The Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer & Bronzing Brush Review + Swatches

 *This post contains gifted items.

Over the past year or so, cream bronzers have often taken precedent over powder bronzers for me, as they just blend into the skin so well and are super easy to use, looking more natural on the skin. One new release I was super excited for is the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer, as anything Charlotte Tilbury creates is always outstanding!

The Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer* (£42.00 for 21g) is a cream bronzer that is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid and sunshine Provitamin D3 to give the skin a sun-kissed, healthy-looking glow in just seconds. The Glow Bronzer is available in four shades - Fair, Medium, Tan and Deep and here I have the shade Fair as I have fair to light skin colouring. The Bronzer is packaged in a beautiful rose gold and brown art deco style compact complete with a large mirror on the inside of the lid.

This is Charlotte Tilbury's first ever cream bronzer and it blurs, hydrates and adds a wash of sun-kissed colour to the complexion, whilst also improving the look of your skin every time you wear it. As soon as you apply it, your skin feels hydrated and not at all dry and within just a month of continued wear, your skin will look smoother and healthier. Once applied onto the skin, the Bronzer lasts for up to 16 hours and is sweat and humidity proof, so it is the perfect summer product.

Key ingredients include Hyaluronic Acid to deeply hydrate the skin and lock in moisture for smoother, hydrated looking skin, Sunshine Provitamin D3 which converts to Vitamin D on exposure to sunlight for an even sun-kissed glow, Finely Milled Pearls that reflect the light for an illuminating bronzed glow and healthy looking skin, Elastomer Polymer for a glow-glide texture that gives the complexion a second-skin effect, Soft-Focusing Silica to smooth the appearance and feel of the skin to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and Film-Forming Resin to seal in the skincare benefits to improve the look of the skin instantly and over time.

After applying your foundation, lightly buff the bronzer onto the skin in circular motions, focusing on areas where the sun naturally hits, such as the cheekbones, forehead, nose and jawline. Blend the cream formula using light brush strokes to diffuse the bronzer for that second-skin finish. I would start with a small amount of the bronzer, as it is absolutely buildable, so if you want more, you can keep adding as much as you like. As the compact is so big, I also like to take the bronzer over my shoulders, collarbone and arms for a super duper sun-kissed look!

To go with this beautiful bronzer, you can also get the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Bronzing Brush* (£35.00). This is an expert, fine art-inspired bronzing brush that makes applying the Beautiful Skin Bronzer effortless, or of course, any other bronzers you regularly use. It is a must-have to apply cream texture formulas for instantly sun-kissed skin. The Bronzing Brush comes with a rose gold handle and densely packed bristles that pick up the perfect amount of product, and silky smooth fibres that effortlessly fan over the face and body.

It feels SO amazingly soft and silky against the face, with absolutely zero pulling or tugging on our gentle skin. The Brush is 100% cruelty free, skilfully handmade with ultra-soft synthetic fibres and those soft, smooth fibres are also perfect for those with sensitive skin. The short, ergonomic handle is easy to use on the go, and perfect for a precise application. As the brush is a good size, you can use it on both the face and body, for an all-over sun-kissed, glowy look.
