You just glide this over your skin where you want a sun kissed glow. I used the 'Black Stockings' which is for darker complexions but I don't think it's limited to darker skin. Lush also offers 'Silk Stockings' with a pink tone for lighter complexions giving a natural look. They have a "Shimmy Shimmy"-pinky bronze glow too. Black stockings has a chocolate scent with sort of a licorice hint. It smells yummy but can be an overpowering scent after a while. It works like magic giving me a shimmery bronze glow. It fades after a couple hours but leaves a shimmer. The shea butter moisturizes my skin. Great product. To find the right color for yourself, they have testers in stores.
