How to Achieve That Sun-Kissed Glow (Without Sitting in the Sun)

Come summer, everyone wants skin that glows from time in the sun. You can achieve it without the sun’s danger.

I wonʼt sit in the sun to get it though because A. It’s dangerous B. It results in premature aging (wrinkles) C. I wonʼt get that glow lol, Iʼll get burnt and freckled!

Hereʼs how I get that glow at home instantly.

 

First apply your foundation, CC+ cream, tinted moisturizer, or whatever you use. (This is a great everyday option for the summer).

 

Next, before you apply any powders, weʼre going to use a cream bronzer. This Chanel bronzer is a fabulous way to get bronzed. It is best applied with a brush like this one.

Apply it to high points of the face where you would normally get tanned (forehead, cheekbones, chin, the tip of the nose). This bronzer gives such beautiful color and a subtle glow without adding any texture to the skin. Make sure to blend it out well. (Fair skin girls: This can double as a cream contour!)

Next, a great tip is to use a cream blush. It adds a slight “sun-kissed” look to the skin without looking like “blush.” This convertible color is a great option. It can be applied with the same kind of brush as the cream bronzer. Go with a light hand and blend over cheeks.

 

The next step is to go over your entire face with this bronzer.  This is THE BEST bronzer!! It goes on like butter and is not powdery. Itʼs a beautiful shade and gives the skin a healthy glow. It also smells like vacation (bonus points!). This is a great brush to use with it. Focus a little more on your cheekbones and forehead.

Good luck getting sun-kissed! Happy summer.
