The Season's Best Self-Tanners

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Self-Tanning Bronzing Veil

Why we like it: We're generally wary of putting self-tanner on our face, but this pen made us feel in control. Click the button on the bottom to regulate the dose, then use the brush to apply it exactly where you want it. (We still blended a little with our fingertips to ensure a streak-free finish.) The formula's slight iridescence and subtle bronze tint had our complexion glowing from the get-go, and by lunchtime a colleague asked if we'd been on vacation. 

Cost: $15.
