How to get a sun kissed glow in simple steps for a natural-looking glow.
Test it: select a matte bronzer that’s slightly yellow. For fair skin, pick the lightest hsade in the range. For medium skin, go with the middle colour, and of course, the deepest shade for dark skin. Test it on your jaw line; it should look golden.
Prep skin: Smoothe on your regular foundation where needed, and apply concealer under the eyes and on blemishes. If you have oily skin, then dust translucent powder on the shiny areas to keep the bronzer from looking too dark in those spots.
Bronze: Dip a medium-sized powder brush in the bronzer and tap off the excess. In small, circular motions, dust your jaw line and hairline. Dip the brush again, tap it, and sweep it on your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the forehead and chin.
Blend: Dust what’s left on the brush all over your neck, then tap the brush to get rid of any remaining powder. Go back over the bronzed areas, swirling the brush over any visible edges of colour to blend into the skin.
Add blush: sweep a bright rosy powder blush on the apples of cheeks – this keeps the bronzer from looking flat. The rest of your makeup should be subtle: brown eyeliner, gold or bronze shadow on lids and a sheer nude or light pink lip colour.
