended on beauty message boards:
NARS Bronzing Power in Laguna
