The Perfect Nude Look for Beach

For beach day, you want to look glamorous without all the stress. A nude, monochromatic look for the beach is perfect!

First, let us focus on skin! Apply a moisturizer and a bb cream. A bb cream contains SPF that will protect you from the sun.

Next, highlight the cheeks and all other highpoints on the face: above the brow bone, chin, and bridge of the nose. For a little more pizazz, apply highlight to your collarbones. I recommend the Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Highlight.

After that, apply your favorite bronzer to achieve that sunkissed look. Be pretty liberal with the bronzer; hit the hollows of cheeks, forehead, and neck. You are not done applying quite yet. Take a small eyeshadow brush and blend some bronzer in the creases of your eyelids. Then, take your highlight and apply some to the crease. These two steps will make your eyes pop but still look natural.

Lastly, grab your favorite clear gloss and apply. One of my personal favorites is the Essence High Shine Lipshine.
