SUMMER GODDESS
by Carla Kelly
No sun? No matter. Discover my best bronzers here, to add radiance to your
complexion and enhance your natural skin tone. The key to getting that perfect
faux glow is not just having a great bronzer, it's knowing how to apply it as well.
Here are my best application tips, as well as advice on picking the best bronzer
for your skin tone.
You should use a bronzer to look healthier and sun-kissed, not 'bronze so you
shouldn't pick a colour that is more than one shade darker than your natural skin
colour. If you're fair skinned, look for a sheer bronzer with peach tones. Red or
brown shades will make you look orange and dirty. When applying bronzer, use a
big, fluffy brush and tap off any excess product before swiping it on your face and
brush lightly onto the areas of the face upon which the sun would naturally fall.
Concentrate most of the colour across your forehead, your temples and along the
cheekbones. Then without adding any more product to your brush, lightly brush
across your nose and chin. Don't forget to apply and blend bronzer down your
neck. If your hair is up in a ponytail, you should also put a little around your ears.
All products are available to purchase instore at Beauty Bazaar, Harvey Nichols
