I Always Have A Backup of This Chanel Bronzer

For the face that feels like it never tans or the girl who loves looking tanned more than actually being tanned, there is Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base. What’s not to love about this bronzer? It’s Chanel. It’s multipurpose. It’s the size of a dinner plate. It’s the best damn bronzer money can buy.

The biggest offences that bronzers make is when they show up orange, or are too sparkly. This is neither too cool nor too warm, too shimmery nor too matte. It works so well for every skintone because however you wear it and whatever your undertone, it doesn’t sit on skin but instead blends into it. Significant enough that people will notice the effect but not so drastic that people will think you don’t use SPF. It has the perfect cream texture - bouncy and blendable, it melts into your skin instead of sitting on top or ruining your hard-earned glow.

You can blend it across your whole face before any other makeup, but it looks especially lovely as a finish on high points and under the eyes/over the nose for a ‘holiday skin’ effect. Build it up around your nose for the look of slightly sunburned skin, but in a responsible, temporary way. Alternatively, pat it onto lids and sweep it in ‘3’ shapes down the sides of your face for definition, or dust it from forehead to neck to make skin look healthier - without looking like you’re actually wearing any makeup. It’s the best of both bronzer-contour worlds, depending on how you angle your brush.

If you’re going to add one product to your makeup routine to shake it up for summer, let it be this. It’ll give you holiday vibes without the expensive, savings-draining trip you don’t even feel like planning.
