This skin smoothing, pore-blurring bronzer was so anticipated ahead of its launch this month, that 5,000 people joined a waiting list to get first dibs. Luckily, it does not disappoint. The silky, skin care-infused powder solves for two issues makeup artist and brand founder Charlotte Tilbury consistently ran up against when using traditional bronzer: a drying effect (addressed with the inclusion of hyaluronic acid) and a tendency to catch on skin and makeup (bypassed with the use ultrafine powder). Bonus: It's also packaged in a refillable compact.
This cream-gel bronzer is made from a coconut oil base, but magically applies with a silky texture that transforms into a matte finish. Since tapping it in with fingers can cause foundation to shift underneath, Apanasewicz suggests using a brush to blend the cream in without mucking up base makeup.
