Products and Tools that can be used to achieve this look:

-NYX eye shadow in Golden

-Benefit Hoola Natural Bronzing Powder

-Loreal Voluminous Mascara

-Black Velvet Apricot Lip Balm 

A tinted moisturizer and a self tanning gel (if needed) is the way to go for this look.  A tinted moisturizer provides a light weight formula for the summer’s heat and will help create a healthy glow on your skin, while a self tanning gel will help create a natural tan without having to bake all day in the sun.

Step 1:  Start off by exfoliating your face. This will remove any dry skin

Step 2: If needed, apply a self tanning gel (2- 3 days in advance).  This will ensure that you maintain your new tan.

Step 3: Apply tinted moisturizer with a foundation brush to your entire face.

Step 4:  Define your cheekbones. Lightly dust a matte bronzer in a back and forth motion from the apple of your cheeks to your ears.  Be sure to blend so that you obtain a seamless finish. Using a contour brush would do the trick!

Step 5:  Make those eyes pop by applying a gold metallic eye shadow on your entire eye lid and the inner corners of your eyes.  Top it off with lengthening mascara.

Step 6:  You can either play it safe by adding a nice moisturizing lip balm or be fun & flirty and rock a bold lip!  Hot pink, red or a coral color would be a nice touch.

FAB TIPS TO REMEMBER:

- Although we are creating a bronzed look, a little goes a long way when it comes to bronzers. Be light handed when applying it the first time. You can always add more if needed

- As much as I love Laura Mercier Tinted moisturizer, I know that it’s a little on the expensive side. You can create a tinted moisturizer right at home by mixing a lightweight moisturizer and foundation.  Cool right!? Cheap and effective.

- Any skin tone can create this look! For darker skin, try using a crème blush instead of a bronzer.
