I couldn’t even begin to think about facing summer without stocking up on the three S’s: sunscreen, self-tanner, and SERIOUS hair moisturizers. But just like everyone else, I still crave the 24Karat glow. You know, a healthy bronze complexion accented with the Midas touch (read: shimmery copper shadows and pretty, glistening lips). In honor reaching summer’s half-way mark, I’m sharing a few of the gilded greats I turn to season after season. These products will maximize your tan and keep you naturally gorgeous and glowing long after you pack away the bikinis and beach blankets.
Vapour Mesmerize Eye Shimmer Treatment in Ember, $18
This fool-proof shimmer stick is my summertime secret weapon. Packed with good-for-you antioxidants, it swivels up for a smooth, natural application. I love warming the formula up on the back of my hands and dabbing a bit of product on my lids, the apples of my cheeks, and in the center of my lip. In the summer, I even blend a bit with my favorite lightweight body moisturizer and dab on my collarbones and shoulders to make a sundress extra special.
100% Pure Cocoa Pigmented Bronzer, $25
Cocoa, tomato, coffee – sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? When combined to create all-natural bronzer these unlikely ingredients are actually kind of amazing. This is my all-time favorite way to fake a summer glow. Teeny light particles give off a super healthy sheen, and the powder is totally weightless – an essential for the humid summer months. Apply a layer of daytime serum over to blend and amp up the glow potential.
