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: Golden Sparkle Sauce

I know, the name sounds delicious... but you can't eat this sauce! Golden Sparkle Sauce by Pop Beauty comes in what appears to be a puff paint squeeze tube, but it's actually a powerful weapon in maintaining smudge-free eye makeup! The shimmery substance can be applied as a layer on your lid over shadow and liner to seal eye makeup for a twinkling waterproof finish, or it can be mixed with loose glitter or pigment to serve as a long-lasting adhesive for otherwise hard-to-apply loose powder. The result? Budge-proof shadow and liner with a little dash of extra dazzle. Sparkling magic in a bottle!
Price: $10
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Golden Sparkle Sauce to the Hive.
