Blush and bronzer together are the combination I rely on most throughout summer. Even on days when I’m wearing very little makeup, perhaps just concealer, mascara and lip balm, these are the two products I almost always reach for. They add warmth, dimension and that effortless glow that makes skin look healthy and well-rested. During the warmer months, I naturally gravitate towards cream and liquid formulas. I love products in stick form or lightweight textures that melt into the skin and leave behind a natural-looking finish. They feel fresher, more flattering and suit the relaxed approach I tend to take towards makeup in summer. That said, I often combine cream and powder formulas. If I know I’ll be out all day or want my makeup to last well into the evening, layering powder products over cream is one of my favourite ways to add longevity without sacrificing a natural finish. These are the blushes and bronzers that have been in constant rotation for me this summer. Some are long-time favourites, others are newer discoveries, but all of them have earned a permanent place in my makeup bag.
