TRIED AND TESTED: Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Summer Escape Bronzing Powder, €36

Bronzers, body wash and tinted moisturisers.

The lightest of three available shades is still very dark. The powder went on streaky and blended (after a lot of buffing) to an unnatural-looking orangey-brown. The amount of sparkly pigment makes this a poor choice for both subtle day make-up and evening contouring. I applaud the brand’s efforts to infuse make-up with antioxidants but I wonder about the benefit of it in a dusting of a bronzer.
