BRONZE takes 1st place!

Fall weather making you feel... bleh???  My sentiments exactly!  However, take a trip to paradise with your Fall makeup!  Bronzer is one of the leading makeup trends in Fall 2012--Who said bronze meant you had to be in 3rd place?!. This addition to your makeup look is the easiest way to brighten up your face, making you appear to have just jet-setted from the beaches of Saint Tropez!

Pictured in Harper's Bazaar, R&B dominatrix, Rihanna shows off her metallic cheeks to give you angel meets rocker chic.  The steps to achieving this look are simple:

1.  Pick your bronzer--  There is a great selection by Sephora which can be purchased at any store location starting at the low price of $15!  If your skin is fair, pick a bronzer that is a few levels above your natural shade.  It should give an effect that is slightly past rosey.  Anything more may look sunBURNT rather than sunKISSED.

2.  Apply your foundation--  Use the foundation of your choice to ensure an even complexion and a smooth palette.  Afterwards, apply concealer if needed. (Try Photo Ready Liquid Foundation by Revlon)

3. BRONZE ME BABY!--  Use a brush to apply your bronzer in light sweeping motions.  Apply the bronzer lightly and layer in order to achieve your desired look.

Tip: Already Bronze?!  Not a problem!  For ladies with a darker complexion, apply blush underneath your bronzer to give your skin a sunkissed pop of color!
