Come mid-March, I’m always on the lookout for the best bronzer to warm up the pale complexion I’ve been sporting all winter long. More often than not, the products I test fall dismally short: They’re either too fake-looking, too shiny, or end up making my skin look dirty. But this year, my search came to a swift end when I stumbled on Physicians Formula Pearls of Perfection Multi-Colored Light Bronzer ($12; physiciansformula.com)—a hypoallergenic blend of powder beads that imparts a subtle iridescent glow. Unlike most bronzers, it gives a rosy-golden radiance (no icky orange) and offers the smooth, flawless finish of a loose powder. The only drawback? If you’re not paying attention, the pearls can spill, so it’s best to apply the bronzer carefully with a large, fluffy brush. —Kai Alexis Smith
