Bronzer

Get ready to shine! A nice glow give your face a fresh and lively look for the spring! Here are some products that will make you look absolutely stunning:

Shimmer: Bare Escentuals Rose Gossamer Beauty Duo

This lightweight powder will add a soft, pink shimmer to your face and make you feel like a star! The great thing about Bare Escentuals is that it is weightless–it will not cake on, and you can even sleep in it! And remember that a little goes a long way! This powder comes with a retractable kabuki brush, which is so soft, and will give you full coverage! You can get this set for $45 (a $68 value!) here.

Luminizer: Smashbox Tokidoki Artificial Light

This limited-edition sheer luminizer works like a charm! Blend it into your foundation or body lotion to add a touch of glow, or use alone to highlight cheeks and brow bones. It has vitamins A,C & E and gingko biloba to keep your skin healthy and soft. You will look like you’re in the spotlight, even when there isn’t a light shining on you! You can get it for $22 here.

Bronze & Highlight: Benefit 10

This two-in-one bronzer and highlighter is called 10 for a reason! In just one sweep (tip: have the highlighter on one half of the brush, the bronzer on the other half, and apply with the pink side up) you can have both sculpted cheekbones and a gorgeous glow! Can you say perfect? You can get it for $26 here.

One of the unfortunate things about winter is losing that sun-kissed glow from those days at the beach last summer. A nice tan always makes everybody look more attractive, but fake-bake is not an option, because we want to keep our skin healthy, right? Bronzers can bring back that glow to your face, and if you use them the right way, you can have a nice, natural looking color! Here are some of my favorite bronzers that do not look like a “fake tan”:

i.d. bareMinerals All-Over Face Color - Warmth, $20, here.

Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Face Powder, $12.95, here.

MAC Bronzing Powder, $19.50, here.

TIPS FOR BRONZING:

• Use a big brush for a smooth application
• Highlight places such as cheekbones, forehead, and nose.
• Blend very well, especially at your jawline. Make sure that no lines are visible!
