A flattering bronzer is a makeup-bag staple, but finding one that doesn’t settle into fine lines or look muddy on mature skin can be tricky. The best formulas for aging complexions are hydrating, blendable and provide a natural-looking warmth without emphasizing texture. From glow-boosting liquids to silky powders, these bronzers bring the sun, no filter required.
