Deborah and Tiyana here.

We love how a bronzed glow makes everyone look more rested, happier and younger. But of course we would be bad beauty editors if we told you to go bake in the sun. Instead, we'll take this chance to share our top 10 fake-it products that will let you channel your inner Brazilian beach babe while remaining smart and sun-protected. So, go ahead, glow. Here are our favourites:

1. Sephora Colourful palette in Kiss from...
This eyeshadow palette gives a full range of gilded shades from deep and dark to only slightly metallic so you have both daytime and night-time makeup options. The darker shades can also be used as liners to intensify looks. Price: $29

2. L'Oreal Nail Polish in Goldy Locks
We love how bronze becomes a sexy understated pedicure alternative to our favourite reds, corals and navy blues. Price: $6

3. Red Earth Bronzing Potion
This is a terrifically blendable bronzed fluid that gives your cheeks and eyelids a pearly glow, not to mention bare shoulders or sleek legs. Price: $28

4. Clarins Summer Fever Sun Palette
Find the fattest powder brush possible and swirl it around in this bronzed powder, which by the way, comes beautifully embossed with a sunflower. Then dust it across your cheekbones, nose shoulders and anywhere else the sun naturally hits. You'll instantly look like you were soaking up the rays all weekend. Price: $40

5. Revlon SPF 15 Lipgloss in Toast to Shine
Wear this super sheer and shimmery gloss on bare lips for a sexy nude look or layer it over your everyday lipstick for added dimension and glamour. Price: $10
