A sun-kissed complexion has a way of bringing warmth and life to any beauty look.
Beyond adding a hint of colour, a bronzer can sculpt facial features, enhance natural contours and create the illusion of a healthy glow. Whether you prefer a subtle warmth or more defined definition, the key is finding the right formula and finish.
Uniquely local
If you have struggled to find the right bronzer shade, XV may have the solution. Its Helios Soft Sculpt Cream Bronzer & Contour is formulated with Malaysian complexions in mind.
The smooth, buildable formula makes it versatile enough for everyday makeup as well as more glamorous occasions.
Available in four shades, the cream melts into the skin without looking harsh, making it a great option for those new to bronzing.

Fluid radiance
Made to impart a natural bronze, the Haus Labs Sun Dipped Hydrating Bronzing Veil pairs sheer pigment with a skincare-rich formula.
Phytosqualane and marine algae help nourish the skin, delivering a healthy glow that comes from well-hydrated skin.
Promising up to 12 hours of even wear, the bronzer is waterproof, sweat-proof and humidity-proof, making it a fitting companion for days spent basking in the warmth.
Precision placement
In one fell swoop, the Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Artistry Stick glides seamlessly onto the skin, adding dimension and a sun-kissed effect.
Designed for precision, it can be applied to the cheeks, eyes and Cupid’s bow to sculpt and define facial features.
Its soft matte formula mimics natural shadows, making it an ideal tool for adding extra definition.
Universal pre-glow
Just as its name suggests, the Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Bronzing Primer Serum combines two steps in one product.
Its lightweight hybrid formula warms the complexion while priming the skin for makeup.
Infused with micro light-reflecting “pearls”, the formula plays with light to create a sophisticated, lit-from-within luminosity.

Curated warmth
Huda Beauty’s latest release, the Bronze Filter Palette, builds on the success of its blush and highlighter quads.
Offering five intensities, the palette features a variety of tones and textures, each designed for a specific purpose.
For a multidimensional look, swirl the shades together to create effortless definition. Alternatively, layer the powders for a seamless finish.
The finely milled formula helps blur imperfections and soften harsh lines, leaving skin with a diffused, soft-focus effect.
