Being a bronzed bombshell is all about subtle glam with discreet contouring and a barely-there smokey eye. Here’s how to achieve the look.
Start by cleansing your skin with a gentle cleanser; this will help get rid of excess sebum and dirt. Apply a lip mask or balm to prep your lips – you want a plumped effect – and a mattifying primer on your face. Using a damp sponge, gently buff foundation into the skin, then apply concealer on key areas such as the under-eye area.
Next, focus on the brows; gently push the hairs upwards with a spoolie and fill in any sparse spots. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler to open them out. Sweep a soft nude eyeshadow all over your lids and gently smudge a black hue towards the outer corner to get that subtle smokey eye. Coat your lashes with a volumising mascara; apply multiple coats, carefully waiting for each to dry before adding the next. Finish with a fine-tipped eyeliner pen to give a slight flick.
Gently apply a contour cream just below the cheekbone and along your forehead, and blend. Use a large powder brush to sweep some bronzer on your cheekbones. Then layer a liquid highlighter over your bronzer, dabbing it with your fingers. Apply a bit of liquid highlighter on the neck and clavicle as well.
To give yourself the fuller lips that are central to this look, overline your lips with a nude lip pencil and gently blur with a lip brush. Apply a nude brown hue, finishing with a bit of lip oil in the middle of the lips for that glossy pop.
Finish the look with translucent powder and then setting spray to set the face.
