How To: Sun-Kissed Glow

How was your weekend? Were you able to get away to the beach? Lake? Pool? Regardless, you'll be able to fake that sun-kissed glow and give the illusion you were tanning in some exotic locale. And you'll only need two products! Now pour a tropical drink (umbrella optional) and away we go (no sunscreen needed):

Y O U ' L L  N E E D:

• Bright pink blush
• Bronzer
• Blush brush and/or bronzer brush

M E T H O D:

• Do you have a really bright blush that you never wear? Maybe it came in a palette or maybe it was a gift? Grab a super pink, practically florescent blush.

• Brush the blush onto where you'd normally place your highlighter--above cheekbones and a horizontal stripe in the middle of the nose. Yes, it will look crazy, but we're gonna fix that! Check out my highlighter how to here to show the regular uses of highlighters.

• Next, take your favorite bronzer, tap off the excess, and brush into your cheekbones, where blush normally goes. To see how I regularly use bronzer & drugstore bronzer picks, check out my Bronzer How To.

It smells like chocolate and is my favorite high-end bronzer. 

They have a Milk Chocolate version if your skin is lighter.

• Now this is the important part: blend! Blend the bronzer up to meet the blush, and little beyond. And then blend the blush down to the bronzer. 
• The result will be cheeks that have been kissed by the sun with the faintest pink and a bronzed glow. Try it!
