For sun-kissed skin, bronzer can be a girl's best friend. "I feel that everyone should have some kind of bronzer, according to their skin shade," says celebrity makeup artist Leslie Lopez. She used Guerlain Terracotta power to give Kate Hudson's fair skin a tanned look and compliments it with subtle colors. "Colors are great for the summer," said the makeup artist, who added Dior Blush in Peachy Keen, Lorac lip polish (try Pink Ice), and a flirty eye consisting of Estee Lauder Signature Silky Eyeshadow Duo in Black Moon (use the gray shade as the inner highlighter), to suit the actress’s coloring. To find your best bronzer, test out shades in a place with natural lighting; the point is to avoid looking like there’s too much on.
