Sephora Duo BronzerMultitasking bronzers are everywhere this summer, and Sephora has a new one that you have to check out! The Duo Bronzer is a creamy powder with 2 shades–one for bronzing and one for highlighting. Each shade can work on its own or together to compliment your skin and give you a gorgeous, sun-kissed glow!

The bronze shade is light with a hint of shimmer, so you can use a touch of it for a sheer glow, or layer it on for more drama! It can be used on the lids, cheeks, shoulders, and décolleté to give you a pretty, bronze look. The soft golden highlighter can be used on the tops of cheekbones, the brow bones, and the center of lips to create the illusion of fuller lips! You can also take a big brush (Powder Brush - Jumbo, $5.99) and sweep it in both shades at once and apply to your whole face, so you can have a soft, shimmery radiance! You can get the duo bronzer for $16 here.

Juicy Couture Beachy Bronzer

Juicy Couture Beachy BronzerI was incredibly impressed by the Juicy Couture Fragrance Line that came out last fall, so I’m sure the new Juicy Couture Beachy Bronzer will be no different. Even the packaging looks like royalty!

For those of you who want to skip the soft glow and jump right to the deep tan–this is it! This shimmering bronzer can be used on your face and body to give you a gorgeous, sexy tan. The compact is so adorable too–it has the signature Juicy Couture crest on it! I love the fact that this bronzer looks brown.

Daily Fashion Tip: Natural Glow

Sugar Tropic Tan Blush/Bronzer DuoTo achieve a natural, sun-kissed glow, apply bronzer over blush (as opposed to blush over bronzer). This blends the color evenly to give you a more flawless look! Try it with Sugar Tropic Tan Blush/Bronzer Duo [$25], to get the perfect color!

Tip: With a big brush (Powder Brush - Jumbo, $5.99), sweep blush on cheekbones, and lightly on forehead, nose, and chin. Then, apply bronzer all over, and blend well!
