Summer Makeup Trends — Look #2 Bronzed Beauty

I love the summer makeup trend that is all about bronzed beauty.  In fact, the summer look of a bronzed face is body is probably one of the easiest to attain due the abundance of bronzers on the market.  Whether you have fair skin or have dark skin, you can have a gorgeous bronzed and beautiful look for summer. Light or dark, your beauty can be enhanced with just a touch of bronzer.  Apply bronzer on the places where the sun naturally hits the face — cheeks, across the forehead, accross the nose and chin.  Don’t forget the eyelids and tops of ears!

Add a bronze glow to your body by incorporating a bronzing lotion or bronzing body moisturizer for the head-to-toe bronzed beauty.  This summer trend of bronzed beauty look will certainly have you turning heads!

Best Bronzers for Brown Skin

5 Ways to Bronze

Summer bronzers are just a click away.  Look your bronzed best with adding a touch of bronze to face, cheek, lips or body. Here are my favorite bronzers that work for darker skins and lighter skins. 

1.  All over liquid face bronzers

Origins Sunny Disposition® Liquid Bronzer  For a summery glow all year round 1 0z $20 One shade fits all — lighter skins need less.

HOW TO USE: Sunny Disposition™ can be worn alone or over/under foundation to give an overall summer glow. Or, use on cheeks, nose, and above the brow to highlight skin the way the sun would. 

Bobbi Brown All Over Bronzing Gel SPF 15 Bobbi’s unique gel-based bronzer instantly gives the face a healthy, natural-looking glow with the added benefit of sun protection. 2 shades accommodate all skins from light to dark. 1.7 oz $28

HOW TO USE:  Apply to face, one area at a time, blending quickly and evenly. Wash hands immediately after applying. To remove from face, simply use your regular cleanser. Not a self-tanner, so it washes off easily like other makeup.
