liquid dreams Liquid bronzers tend to be more sheer and can be applied before foundation. I love applying liquid bronzers with a damp Beautyblender, as you can achieve a gorgeous, gentle sun-kissed glow by stippling a small amount onto the skin.
Stila Aqua Glow Perfecting Bronzer, £24, M&S, Swansea
Apply sparingly on areas of the face where the sun naturally hits. Apply a little at a time and build up to the intensity desired.

CUSTOMISE YOUR COMPLEXION Liquid bronzers don’t have to go straight onto your face - there’s a new generation of highly pigmented formulas intended for mixing with other products.
Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Bronzing Fluid, £24.50, John Lewis, Cardiff
Use the back of your hand as a palette and mix a drop at a time into your usual moisturiser or foundation, to create a custom blend perfect for your complexion.

CREAM OF THE CROP... If you prefer a dewy foundation look rather than matte, try a cream bronzer.

Cream bronzers offer more coverage, and can be applied sparingly over the face and neck to enliven a tan, or under cheekbones to contour the cheeks.

Use your index finger to dot the bronzer in the desired area, then your middle finger to blend out.
