Bronzer Basics

Deep down we know that pale, porcelain skin is just as pretty as a sun-kissed glow, but cue summer and it is hard to stay away from those tempting sun rays. So the real question arises: How can we achieve the look without the potential for sun damage or worse? Ladies, allow us to introduce you to the faux glow using your trusted friend, bronzer.

Get the Look

1. Apply a copper eye shadow across the eyelid, from the lash line to the top of the crease. Blend a darker brown shadow into the crease with an eye shadow blender brush.
Product Pick: Cocoa Cashmere & Espresso Eye Shadows.

2. Using a dark brown eye shadow, line your upper and lower lash lines. Smoke out the liner a little with a smudger so the line blends seamlessly into the lid. Finish the eyes with a black mascara.
Product Pick: Lasting Creme Eyeliner in Coffee & Fat Lash Mascara.

3. Convenient that the third step here is to follow the number 3. When applying bronzer, you want to use a bronzer brush to dust the number three on both sides of your face. Think of it similar to contouring, and apply bronzer to the areas on your face shadows naturally fall. Start at the top, sweep down near your temple, in right under your cheekbone and then back down on the outer end of your jawline.

4. Since you applied bronzer only toward the bottom of your cheekbone, add a rosy glow by dusting blush to the apples of the cheeks. Make sure you blend the blush and bronzer well so there aren’t any lines or inconsistency between the two.
Product Pick: Purely Mineral Cheeks in Coy.

5. A shimmery liquid beautifully highlights the face. It can be mixed with any foundation for soft, all-over radiance, or used to highlight specific areas such as brow bones, cheekbones, bridge of nose or wherever you want a light catching accent.
Product Pick: Liquid Shimmer

6. To complete the look, use a shimmery neutral lip gloss.
Product Pick: Lip Polish in Diamond Diva. Delivering 100-watt shine, this creamy lip gloss in fun, fashionable shades provides intense luster with hydrating benefits. It glides on smoothly and evenly with a brush applicator and is long wearing and anti-feathering.
