Sun kissed / Bronzed Makeup look

Screen Shot 2014-08-19 at 23.11.17Formally being a matte-faced girl my tastes have now changed. After looking at several celeb faces and seeing them look so tanned and all glowy I thought why not try less powder and more dewiness. Here’s what’s giving me the sun kissed glow of the moment…
Screen Shot 2014-08-19 at 23.11.24To start with it’s all about injecting the glow pre-foundation. I went with the All Over Glow by Topshop in the shade Ignite, a bronzy golden shade, it’s incredible and reminds me of something the Victoria Secret models would use ( one can dream ). It blends into the skin so well, dries down to a semi-matte finish but still bounces light off the right places and gives a glow but not massively overpowering. You can then apply foundation  over the top of it. Now for the base, the foundation  is the Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation, long-lasting, medium coverage and brings the glow whilst not being too cakey on your face. Is it obvious that I am still living in last summer?

Together making the longest, most fluttery lashes , it makes blinking so much fun its all oooh I'm so mysterious.
I was always very wary of bronzer i felt like without it i looked like one of those japanese geishan women but when i put it on it just looked all patchy. So when I do try and find one I like one that’s not too warm toned that you look orange and not too cool toned that you look muddy so the Topshop Bronzer in Mohawk is perfectly bang in the middle and is matte too so looks so natural on the skin.
For blush I’ve been highly obsessed with the peachy, pink and golden stick that is the Topshop Glow Stick in Spotlight , it’s a swipe and blend product that’s so quick and simple to use. Its the perfect dewy warm shade to go with a tanned blowy look, wink wink. Lastly the Glow Pot Highlighter in Gleam, a tiny pot of golden goodness. It’s seriously pigmented stuff and lasts hours and hours!!

I would therefore recommend MAC brave, its my latest obsession and ohwoweeee so pretty. Easy to apply and the colour ties everything in together beautifully and I adore the way it finishes off the look.
Although its only just winter ending i'm feeling way ahead of the game, hope I'm not the only one! and if you know of any products you think make you look very 'glowy' then tweet me @georginarose_!!
Have a fabulous week!

Love coming at cha!!! x
