Bronzers are the forgotten heroes of the dusty make-up bag, their many brilliances now overshadowed by the distraction of contouring. Apply delicately for a radiant glow, or buff on to the bits of your face where the sun falls to fake the effects of an afternoon bunking off work and drinking spiked lemonade under a tree. Some of them even leave you with a tan after you’ve washed it off. Imagine!
