Now that I have gone through moisturizers, foundations, and primer I move on to two of my favorite products of all time. With the risk of sounding like Olivia from Jerseylicious, I LOVE BRONZER, actually bronzer is my second BFF, Lynn is my first of course!!! I love to be tan whether it comes from a bottle, bed, backyard, or compact! As you know from my moisturizer I use my Clarins self tanner on my face to keep me tan.
After my foundation and pressed powder there are a few bronzers that I go to on a regular basis.
My final face product is blush. The color that I choose really just depends on the mood I am in. I have a MAC palette with 6 blushes that I go to most. This is pictured below and colors are from left to right - Breath Of Plum, Prism, Peach Twist, Mocha, Pinch Me, and Margin. If I had to choose my favorite, can't live without blush from this palette it would be Peach Twist. It really is amazing.
After my foundation and pressed powder there are a few bronzers that I go to on a regular basis.
1 - Diorskin Nude in #050 Cafe Moka - This is pictured below and I have been using it since November. It has a powder foundation (on bottom), bronzer (in the middle), and highlighter (top). I use these blended together as a highlighter and contour on my cheekbones. This is a wonderful product that I sometimes use to touch up with during the day. When I do this I actually use the brush that it comes with. I think this is the first time that I have ever used a brush that comes with a compact. It is nice to contour with and too pick out the individual colors.
2 - Nars Bronzer in Casino - This has become my holy grail bronzer! This is a recommendation from Dara at http://belledujournewyorkcity.blogspot.com/. I have been following her blog and watching her YouTube videos for quite some time. I love her style! This bronzer works well on my dark skin. This never looks orange or fake. I also like that it has a slight shimmer but you will not look like a shiny little disco ball. As you can see from the picture below I have hit pan so will need a back up soon!
Tip - For darker skin tones Casino is your color and for lighter skin tones try Nars Laguna. Laguna is a huge favorite with YouTube gurus who like a more natural looking bronzer. Laguna was also in Sephora's top bronzer display. A fiber optic brush makes the bronzer go on lighter and more even. When I use my regular brushes it seems to have a heavier coverage that is harder to blend.
These are my go to products of the moment. I guess in the case of bronzer and blush, this case is SOLVED! Next up - lip liner, lip gloss, and lip stick!!!
