SUMMER TIME............
is almost here! Let me give away some of my secrets on how to look tan without sacrificing your complexion. First is protection. I have found this wonderful SPF product, Science Pro "Sunforgettable". It's a mineral face powder with color that has spf 30. It's hypoallergenic and the best part....dry! I have enough stickiness with my moisturizer, foundation, and our Florida 98% humidity factor. I bought a shade that was a little darker than my skin tone and use it as a bronzer. I brush it all over my face, neck, and decollete. It comes in a variety of shades. Now for my favorite self tanner, "Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning". It's really good on us fair skinned girls. When applied correctly, it gives you that nice glow without making you look orange. And for you ladies out there with darker skin tones, it enhances what mother nature has already blessed you with. This product should only be used on the face, neck and chest areas. Next is makeup! One of my favorite shades of lipstick is "Hot VooDoo", by Nars. It gives your lips that sun kissed glow, and just add a little of that "Orgasm" lipgloss I suggested in my other blog and you will have one sizzling set of summer lips. For eyes, Covergirl has some wonderful bronze shadows. It's inexpensive and has great pigment. Please keep the shimmer to a minimum, concentrate on just three features, such as eyes, cheeks, and lips or face, lips, and cheekbones. Too much shine either makes your complexion look puffy, oily or flat...three horrible words in the female dictionary!
