BRONZE N’ BRIGHT
For the ultimate bronzed look this season, apply bronzer in a “C” shape from the contour of the cheeks, up to the temple and above the brow. Sweep along the hairline connection across the forehead. Add an unexpected twist of bright blush in orange, peach, coral or pink to the apples of the cheek. Even the most tired skin comes to life with this application.

GLAM SLAM
The return to traditional glamour is evident this season but try some fresh updates to traditional makeup applications. If you want to rock a traditional red lip, pair it with minimal makeup on the rest of the face; perhaps bronzer instead of blush and mascara only on the eyes. Another statement is replace the classic red lip with a bright or muted tone of orange or pink.
