How to Get "Golden Hour" Skin—Starring the Summer Bronzing Kit
A touch of terracotta warmth, a little bronze gleam—two products are all you need to create an effortless summer glow. Inspired by that just-right golden sunset light, Gucci grabs our Summer Skin Kit and a glass of rosé to get started in today's tutorial.
First up is Beauty Butter Bronzer: Gucci uses the clean, hydration-boosting formula—spiked with cocoa, mango, and cupuacu butters—to "warm up the skin" for an authentic, sun-kissed base. "No shimmer," she explains, as she swirls the Powder Brush into the bronze matte powder and sweeps it horizontally on her cheeks, eyelids, temples, and forehead—anywhere the sun would naturally hit. Then comes a hint of glassy golden glow, courtesy of Lit Up Highlight in Brûlée, which "catches the light beautifully" on cheekbones and adds definition to eyelids.
The secret to the two-step shortcut to summer skin, which debuts today exclusively on Westman-Atelier.com, lies in its perfect matte-to-luminous ratio. Swipe on a favorite beachy lip color—in this case, Squeaky Clean in Nou Nou, a skin-brightening coral—and you're good to go in an instant. "Golden hour" magic, with or without the sunset.
The new Summer Skin bundle is available now and includes Brûlée plus Beauty Butter Bronzer in your choice of Coup de Soleil or Soleil Riche shade.
