My Foundation Doesn't Match My Tan!

You've search and sampled and finally found the perfect liquid foundation to match your skin color. The problem is, it's summer and you're a bronze goddess, so now your foundation doesn't match your tan skin!  You could go back to the drawing board and start shopping for a new foundation color for summer.  But, foundations can be expensive. One of my favorites, Urban Decay Naked Skin, is $40.00. I don't want to pay that much for a foundation that will just be used for the summer months.

Where to Apply Bronzer: Specific Areas or All Over

Q. Summer is coming and I need to add some color to my pale skin! Where should I apply bronzer for a sun kissed look? A. Bronzer is a great way to add quick color to your skin.  A bronzer can be applied to specific areas of the face or it can be lightly dusted all over the face depending on the look you want.  Powder bronzer is easy to work with because it is easily blended and there is a wide variety of shades to choose from. How to apply bronzer to specific areas A bronzer applied to specific areas of the face creates depth and a contouring effect. There is contrast between the bronzed area and the natural skin color. Apply bronzer that is one or two shades darker than your skin color to areas of the face that get the most sunlight, the nose, the cheeks, the chin and center of the forehead, to mimic a natural sun kissed look. Always blend it well in circular motions with your brush. Apply all over  color You can also dust bronzer all over your face to creat...
