GOSH Bronzing Powder

GOSH is a brand that produces products of a consistently high standard whilst remaining firmly in the high street price bracket. The newest item to cross my path is their bronzing powder and all I have to say is a big fat wow.

This is the first 'cool-toned' bronzer I have come across on the high street. Very pale girls such as myself are well aware that cheap bronzing products, promising the 'healthy glow' and 'radiant tan' that we crave in the summer months, are merely a front for nuclear orange disasters and streaky skin. Not this one.

The nut brown shade of this powder leans yellow rather than pink, meaning that orange tones are reduced and over-application is almost impossible. It's warm rather than tanned - don't be expecting St Tropez-style results - but it gives a healthy and natural looking 'kiss' of colour that won't leave you looking ruddy.

GOSH's usual super-soft formula mean application with the fluffiest brush you can find is a must, and as always beware of fallout. The matte finish is sophisticated - shimmer in bronzers is best left to 12year olds unless you're already blessed with a natural tan. For £7.99 this outstrips most high end bronzers I've tried too.
