Nars Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo, $37

TotalBeauty.com rating: 9

"Many makeup artists recommend applying blush on cheeks after using bronzer to make a faux tan look more natural. That's exactly why Nars Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo is a keeper, with bronzer/highlighter on one side and blush on the other. (No brush though; you'll need your own). The powder formulas are shimmery enough to make skin glow, but not so much that they enhance flaws. And they offer medium coverage that won't budge all day. Of the five shade options, my favorite combo is the universally flattering Orgasm/Laguna."

It wasn't listed surprisingly since it's always sold out when I want to buy more, but the best bronzer this fair-skinned girl has ever used in Too Faced Snow Bunny. It's perfect if you just want a little glow or want to look darker without looking fake or cake-y.

Super helpful! All the bronzers I try to pick out always look so fake, I;m glad there are some great alternatives to try.

I love NARS everything, especially the blushes and bronzers. This product is one of those you will always want to invest in.
