Summer is the perfect time to debut your glow. Be it a byproduct of the beach or from a bottle, getting a perfectly natural-looking bronze requires a delicate balance of products. But while we love a radiant look, sometimes your best bet is to opt for luminous products that sidestep the OTT shine of traditional highlighters in favor for a pared-down sun-kissed style. Luckily, there are a few great non-highlighter buys that mimic a day spent outdoors. Scroll down to see a few of our fave ways to get your glow on minus a highlighter.
