Holiday Edition: The Bronzed Beach Babe Glow.
26.8.14
Whenever I'm on the beach I want to make sure that I have a minimal effort but maximum effect bronzed beach glow with simple and easy mermaid waves to match. These four products have been the absolute key to achieving this simple but put together look.
Now I don't tend to bother with foundation or concealer when visiting the beach as the sun will just cause you to sweat which inevitably will make you:
A. look like a hot sweaty melted mess.
B. block your pores causing breakouts.
But aswell as this I think that it is important to avoid wearing foundation and concealer as much as possible on holiday to give your skin the opportunity to breath.
So here we have it a step by step guide to beautiful bronzed beach skin:
Step 1: Dust NARS Laguna bronzer £27 onto cheekbones, forehead and temples blend with any bronzing or contour brush. I usually use the Real Techniques contour brush from the Core Collection.
Step 2:Take Topshop Glow highlighter in Polish £9 and dab on top of cheekbones, underneath both eyebrows and onto cupids bow then blend in using your fingers.
Step 3: Apply a thin layer of mascara to top and bottom lashes to add definition. I love to use the new Volume Million Lashes So Couture by L'Oreal £10.99.
Step 4: Apply a small amount of lip balm to give lips moisure and a subtle shine.
Step 5: Spray salt spray into your hair to give yourself those natural beachy waves. My current favourite product is the got2b Beach Matt Texturizing Salt Spray £2.66 as it does the job with no added complications!
This routine has worked amazingly for me this summer and although now summer is slowly coming to an end I am aiming to use these products to keep me looking bronzed for as long as physically possible.
What have been your summer staples?
