Sun-kissed skin: makeup tips to get that summer glow
How to give your skin that irresistible 'lit from within' look
GO FOR BRONZE
Despite popular opinion, those with darker skin tones need not exclude bronzing products from their beauty arsenal.
Work a bronzing body cream into your legs and arms to lightly tint the skin and enhance your natural shade.
TIME TO GLOW
Applying oils or illuminators before foundation is like a guaranteed light bulb for your skin. First moisturise, then smooth a face oil or cream illuminator over bare skin to give it that “lit from within” sheen.SMOOTH LUSTRE
Exaggerate your skin’s glow by smoothing out its texture in every way. Slough off any dry skin by using a granular scrub all over the body. Then mix a bit of foundation into your body moisturiser to cover blemishes and even out skin tone.OH MY GLOSS
Use a clear lip gloss lightly dabbed on eyelids, cheekbones and lips to give your skin an unreal, vinyl, melted-in shimmer. Great for warmer weather.
SO POLISHED
Make skin irresistible by spritzing on an intense fragrance over freshly moisturised skin. Not only will it prolong the life of your scent, but will allow it to settle throughout the day.From left to right:
