Oh, the hot humid days of summer are still lingering, but
it looks like you're fading. No, not you. It's your summer
glow. That bronzey tan that you've worked so hard to
achieve. (And I do hope it was via a sun-less tanner.)
Oh what's a girl to do?
Fake it.
There are a million and one products out there to help
achieve that tanned skin, but not very many to keep it. So
as any good makeup artist will tell you, just fake it.
With makeup that is and a few beauty secrets added, just
for good measure.
Golden face: To keep that tanned face is the easiest. As
the nights get colder, we cover up clothes wise, so all we
have to worry about is our lovely face.
To keep the glow, dilute your bronzer or darker foundation
with moisturizer. It'll soften the color abit so you'll
still look tanned, just not as much.
Want to go to a lighter foundation color? Just go with one
that matches your skin color now, but to warm it up, sweep
a bronzer powder on the high points of the face.
Shimmering ones actually make the skin look dewy and
darker. Tops of cheeksbones, across the nose, eyelids and
the tip of the chin keep it real. And skip the forehead.
It's the first sign of a 'makeup' tan.
Want to avoid your bronzer? Then just switch to warmer
colors in your makeup routine. Any color with a orangey
brown or tan color will give the 'illusion' of tanner
skin. Try it with your blush and lipsticks. To compliment
the warmth, add a shimmering eye gloss and glossy lips.
Just the thing to remind you of that tropical vacation you
should have gone on. remember: Flushed cheeks in cherry
blushes are for winter, while bronze or orangey cheeks
keep the glow going for summer & fall.
Mix a bit of shimmer lotion and a few drops of self tanner
into your body mosturizer. Apply, blend well and wait a
few hours. Viola, a fresh shimmering body glow. One that
looks glowy and slightly tanned. Remember, we're not
looking for that bahamas tan here.
Don't need to add any color? Then just apply a shimmering
bronzer or a shimmer body lotion to your skin. The glow
will emphasize the skin making it look a tad darker, not
lighter like you would expect. When the sunlight (or
candlelight depending where you might be) hits it, your
body will look radiant.
