Summer is entering its slow burn, but that doesn't mean you can't get a golden glow of your own! This is how I do it in 10 steps:
- I started with Laura Gellar Spackle Primer in Bronze--a primer that has a built-in bronzer--and applied it to my face.
- Next, I used a luminating foundation. This one is L'Oreal Dream Match Lumi, but you can make your own luminizer here.
- To add a little color to my face, I used a bronzer--Maybelline Dream Sun. It has just the faintest bit of shimmer.
- I used this NYX blush in Copper as a highlighter, and applied it right above my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose, and a little on my forehead.
- For eyes, I used Maybelline Eye Studio in Copper Chic. I put the gold shade all over the lid. The copper shade was just in the center of the lid, and the brown shade in my crease.
- I lined my waterline with the Gold Mine Urban Decay liner.
- I then lined my bottom lashes with Urban Decay Smog.
- Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara was applied on my lashes for those sexy, bedroom eyes.
- On my cheeks and lips, I added NYX lipstick in Margarita.
- For just a little more glow on my legs, I used NUXE dry shimmer oil.

You look fab, Elle! I must admit that I'm pretty pale--so, these tips are very useful. I have been using a Lancome blusher as of late that's bringing a bit of glow to my cheeks. :) Have a fab day! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteYou look great with the golden glow, Elle:)
ReplyDeleteI always opt for pale all year round...but that's mostly because I tried to bronze one year and it turned out terribly. I needed you back then because these tips sound great!

Oooh thanks for this! I love the bronzed look so extra tips are always appreciated! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I love the Loreal Lumi foundation and I usually use that a long with a bit of bronzer for a golden glow.
ReplyDeleteGreat look! I wear a little powder bronzer sometimes, but otherwise just stick with my fair skin.
ReplyDeleteVery cute look! I have trouble with glowy products because I have oily skin so they make me feel like I look more oily. But I like how it makes your face look brighter in a way.

ReplyDeleteI've never tried a luminizer, but I cannot go without bronzer. I go totally crazy if I forget it!
ReplyDeleteI love Spackle! That is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely post. I adore the golden glow. But I feel you look better in it, because all the gold and light browns really play up your eyes.
