Shoot For the Bronzer

It's summer and a great part of summer is a nice healthy tanned look.  One of the best ways you can get it is with a good bronzer  that is not too light or dark for your skin tone.   Bronzers can help you add a healthy glow or even help you contour your face.  
For this time of year I honestly recommend them to add that glow.  There are two proper ways to apply bronzer, the first (and best in my opinion) is to start off with applying it to the apples of your cheeks and work your way to your temples.  After you have applied it there you can continue on applying to spots on your face where the sun naturally hits more (lightly on your nose, chin, and forehead).   The second way of applying your bronzer is a little similar, you can start at the top of your forehead (near your hairline) and sweep down in a "C" shape to your cheeks, and repeat on the other side.  Remember if you apply too much or use too dark of a shade you could be in the next casting session for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as an Um-pa Lumpa.  
This summer I have found a few bronzers I am in love with, the one I wear almost every day being Lorac's TANtalizer Baked Bronzer,












but of course I am still in love with Urban Decay's Baked Bronzer Baked ,












and a third recomendation I would have to make is Tarte's Mineral Powder Matte Waterproof Bronzer (amazing if you want to go to the beach or pool on these hot days!!!!)!

  2. If you really want a good color and shimmer combined the Lorac Tantalizer is amazing! If you don't want to spend much, it can cost upward to $30+ for the full size, go into your local ULTA store they have a mini version of it for less than $10. Plus do not forget JustMe, follow the blog and shoot me an email at klbirchard85@gmail.com and you'll be entered into the drawing for tomorrow! And keep your eyes open for more fun contests with great prizes!
