fotd: bronze + glowy

Here's a quick 'face of the day' I came up with using a shimmery brown eyeliner, bronzer to warm up the skin, and liquid highlight on the cheekbones for that JLo glow. I also tried a new foundation sample by Koh Gen Do that I received in the mail the other day (loving it so far!). This look is great for spring/summer because it gives you a sun-kissed, healthy glow- say 'buh bye' to your drab winter face!

For my base I tried a sample of the Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation- a sheer coverage, water based foundation with a natural skin-like finish. For this look, you want to use a light-weight foundation since you're layering bronzer and highlight on top (a heavy foundation will make this look cakey). I used a little concealer to cover spots then lightly dusted on Tarte bronzer all over the cheeks, forehead, and jawline with a fluffy brush. To finish the base, I took a tiny bit of Benefit's High Beam on the tops of the cheekbones and blended it out with a clean finger. Voila~ sun-kissed, glowy face!

For eyes, I wanted to achieve a soft, smokey look with minimal products so taking the Rimmel ScandalEyes in Brown, I tight lined the upper waterline of the eyes and smudged it out with a q-tip. This pencil is easy to blend so I took what was left on the q-tip and applied it to the lid. I did the same to the bottom waterline and made sure to blend out any harsh lines. For a bit more glow, I took L'Oreal Infallible shadow in Amber Rush on the inner corners of the eyes. Lastly, I curled my lashes and put on a thin coat of Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. For lips, you can use any color with this look, I chose a sheer orange one from Maybelline.

Get yo' glow on~
