Cheating a Holiday Tan

Despite just being back from a holiday, the expected result of 40-degree weather isn't all that evident. Actually, truth be told, I hid under an umbrella the whole time. Why? I didn't want to catch too much of a tan that I would need to get a whole new foundation colour. Silly I know, but since from the neck down I am actually quite fair-ish...I figured I can always just cheat a natural looking glow if I did feel like sporting it. Also, it really was too hot for me not to hide from the sun. I'm not a big sun-worshipper but I like the solar effect, so this way- it's a win-win! So here it is- my instant, faux-glow to cheat that post-holiday warmth. I did get quite a few compliments at work today so that's that job done!


PRODUCTS:
YSL Le Teint de Touche Èclat in BD60
YSL Touche Èclat in 4.5
Chanel Les Beiges in 30
Bourjouis Poudre Brozante in 51
MAC Cheek Colour in Pinche Me

1. Buff in a bit of foundation from the centre of the face outwards.
2. Brighten under your eyes with a peachy-toned illuminating highlighter. Also dab on the bridge of the nose, a tad on the middle of the forehead and on the cupid's bow.
3. Sweep bronzer under the cheekbones, sides of the temples, down the nose and chin. Thin layers create a more subtle, natural effect.
4. I used the Chanel Les Beiges healthy glow powder on the apples of the cheeks- almost as a light blush colour.
5. Finally, sweep the slightest veil of a warm, pinky tone blush on the apples of the cheeks for that slightly hot, warmed up rush of colour.


Try it out for yourself! Happy bronzing!
