Sun Kissed Beauty: 8 Ways To Get The Look

 

Being kissed by the sun sounds so romantic. Just a touch of color where the sun naturally hits your face, is such a healthy look. It's easy to achieve if you have the right products. Any of these 8 bronzers will give you that sun kissed glow without the harmful rays.

Jones Road Miracle Balm

This is a product that I still have not tried, but I want to do so ASP. The color shown here is Magic Hour, which is a cool sheer bronze with a bit of silver shimmer. You might want to also try Happy Hour. It's a bit lighter.  #cleanbeauty

James Read Endless Summer Self Glow

I do love a faux tan, and I use it often. My favorite is St. Tropez. It's great, but I cringe to think of the toxins in that product. So I am glad to know about this self tanner.  It's made with plant based ingredients. It's really a moisturizer that gives you a natural sun kissed look on day one, and a bronzed radiance by day two. Clean Beauty.

Mask Makeup: It's All About The Eyes

 Now that two thirds of our faces are covered by wearing masks,  we really need to do a little something with our eyes.  Since no one sees our smile, it is time to learn how to" smize." That's Tara Banks term for smiling with your eyes.  So let's all mask up, and take a little time to make our peepers pop. Here are 23 products that will get the job done.

Mid Nineties Blues & Greens

An eyeshadow palette  in blues and greens is the base of this look. You can achieve the look with Huda Beauty's Sapphire Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette, but the Ace Beaute Oceanic Palette is good, as well. Fenty Beauty Flypencil in the shade " Cuz I'm Black" was used to line the eyes. "It Cosmetics Tightline 3 in one Eyeliner, Primer, Mascara.

Glossy Eyes

 This look begins with Chanel's Ombre Premiere Longwear Powder Eyeshadow in Talpa (its so pretty!) Next comes a waterproof taupe eye pencil. Sephora's  12 Hour Contour Eyeliner in "filtering game." was etched along her lower waterlines. By the way, it is only $7.  To get the glossy look, try Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream all over your lids.  Smooth it out with your fingertip. Finish with a Waterproof Mascara. I use two ~ Too Faced Better Than Sex and MAC Cosmetics Extreme Dimension. 

Chromaluxe Highlighter

Transform any part of your look with Chromaluxe Hi-Lite Cream in Pale Gold 002.  So pretty for face and eyes.

I really do love a few of her products. Used here is  Trish's Intense Gel Liner. It still is a clean look but with the eye more defined. Also create a triangle of light under your eye with her "Instant Eye Lift."  It is one of my desert island products.
