The Bronzing Essentials Of Your Summer Glow

One of the things I adore most about those golden summer days is my sunkissed glow. To achieve this year-round, I use the Nars bronzer powder. The brand recently released its new Nars Laguna collection, which gives off ” bronze goddess” vibes.

Bronzed Glow In The Swipe Of A Brush: The Laguna Bronzer

It is the perfect time for me to give this bronzer a go, as my previous one has seen better. The Laguna bronzers are available in nine beautiful shades, giving all skin tones a warmer, luminous look. In this collection, the finely milled bronzer is talc-free and flawlessly natural. The durable powder leaves a soft, smooth layer on the skin's surface. Using high-quality pigments and translucent micro-spheres, this powder adds a warm tint to your makeup and improves skin texture. And as if that wasn't enough, Nars also released mini versions to take with you.

My favourite shades are 02 and 03, which are easy to work with. These shades are perfect to use all over the face and can be built up as a contour.

The Quad Eyeshadow Laguna

I adored using this palette of eyeshadows. Nars will Light up lids this summer with multi-finish shades (Matte, shimmer, and glitter). Nars created rich, high-impacting eyeshadows using pure pigments and an innovative liquid binding system. Bronzed neutral tones inspire the palette. You will find the following colours: Sparkling nude, Frosted ginger, Soft brown, and copper. The eyeshadows are perfect for all levels of makeup lovers. They blend effortlessly onto the skin and can be used as an eyeshadow or eyeliner.

The Afterglow Lipbalm Laguna

A summer glow is nothing without a juicy lip, and Nars just released the perfect collection of deeply hydrating tinted lip balms. Adding a natural shine to your lips, the balms are available in 9 shades. Enriched with a Monoï Hydrating Complex: Coconut Oil, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, and Squalene, the tinted balms provide daily moisture. I recommend these lip balms to all those that love comfortable makeup. The balms smooth fine lines on the lips and keep your smile nice and supple.

My Experience

I knew I had to get the collection as soon as it was released. Like the summer days, this collection brings back the beauty of the “golden hour”. It perfects you, awakens your eyes and plumps your lips for a light look. I enjoyed playing with the palette shades, as they made my blue eyes pop.

The bronzing powder is similar to the previous ones, but with the talc-free formula, they are even cleaner. My skin looks and feels great when wearing it, and even light skin tones can find their happiness.

I would love to try more shades in the lip balms as they are so comfy to wear. I tried applying them over my lipstick, and it also worked great. The only recommendation is to use your fingers so the applicator isn't stained.

Bronze it up!

This creamy formula is sure to give you a sun-kissed glow. Easy-to-blend and buildable, this long-lasting bronzer gives a natural finish to your cheeks. The bronzers feature a range of warm tones, including the best seller and iconic Bronzing Powder shade Laguna (02). Suitable for every skin tone with a variety of dimensional looks.

Shades

Released in a bronze capped jar, the cream bronzer is 19g of pure sun. Existing in five shades:

• Laguna 01 – light bronze, neutral.
• Laguna 02 (original) – light/medium bronze, neutral. (Swatched below)
• Next is, Laguna 03 – medium bronze, warm.
• Laguna 04 – medium-deep bronze, warm.
• Laguna 05 – deep bronze, neutral.

The cream effortlessly glides onto the skin, delivering a long-lasting, second-skin warmth. Scented with Monoï de Tahiti Oil, also known for its multiple benefits:

• Soothing, softening properties
• Locks in moisture
• Firms, tones the complexion

To apply this creamy bronzer Nars released a new brush. Simple swirl the #14 Bronzer Brush into the bronzing Cream to pick up a moderate amount of product. Gently apply it in a circular motion. This gives the complexion a naturally tanned effect. Remember to start light and build it up.

Brush. Blend. Build

Although you can apply this product with different brushes or your fingers I recommend investing in this brush.

With extremely soft, synthetic hair it holds and applies the product for a seamless finish. The brush is angled which gives a natural effect. It's a perfect balance, not too soft or hard. The brush is densely packed with synthetic hairs of the highest quality.

My Review

You can apply this bronzer to makeup or natural skin. I tried the shade 02, using the specific brush for the bronzer. I found the cream very easy to blend out, there were no harsh borders. It looks soft on the cheek and gives a healthy sun-kissed look.

The scent plunged me into a summer vision, who doesn't love monoi? The brush is an investment but well worth it! Also, easy to clean and perfect for cream, and liquid textures.
