Get A Summer Glow
Filed Under Blog, Fashion, Makeup, Seasonal |
Is the tan passee? The question raised in the May issue of Vogue is reflective of the trend brought on by all the new gradual self tanners. Pasee or not, what’s in is a glow. Forget your dark tanners and focus on something that’s more you, you with a glow that is. Take your natural color and just turn it up a notch. You know you look good like this! This trend is so complementary to almost any time of life. If you are starting to show a few lines or wrinkles this look will help reflect light, whereas a darker tan will actually accentuate wrinkles by causing shadows. If you are not yet to that time of life when those pesky lines appear then this look will just give you a healthy glow, like the goddess you are.
To create the new look you can either mix a little bronzed illuminator with your face moisturizer or body lotion, or use your best gradual self tanner. Don’t forget to exfoliate first! The summer glow looks gorgeous with summer’s bright makeup palettes. Try a peacock green eye or a little navy blue mascara.

I love the glow too. My favorite is Stila’s illuminated tinted face moisturizer with SPF 15. It gives that perfect glow like you just came off the beach. I put it all over my face just like a normal moisturizer and then use powder on my t-zone, a little blush, and some eye shadow with a natural lip gloss. It’s great!
I just got sephora’s blusher in apricot plaiser AWESOME!
plaisir i think! lol
Ok- Dove lotion summer glow is so awesome! It doesn’t smell gross like the other self-tanners and you don’t have to freak out that it will turn you orange overnight. Even if you smudge it a bit it is okay b/c it is gradual. However, it really does make a difference! I love it! A friend of mine even said-”oo wow! you been to the beach?” It doesn’t turn your pores orange either
They make it for fair/medium and medium/dark tones.
