Summer Face: Clarins Bronzing Duo



If you're fair skinned like me you may struggle to find a bronzer that doesn't leave your skin looking muddy, shimmer tastic or something resembling an oompa loompa. I've had an on off relationship with NARS Laguna Bronzer which is passable with a really light dusting but I think I've found my go to bronzer in the shape of Clarins Bronzing Duo* in the shade light.


Not only does this duo produce a healthy sheen to my skin by subtly warming up your skin tone but the mineral powder formula combined with plant extract and purity of minerals makes application a dream. I can build this up easily and don't have to worry about going over board with this and it really pulls off a natural sun kissed glow. It also contains SPF15, winning all round for us paler ladies.

You can mix the lighter and darker shade together to create an all over glow, and sweep the darker shade across your temples, jawline, nose and sculpt your cheekbones for a more defined look. What I love about this compact is that I have no fear when applying of going over the top as it blends into my skin seamlessly and feels so light which is great for this heat.

A great summer compact for a quick summer face without the hassle. Definitely been carrying this around for on the go touch ups..

  16. I love the look of the colours, I find it very hard to find good bronzers- they almost always come off as too muddy or orange but these shades look just lovely! Also, you really gorgeous in both photos, glowing in the good kind of way :) xx
