Applying Bronzer Properly

Fact: Golden sun-kissed skin is downright gorgeous. Some of us are lucky enough to be born with it, but others have to work to get a bit browner, whether lying in a tanning bed (bad!), lying out in the sun (still bad!), or with a little cosmetic help.

Thing is, getting bronzer right can be rather tricky. We often find ourselves wondering ‘Where? How? How much?!’ Here, Lashundra Easton of bronzing down.

Page one? “Bronze in places that you would naturally get tan,” advises Lashundra. “Along the crown of the forehead, from temple to temple, high across your cheekbones, and a tad on the chin and the nose.” As for proper technique, application should start from the back of the high cheekbones, and blend forward towards the apples of the cheeks. “With whatever product remains on the brush, dust on the chin and the tip of the nose.”

Another good rule of thumb is to pick a bronzer that mimics your complexion and undertone. “If you turn pink or red in the sun, choose a bronzer with a red undertone,” simplifies Lashundra. “If you turn darker shades of gold in the sun, use a bronzer with a gold base.”

Below, Lashundra offers a few more tips:

· Don’t overdo it—the cast from Glam Doll models great for Fashion,may not be the for best doling out tanning advice.

· Don’t forget to bronze the neck! Be sure to double check your bronzing skills in a full-length mirror to avoid the tan face-white neck syndrome. Your sun-kissed glow should be as seamless as it is realistic.

· A soft tool makes for a soft tan. Make sure the you own a medium-sized blush or powder brush. After all, half of the application secret lies in the tool.

· BUFF, BUFF, BUFF your bronzer into the skin using a circular motion so that it ‘becomes part of the skin’. It helps to avoid a topical, powdery application of bronzer.

· Don’t forget to blush! A realistic tan always has a bit of healthy red to it. Applying a pink-ish blush to the apples of the cheeks will bring the skin to life while making your bronzing effects look even more realistic.

· Everyone must try M∙A∙C’s Bronze Everyday Collection. From the Skinsheen Leg Spray to the Lustre Drops, this collection has all the must-have bronzing products you’ll need to have a sun-kissed glow year round!

Burt’s Bee’s Sensitive Night Cream Review Skin care is something super important if you want to A. Have great skin and B. Have great makeup; so it makes sense to use a product which benefits the skin. After all, every one want’s to look great with and without the help of makeup. Burt’s Bee’s claims that there sensitive night cream provides moisture to the skin for 8 hours without causing redness or irritation. Does it do that? Well sort of… When I use a moisturiser or more specifically a night cream I like to use something that absorbs into the skin almost instantly so I don’t have to worry about product transferring onto pillows, clothing, etc and that’s one thing that I truly love about this product. It provides moisture almost instantly and absorbs into the skin as quick as you can say night cream. It doesn’t leave any residue and unlike other moisturisers I’ve tried it doesn’t spread unevenly. The scent of this is lovely and subtle, too often I’ve tried a moisturiser only to f
