"Bronza!"


I am so excited because in this blog I put in pictures! Yay! I am getting better at this whole thing! Anyway, Spring and summertime are knocking on our door and you might be thinking you want a pretty tan to show off during these warm sunny months! PLUS, fashion FYI CORAL is the "it" color for spring and the best accessory for coral is a nice pretty tan! But, if you do not go to the tanning bead or lay out that is ok! Let me tell you about the BEST "bronza" I have ever used! No oompa loompa orange here! It is called St. Tropez and literally you will look like you have been in St. Tropez! Haha. The line has a variety of products but I use the bronzing mousse and the spray on bronzer. The bronzing mousse you put on at night. The pigment in this bronzer is blue/green so it is BROWN not orange! It is amazing. You will look like you have been tanning all winter long! The spray bronzer is good for spraying your legs or something if you are wearing a skirt and maybe have not used the bronzer in a while! Or to even out tan lines from you swim suit.





Now let's talk about bronzing your face. There is a fine line between beautifully bronzed and rusty..orange? Orange should NOT be the color of your face! I think sometimes girls think tanner=prettier. That is not always the case. Bronzer is pretty if you are a girl in "know" not a girl who committed a bronzer "oh honey no no!" Aka-Snooki.

For a nightime bronze I use Moonglow from Jane Iredale. For the daytime I use a matte bronzer (it looks more natural) called So-Bronze also from Jane Iredale. I blogged about these products already but I am going to go more in depth on how to apply with this blog. With bronzer for the face you want to apply it like the sun would naturally tan you. On top and under your cheekbones, up to your temple, across your hairline, down the bridge of your nose, and the center of your chin. You can also highlight these areas by taking the pink or gold color in the quad and apply. It just depends on what look you want! Here is a chart to help you visualize!


So now that your face is bronzed and beautiful don't forget you have a neck! You want your face and neck to be the same color! So applying bronzer on the neck to match your face if you need to is a YES! Don't put too much on the jaw line but make sure it all blends well together, face, jaw, neck :).
