Let me start off by pointing out that you will find nary a self-tanner nor a bronzer here! While I'm all about an all-over summer glow myself, this post is all about incorporating season-festive bronze shades into other aspects of your makeup -- eyes, lips, nails -- and proving you can rock the color with or without a tan. I mean, just look at Charlize Theron! Bronze shades, whether your skin is rich and dark, creamy porcelain, or somewhere in between, have a way of instantly summer-izing your look and warming up your features, whether in the form of a smooth coppery shadow like NARS' Soft Touch Pencil or a sparkly bronze lip gloss like this one from Too Faced. Who needs a spray tan to look sun-kissed when you have all these gorgeous bronze shades to highlight your best features one at a time? Yes, one at a time -- too much bronze will have you looking less like a summer goddess and more like the next cast member of "Jersey Shore."

Hot In The Hive: Too Faced Lip Bronzer

Just because summer is drawing to a close, it doesn't mean you need to ditch your fab summer glow and banish all your tan-enhancing products to their train-case storage. In fact, there's one place that might have been neglected by your bronzing beach days -- your lips! While the idea of a tan is certainly summery, the bronze-y shimmer of this Too Faced Lip Bronzer is completely fall festive. The tropical flavors and scents may have you nostalgic for poolside days of your recent past, but the three pretty golden-based shades and skin-soothing conditioners never go out of season! Plus, as a compulsive buyer of all lip gloss, especially shimmery versions of natural hues, I can't help but be on board for this sun-kissed take on the nude lip!
Price: $17 each
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Too Faced Lip Bronzer to the Hive.
