Now real talk moment:
I cannot tan. Or, at least, I shouldn’t tan. Whenever I have gotten a great tan “naturally” it usually means that I’ve actually gotten burned, then freckled, then burned again, and then it fades into a tan. So, as you can see – that’s a dangerous, and frankly reckless, way to achieve a summery bronze.

My Favourite Products to Achieve a Perfect Summer Bronze
Self Tanners:
As I mentioned in my latest Sun-less Tanning routine, I am obsessed with the St Tropez Water Mousse, and St Tropez Water Mist.



Bronzers:
Laura Mercier Soleil
I recently just got and started using the Laura Mercier Soleil bronzer and you guys – I am obsessed. This bronzer is a bit lighter than what I have used previously, but I seriously love it. It adds such a smooth, soft, and delicate bronze to your skin and never looks chalky, muddy, or orange. It’s absolutely stunning.Benefit Hoola Bronzer
The bronzer I have been using for years and years is my Benefit Hoola Bronzer. I love this bronzer and the fact that it’s a slightly cooler and darker bronze shade than the others in today’s post. I tend to use this more when I have a tan or my sunless tan is at its deepest bronze. I find when I am back to my normal paleness that this bronzer can appear a bit too harsh on my skin. If I use this when I am pale, I tend to mix it with a lighter bronzer so that this bronzer acts more like a contour shade.
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Palette
The Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Palette has been one of my go-tos since last summer, and I honestly think it’s going to always be in my makeup bag. This bronzer is lighter than Hoola, but a slight bit deeper than Soleil, making it a great in-between shade for when I am looking for something to give me a bit of a deeper bronze without looking like I am contouring. I would also say this shade is a bit warmer than the two above.
