summer beauty: try a liquid bronzer

it's summer, as you may have noticed, and bronzers are very popular. but what if you are afraid to use them?

you may be asking yourself, how do i apply this?

if you're a little scared of powder bronzer, a great way to add a glow to your skin is by using a liquid bronzer. like their powder counter-part, liquid brozers help to give yourself a just-out-in the sun glow.

these formulas can be applied with a makeup sponge, or foundation brush, and blended for a natural hint of color. mix it with your foundation for an quicker, two-in-one step, or with your face and body moisturizer for an all-over glow.

on their own, these give no coverage, and unlie a self-tanner, they do wash away at the end of the day. it sounds pretty fool-proof to me. what a great way to get your glow on!

some liquid bronzers to try:

Giorgio Armani Bronze Mania Skin Tint











Talk to the Tan by Benefit











Estee Lauder Amber Bronze Liquid for Face












have fun and be fabulous!
