Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more The sun is out, which means our bronze game is on – and we don't just mean how strong are the tan lines, but how much bronzer we can wear to look naturally sunkissed, and then some. You may have heard the term 'blusher blindness', which is when people apply lashings of rouge to their cheeks it's obvious they are wearing make-up. Well, we have that but with bronzer. We can't get enough of it. When I first started dabbling into the world of beauty as a teenager, my first go-to was bronzer, which was described to me as 'the JLo glow', and the phrase has stuck with me ever since. From matte to shimmer, powder, stick to liquid and cream bronzers, we have tried (and loved) them all. However, there is one standout formula that has recently topped the charts. According to John Lewis, searches for 'cream bronzer' are up by 114% in the last week alone, which speaks volumes. Now we know what you're probably thinking. Cream bronzer can smudge, melt off, drip, and is not the most longlasting, or you may be thinking it will leave you with dark streaks on your cheeks and a glaring contrast to your natural skin. But you'd be wrong. Cream bronzer has come a long way since the hey days of Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse. More Trending But a cream bronzer is not to be confused with a liquid bronzer or stick bronzer, though they all have their place and purpose in our make-up arsenal. A cream bronzer is slightly more dense than a lightweight liquid bronzer, such as Glossier's Cloud Paint. We would say a cream bronzer is a hybrid of a stick, liquid and powder bronzer in one. As bronzer aficionados we have tried and tested a whole host of cream bronzers and whittled down our absolute ride or die cream bronzers. Whether you apply with your finger tips, buff into the skin with a brush or beauty blender is entirely up to you. If you're a fan of Benefit's iconic Hoola powder bronzer then you will equally love the cream version, which delivers the same sun-drenched bronze to the cheeks. With over 1,000 glowing reviews it really is a key staple. Available in five shades, from light to deep. BUY NOW FOR £33 Arguably the most iconic cream bronzer out of all the cream bronzers. With its lightweight formula it is easy to blend on the skin, offers a velvet-soft finish and natural complexion.

This cream bronzer has been formulated with Monoï de Tahiti oil, which is nourishing and makes this easy to blend into the skin without feeling oily.

Remember Jeffrey Campbell's sky-high shoe boots? They're back a decade later!
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more First there were rumours of Topshop returning to the high street, then there was speculation bandage dresses à la Hervé Léger are making a comeback, and now Jeffrey Campbell's killer heeled shoe boots have hit the shelves once again. Anyone would think we've hopped in a time machine and landed in 2010. Gen Z may not recognise the reference, but millennials will no doubt back us when we say you haven't lived until you've ditched your smartphone in favour of your Samsung flip phone, digital camera, physical cash, Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse caked on your face, concealer lips, your boldest bodycon dress, and a pair of Jeffrey Campbell's sky-high studded heeled ankle boots, and the tightest leather jacket you could squeeze into. What a time to be alive! Now, we know nostalgiacore is rife, but never did we see the day we would be dusting off our dancing shoes in the form of the sky-high studded heeled ankle boots, especially now kitten heels are the shoes we are reaching for on a night out, and after years of wearing trainers to bars, which felt controversial for many millennials at first. Whether you are a millennial reliving the trend once again, or you're new to the heeled shoe boot trend, Jeffrey Campbell's are the cream of the crop. The iconic heeled shoe boot is back. It boasts a sleek black leather exterior, block wooden heel and synthetic sole for comfort, as well as a lace up front. The heel measures 12.7cm in height, and available in UK shoe sizes 3 to 8, though it doesn't come in half sizes. BUY NOW FOR £154 If you don't believe us, just look at Taylor Swift who was spotted earlier this year wearing a pair of Larroudé's patent block heel lace ups, which she teamed with a lace mini dress and rara skirt (another noughties reference we lived in in our teen years to under 18s club). On a late night doomscroll we stumbled across Jeffrey Campbell heels at Schuh, and had to wipe our bleary eyes to make sure we were seeing things clearly. Though, it is also available to shop from Jeffrey Campbell's website, as well as Free People. More Trending Jeffrey Campbell's Lita heels boast the same synonymous features now as the shoes did a decade or so ago. The shoes offer a staggeringly high block heel, a pointed close toe, lace up front, and reach the ankle. While some ankle boots hug the nape of the ankle, some styles rise a little higher up the ankle. Some designs have been crafted from plain leather, while others feature a studded ankle detailing, or bold design to resemble the American flag. The statement shoes can be paired with dresses, both maxi and mini length, skirts of all lengths, as well as jeans and a biker jacket. So, don't be put off by what appears to be an ankle-breaking heel height because these heeled boots kept us upright on many a sticky Oceana dance floor (much to our surprise), and are more versatile than you assume. The heels range in price from £148 to £189 at Schuh. Considering this style has made a revival, it is a worthy investment you can hand down through the generations because we believe this trend will undoubtedly make a revival again in the future. Shop Jeffrey Campbell's at Schuh now.

Waterproof makeup typically contains water-repellent ingredients like silicones and waxes that form a barrier on the skin, preventing water from breaking down the product. Many waterproof products are formulated for sensitive skin, but not all. Check the label for terms like 'hypoallergenic' or 'dermatologist-tested.' Always do a patch test before applying it to your face. Yes, but it's essential to remove it thoroughly each night to prevent clogged pores or irritation. Choose gentle formulas and use an effective makeup remover. Use an oil-based or dual-phase (oil + water) makeup remover. These break down the waterproof ingredients more effectively than water-based cleansers. Gently massage and wipe away with a soft cloth or cotton pad. Some formulas may be heavier than regular makeup. Look for non-comedogenic options (meaning they won't clog pores), especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin.

People Are Sharing The Modern Trends That Make Them Feel Ancient, And I Can Feel My Bones Cracking
We've all had those moments where we really *felt* our age. So when Reddit user Long_Resist_8910 recently asked, " What's a modern trend that makes you feel ancient?" a ton of people couldn't help but reflect. Here's what they had to say: 1. "TikTok, and I say this as an early Gen Z." 3. "When my kids say, 'Oh, this really old person came into work today and...' then I find out the person was in their mid to late 30s. I'm 49." 5. "While walking around the city center of my hometown for the first time in many years, I decided I wanted a cup of tea. I stopped in a 'diner' and was shown to a table by a guy who said, 'Just scan the table to order.' The menu was on my phone, and I had to sign up for two different services to order and pay. For a cup of tea. I felt a bazillion years old and left without ordering." — u/-maffu- 7. "The rejection of skinny jeans. I went to a bar a few weeks ago and realized my partner and I now dress like the older people there." 9. "Music. I don't know any of these people who win awards for their music. I may recognize their names occasionally, but I have no clue what they look or sound like. Only one exception because my granddaughter is a Swiftie." 10. "People who share their location or have cameras in their homes. It just gives me the ick. I would never be comfortable doing that. It's not because I do anything secret, but I'm private. I hate feeling that someone is watching me." — u/Miserable-Ad8764 11. "Mullets! All the young lads here look like '80s porn stars with their mullet and stache combo." — u/GuiltyCredit 12. "Moustaches being back in again." — u/VinnySideways 13. "I once saw a museum exhibit of a '90s bedroom as the olden days." 15. "'90s/early '00s style getting popular again, or, 'check out this retro style,' and it's space buns or something." 17. "Driving without a GPS on. Sure, I will put it on when I'm going somewhere I'm not sure of the roads or if it's a long, complicated route. But I can figure out the route by looking it up beforehand without having a GPS assist me while driving for most places." 19. "'Slay.' My stepkid has used it so much that I'm slowly giving in and replacing my usage of 'cool,' 'awesome,' and 'OK' with 'slay.' I weep." 20. "The talent of teenagers who can do professional-looking makeup when they're about 14 or 15 years old. During my teenage years, I wore Dream Matte Mousse in a shade that made me look orange. I had heavy tide lines on my jaw, blue eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, and heavy filled-in eyebrows. If I didn't wear blue mascara, it would be several coats of black. I have a severe cringe just thinking about it." — u/Beccabear3010 21. "When they play 'golden oldies' on the radio from 2002." — u/Brief-Education-8498 22. "I saw a reel where a girl was putting in a cassette tape and commented that this would give her a good understanding of late 1900s music. I almost threw up."
