Flawless Faux Tan : Summer Bronze Goddess Glow

Summer is all about having "The Glow", below I have broke down three simple steps to making sure you have a FLAWLESS FAUX TAN. 

1. Skin Prep: Exfoliate -  Orico London  SKIN JIVE Revving Body Exfoliator ($31) This body exfoliator gently exfoliates the skin of city pollutants to promote elasticity and radiance.  The texture of this product is not overly grainy like typical exfoliators which suprised me actually, but I loved the way my skin felt after using this - extremely smooth. 
2. Apply Body Tanner -  Tarte Cosmetics Brazilliance™ Skin Rejuvenating Maracuja Self Tanner ($39) Infused with the amazing Maracuja this self tanner has proven to give one of the most natural-looking results.  It also comes with a mitt to increase the ease of application.  
3. Color Correction -  Bronze Buffer Sponge ($8) This sponge was made specifically to clean any mistakes when tanning from nails, streaking , to blotchiness.  Now there is no reason why your tan can not look effortless when you have a Bronze Buffer available to use.  

Maintaining your Summer Bronze Goddess Glow this summer is so easy  -  Happy Bronzing !!

OMG .. where do I start ? First I'd like to confess that I honestly wear bronzer pretty much all year round. I am so looking forward to the rising temperatures ( potential trips) that will allow me to have a natural glow so that my glow will be taken to the NEXT level.  Until then,  I will be relying on a few cool products ( listed above) to give me that extra OOMF.  What I will say is that there is amazing products in every price bracket  from low $14.99 Sleek Face Form  to high $49.50 Mally Shimmer, Shape and Glow.  One key word of advice to Tarte Cosmetics ( I love the brand) ,  The Sculptor Contouring Face Slenderizer is amazing - but only if you are Fair to Medium, so me being a Deep tone this does not work for me. PLEASE make this in a darker shade!  For us Darker gals,  BECCA  Perfect Skin Mineral Foundation in Cacao and Sienna will give you that Contour/ Bronze you want , and Sleek Face Form in Dark and Medium will work great too.  A subtle hint of light around the eyes is key, and I love the 3D Liquid Lustre in Diamond and Gold will work wonders!  I love the fun vibrant shades in both afterGlow and SummerGlow Eye Shadow Palettes these shades will really compliment a bronzed skin tone.  I love the idea of adding a hint of bronzed highlight to other parts of the body since we will be showing a little bit more skin.  Laura Geller Baked Body Frosting in Tahitian Glow will be a perfect addition to your routine. So with that said, go out there and get the GLOW !
