Plus-Size Leggings, Best Bronzers, and Nordstrom’s Best Beauty Deals

Saie Beauty Sun Melt
Saie’s balm bronzer quickly became a favorite, and for good reason. Not only does it have a decent color range, offering four shades for light to dark skin tones, but the balm formula is easy to apply and gives you a radiant glow on top of your newly bronzed skin. If you prefer a dewier finish and layering on cream products, then this is the one for you. If you have oily skin, skip it.

MAC Bronzing Powder
Another beauty classic. M.A.C’s warm-toned matte bronzers have just a hint of shimmer and are easy to layer. However, I prefer the slight shimmer of the radiant version because it also serves as a highlighter.

Makeup by Mario Transforming Skin Perfector
While Makeup by Mario’s bronzer is a great option I love to recommend the brand’s Softsculpt Perfector which is more of a multi-tasker that can also bronze, highlight, and add radiance Just make sure you grab the right shade and keep it light.

Girlfriend Collective Compressive High-Rise Leggings
Tyler McCall, writer and former editor-in-chief of Fashionista, McCall is a huge fan of these: “These keep everything feeling secure, and they’re thick — you will never once have the issue of bending over and having something go see-through — but they’re also very comfortable. The waistband is wide enough that it won’t roll or dig, and they always have the best colors. Plus, they’re made out of recycled water bottles, and when you’re done with them, you can send them back in for upcycling!” McCall’s rave review is just one of more than 17,000 on the site.

Skims Cotton Rib Thermal Legging
These popular ribbed leggings have more than 1,500 reviews and nail the cozy-chic vibe. They hug your body yet are still breathable for those lazy stay-at-home days.

Roya Leggings 27 Inch
Cut contributor Sarah Caldwell admits that these are see-through when you bend over, but she insists the comfort makes up for it. “I actually think these did the best job of hugging my calves and making them look strong,” she says. “They make my butt look high and tight, and I like how long they are, too, so that they could pass for thick tights with a boot.” They come in two lengths — 23 and 27 inches — and you can get them with or without pockets so you have plenty of options.

Kiehl’s Hydrate All Day Starter
Kiehl’s has so many tried-and-true products that treat a wide variety of skin types and concerns — and this set includes two of the brand’s all-time best formulas: the gentle yet effective Ultra Facial Cleanser and the cult-favorite Ultra Face Cream that offers long-lasting hydration.

Tom Ford Sunkissed Soleil Look Set
Get your money’s worth with this kit of Tom Ford summer essentials, including the best-selling Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil, a highlighter and blush duo, and a pearlescent lip balm.

NARS Blush Duo
You can’t go wrong with NARS Orgasm. Not only is it the perfect peachy pink blush that flatters a wide range of skin tones, but it also features tiny gold flecks that create a lit-from-within glow.
