Even through a thick layer of SPF 50, my inner bronze goddess always comes out during the summer. She appears in my many freckles, my frequent sunburn and the blonde streaks in my hair that pop out whenever the sun hits me. Unlike my lobster tendencies, this Fashionista actually does becomes a bronze goddess in the summer, her gorgeous olive complexion browning beautifully in the summer months. Her beauty look is perfect for summer, as she is focusing on warm tones, simple application and letting her natural glow shine through.
The “minimalist” look is always on trend and is perfect for hot summer nights when you just can’t be bothered to put together an outfit. Her black jumpsuit and wedges combo is timeless, chic and lets her gorgeous hair and contagious smile be the focal points of the look. Choosing to highlight her naturally curly hair, this Fashionista uses a cone shaped curling iron to achieve her beachy waves and relaxed hairstyle. Don’t want to face the heat? Throw your hair in Princess Leia style buns or braids overnight to achieve a similar tousled and casual effect.
This beautiful Fashionista doesn’t like applying, wearing or dealing with makeup so this minimal makeup approach is perfect for her. It is a no fuss look that highlights her beautiful eyes and delicate features without any effort or thick layers of makeup that clog up your skin. Some models and makeup artists have been known to use Vaseline on the skin to achieve a natural looking glow, but this Fashionista seems to radiate from within and doesn’t need any jelly to shine bright. A layer of mascara, dash of eye shadow and a few carefully placed swipes of bronzer and blush are all she needs to complete this look.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? To achieve this warm summer glow, add a little bit of bronzer (matte or shimmer) to your cheeks, forehead, nose and anywhere else the sun naturally hits your face. Adding a light touch of peach or coral blush to the apples of your cheeks also warms up your complexion. A summer glow isn’t complete without the subtle use of highlighter applied to the top of your cheekbones and nose.
