Bare Escentuals Bronzer
Although we all know too much sun is a bad thing, we still covet the golden glow of a summer tan. There's just something undeniably appealing about skin that has a healthy hue. To keep your tan without sacrificing your skin, fake it with bronzing products that mimic the sun's effects. Once you learn to use your bronzer correctly, it can become your best friend - and constant companion - this summer. Follow these easy bronzing guidelines to safely maintain your sun goddess status.
When choosing a bronzer, make sure it doesn't appear too orange or frosted. A little shimmer goes a long way; too much shimmer can make skin look unnatural and harsh, especially mature skin. Never go more than two shades darker than your natural skin tone; bronzers are meant to warm your skin, not color it.
Keep your makeup simple. If you are using a bronzer, don't apply a coppery eye shadow and lipstick. You don't want your entire face awash in a sea of bronze. Instead opt for contrasts that enhance skin tone. Simplify eye makeup with a warm brown or black liner and a few coats of mascara. On your lips, use sheer, clear colors such as corals, reds or russets.
