DON’T HAVE SUN OR A BURST OF FRESH AIR? FAKE IT!
You miss the sun and the fresh breeze, but who says your face has to miss out on a healthy flush of color? Almost half of all makeup users skip them, but blush and bronzer can take you to the bright side. For cheekbones that pop and cheeks with a flush of color, blush is an absolute necessity. And to fool people into thinking you've been laying out in the sun, reach for bronzer. But don't lay it on too thick. What's the trick to natural-looking application? Read on!
HOW TO CHOOSE
The two most popular forms of blush and bronzer are cream and powder. Cream formulas are easier to control and blend but they may be too harsh for oily or sensitive skin. Powder formulas can be more sheer and applied with more precision, but they aren’t as easy to blend. Dream Mousse Blush and Dream Mousse Bronzer combine the sheerness of a powder formula with application control of a cream in an air-soft mousse formula. Expert Wear Powder Blush and Bronzer offer a range of beautifully sheer shades that stay true all day.
HOW TO FIND MY SHADE
Visit My Color Advisor to find the most flattering shades of blush and bronzer for your skin tone, and check out the shade selection suggestions below.
- For blush: What color are your cheeks after you pinch them, exercise or come in from the cold? That’s the best shade to look for in a blush since it’s closest to the natural flush of your cheeks. Your perfect shade will always blend in with your natural cheek color.
- For bronzer: Remember how your skin looked after your last sunny getaway? That’s the color you want. For the look of your most natural tan, never go more than two shades darker than your natural skin tone. In the summertime you can go slightly darker with your bronzer, but lighten up your shade in the winter so your “tan” looks more natural.
