Bronzer Season

Hello everyone! I know I've been MIA for a while, but life has been really busy lately and I just haven't had the energy to deal with pictures. Not to mention I just had no inspiration on what to blog about....until now.

The weather is getting warmer. The days are getting longer. You know what that means! Summer is *almost* here! So with bronzed skin in the forecast...I present to you my alarmingly numerous bronzer products!


And a few swatches (Not all the bronzers are swatched).....
Top to bottom: Elf blush/bronzer duo, BB aruba illuminating bronzer, EL Bronze goddess soft shimmer bronzer, Korres monoi oil bronzer 02, MAC sunny by nature msf, Guerlain brunette 02 bronzer.

Quick how to on applying bronzer. I like to do the reverse 3 method.

1. swirl brush around on product
2. starting at forhead near temple area follow the shape of your face down towards your cheekbones (I like to apply bronzer a little below my cheekbones as opposed to on top of my cheekbones.)
3. Then follow the contours of your face down to under your jaw line.
4. Take any remaining product and do a swipe down my nose, a little on the middle of my forehead and a swipe on my chin...basically anywhere the sun hits. Be sure not to over apply to these areas or else you will look a little sun burnt.

Moi with BB aruba bronzer on. Ignore the redness around my nose...I'm suffering from a cold. :(
