My go-to summer look for a subtle bronze-y glow is super quick and easy! Typically I just use a small amount of concealer to cover the dark circles under my eyes. I love the concealing power and skin-like finish of the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer [(3) $28]. Then I’ll add a bronzer with a tiny bit of shimmer in it, like the Becca Sunlit Bronzer [(4) shade ‘bronzed bondi’ $38],  to my cheeks and dust the leftover product across my nose, forehead, and basically just my entire face.

For my eyes I just use my finger to press a shimmery eyeshadow all over my lid, I love the gold and peach shades in the ColourPop ‘Yes Please!’ Eyeshadow Palette [(1) $16]  and the CYO Metallic Eyeshadow Singles [(5) shades ‘cooeey’ & ‘lovey dovey’ $4/ea; available at Walgreen’s].  I finish up the eyes by curling my eyelashes. I get a dramatic effect with the Kevin Auccoin Lash Curler [(6) $21]  that can get right up to my lashline. I make sure to squeeze down firmly 2 or 3 times on each eye to crimp my eyelashes at the root so they stand straight up. I haven’t found the need to use mascara since I started tinting my naturally blonde eyelashes black myself a few years ago (I can write more about how I do this too!).

Finally I use a super moisturizing glossy lip product like the Lanolips Tinted Balm [(2) shade ‘rose’ $13.50]  which is unbelievably moisturizing and pigmented at the same time.
