My friend Christina and I share an affinity for makeup, specifically of the bronzer variety.  She's so far introduced me to a number of my favorites including the most recent M.A.C. 'Wash & Dry' Studio Sculpt Defining Powder which she actually picked up on our way to Barcelona last month.  Impulse makeup shopping at its best.  I digress. With the official start of summer right around the corner, I've needed to update my beauty routine to reflect the warmer weather that's already taken up residency on my skin.  Since my skin tone varies from season to season, I find that bronzer is a quick and simple tweak.  Whether it's a few swipes of the powder bronzer to create a more contoured look on my cheeks and temples, or a liquid bronzer to give me that extra glow, it's the one step I always incorporate into my summer makeup routine.  Here are just a few of my favorite bronzers right now.
