Hey everyone! I'm back with a new tutorial on bronzing for that back from the Bahamas look. This will help give an idea for that sunkissed look no matter how porcelain you may look.
Model: My good friend Katy
The Tools (from top left):
-Vasanti loose eyeshadow in Solar Flare
-Mac fluidline in graphic brown
-Sephora cream e/l brush
-Aura Science loose powder
-Mac eyeshadow in coppering
-Mac blush in gingerly
-Bare Escentuals eye brush
-Bare Escentuals full flawless kabuki brush
-Dermablend smooth indulgence foundation in nude ivory
-Sugar tropic tan bronzer (main product)
-Mac pigment in copper sparkle
-Mac pigment in tan
-Bare Escentuals prime time
-Paula Dorf eye lite
-Bourjois volume glamoure ultra black mascara
-L'oreal hip brush
-Maybelline angle contour brush
-Image Essentials crease brush
-Kryolan crease brush
-Vasanti crease brush
-Paula Dorf sheer crease brush
-Mac lipstick in jubilee
-Lancome juicy tubes in simmer
-Mac metal x cream e/s in goldspice
-Bare Escentuals e/s in true gold
-Tony & Tina angle brush
-Shiseido eyelash curler
-Japonesque bronzer brush
-Bare Escentuals angled face brush
Things I forgot to put in pic:
-Medusa's stick it base
-Mac metal x crm e/s in pure ore
-Mac 190 foundation brush
-NYX lip liner in natural
1. She cleansed with Murad clarifying cleanser
2. She applies a thin layer of Murad recovery treatment gel to take away redness.
3. She moisturizes with Exuviance essential multi defense spf 15
4. Apply Dermablend foundation with Mac's 190 brush in short light strokes all
over face.
5. Then set foundation with loose powder
6.Here's the main part, take a good smooth kabuki brush like Japonesque's and buff Sugar tropic tan bronzer all over face, neck and chest in circular motions.
I applied 2-3 layers on Katy. Make sure everything's even.
*Apply more on the cheekbones, temples, forehead, nose, and chin.
7. Apply Mac's blush in gingerly with Bare Escentuals angled face brush on cheeks and more on the hollows for a contour effect.
8. Apply a little Paula Dorf eye lite under eyes for instant brightening (you
could do this before foundation, i just forgot!)
9. With the Tony & Tina angled brush apply Vasanti solar flare on inner corners, mac coppering on the rest of the lash line smoking it up, and then a dark brown shadow on the outer lash lines.
10. Apply medusa's stick it base on lids.
11. With Bare Esentuals' eye brush apply vasanti's solar flare on inner corners
and brow bones in gentle sweeping motions
12. Then Bare Escentuals' true gold all over lid but right under brow bone.
13. Then sweep on Mac's coppering from lashline to crease, and top off with mac pigment in tan and copper sparkle.
So far this is how it looks! Wow brings out her eye color eh?
15. Now I took Mac's metal x cream eyeshadows in pure ore and goldspice and applied with fingers onto her cheek bones.
16. Take a mini liner brush like sephora's cream liner brush and apply mac fluidline in graphic brown into a wing.
17. Curl the lashies with Shiseido's curler =)
18. Apply Bourjois vol. glamour mascara in ultra black along lashes, 2 coats.
19. Line the lips with NYX's in natural
20. Apply mac lipstick in jubilee
21. Apply a top layer of Lancome juicy tubes in simmer
Annnnndd...the end result!
