As summer season is heating up and skin is affecting by the sun kissed glow, it is time to break out the bronzer. Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Louise Roe and Olivia Palermo were the personalities who go for a summary glow this week and they keep looking natural with a smoky eye and neutral lip.
The Bronzed Goddess
If your problem is not solved then this is a look that everyone with the help of make-up artist Kay Montano, can achieve, who also explains how to fake it with the ‘Bo Derek meets Gisele in Rio’ look she created for the Issa London S/S 2012 show:
Bronze
- Use Mymix Foundation in such a shade which is suitable for your skintone – do not go darker!
- ModeCo Airbrush Luminizer sprayed on the face or Revlon Skinlights Face Illuminator Loose Powder used with a big blush brush for a blown-out, mixed effect are both perfect to highlight the tops of cheekbones and the temples.
- I used Nars Bronzing Powder Laguna to shade, contour and sun-kiss the girls then applied a clear raspberry cheek stain. Try Tarte cheek stain in Sheer Berry Rose.
- For the eyes I used Chanel Le Crayon Khol in Ambre smudged deep into the lashes and on the inner rim of the eye. Then I used Chanel Illusion D’Ombres in Embloui to create a smudgy, soft finish and thickened eyelashes with Chanel Inimitable Mascara in Black.
- Eyebrows were brushed up with Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream.
- The t-zone was mattified with a brush of Jurlique Rose Silk Finishing Powder.
- And finally I applied clear lip balm or Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Beige Pink.
That is a very good tip especially to those fresh to the biosphere.
