HOW TO FIND MY SHADE

Visit My Color Advisor to find the most flattering shades of blush and bronzer for your skin tone, and check out the shade selection suggestions below.

  • For blush: What color are your cheeks after you pinch them, exercise or come in from the cold? That’s the best shade to look for in a blush since it’s closest to the natural flush of your cheeks. Your perfect shade will always blend in with your natural cheek color.
  • For bronzer: Remember how your skin looked after your last sunny getaway? That’s the color you want. For the look of your most natural tan, never go more than two shades darker than your natural skin tone. In the summertime you can go slightly darker with your bronzer, but lighten up your shade in the winter so your “tan” looks more natural.

PREPARE TO GLOW
Use the brush that comes with the compact or for more control use the. Dip brush into the bronzer then blow off any excess color.

APPLY COLOR
Begin with a light application since you can always build up color gradually. Brush on bronzer anywhere the sun naturally hits your face.

ACCENT YOUR FEATURES
Use bronzer to define your bone structure. Apply with gentle outward strokes across the center of your forehead, bridge and tip of your nose, cheekbones and chin. Highlight your neck and collarbone with a light sweep.

Normally I love shopping or at least "window" shopping for furniture and things to make the home more beautiful. However, lately, I've been more interested in clothes. I am frugal by nature, but I can't believe that I bought 2 shirts, pants and a wool jacket yesterday! But I've been working really hard and I felt it was a way to reward myself for all my hard work. Here are the styles that I'm loving now!
