Bronze Honey Dip
Summer 2005

Now that the summer sun is out in full blast, and your flirty skirts and shorts have made it to the front of your closet, I know you want to bare it all to the world!

To give your skin the perfect beach babe glow make sure your summer thirsty skin is ready to show, with this season’s best body bronzing lotions, crème’s, spray’s and airbrushing products.
The faux tan is the skin accessory of the moment. So get your bronze on with Fake Bake Tan Enhancing Lotion. This gold glistening lotion gives your skin a beautiful caramel hue with 100% organic ingredients and exotic oils such as jasmine and coconut. If you are a little St. Tropez crazy, and need a deep dark tan to kick off your summer days, check out Era Rayz Spray On Bronzer. This easy self-tanning spray comes in two formulations: In the Sun (gives a gorgeous peachy tan) for light to medium skin tones; and By the Sea (gives a golden bronze hue) for medium to dark skin tones.

For those of you who need a no-holds-barred full spectrum tan, get your hands on Model Co Tan Airbrush In a Can. That’s right, I said AIRBRUSH! This is the crème de la crème of spray tanning for face and body. The 360-degree nozzle makes getting every body part easy to reach for a flawless streak-free finish. (I think I found the secret to Tyra Banks, and Eve’s super-tan model glow!).

Enhance your natural tan with products like Michael Kors Leg shine. This glossy golden stick gives gams and arms a beautiful bronzy tint (which help hide imperfections) and a hint of Michael Kors signature scent! Channel’s Perfect Colour Face Tanner with spf 8 gave us an amazingly natural golden glow …not to mention the Copper pearl and White Lily extracts keep the complexion hydrated and non-greasy!

Whichever way you decide to get your skin to its best summer hue, you must keep it well moisturized. Jergens Natural Glow Daily moisturizer is a “must have” for an ultra natural sun-kissed glow that will enhance your skin’s color every time you use it. It’s also a great way to keep your skin tone even, in-between tanning.

Bronze skin inspires fun, tropical, color for this season’s summer makeup looks!
Enhance your eyes with cool colored eye pencils such as NARS eyeliner in Kitty (a vibrant turquoise blue), or DELUX beauty eyeliner in Shay Violette (a pretty party-girl purple!). If you want to try a smoldering smoky eye, like the beauty photo that accompanies this article. Check out Teleclerc’s eye pencil in Topaz (a deep chocolate brown with a hint golden shimmer) combined with Teleclerc’s Safari Duo Eye shadow (a khaki hued gold - one side shimmered, the other side matte).

Sweeten your cheeks with creamy shades of pink, peach or bronze that will stand up to any degree of heat! Check out Hard Candy Sweet Cheeks Liquid Blush in Baby (a peachy pink). Or go for a cinnamon bronze flush on the apples of your cheeks (great on deep skin tones). Try Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer in No. 4. This deep cinnamon formula has just enough pigment to warm up the cheeks or add a drop to your foundation to get an all-over glow!

For you truly natural girls, get a hold of Aveda’s Cheek Tint stick in Phlox. This pretty pink tint goes on like watercolor for your cheeks and looks great with or without a tan.

Lickable lips get slick with Bourjois Lovely Rouge moisturizing lip color in Rose Essential 02 (a sexy pink). Or if lip balm is your thing, I can’t get enough of Perfumeria Gal Lip Balms with spf4 in Cherry, Banana, Lime and Peppermint flavors (it’s like your favorite Now-n-Later in a glossy lip balm).

Last but not least, for the third summer in a row, Becca Cosmetics tops the list for the best Glossy Lip Tints! Take my word for it, you must try; Maraschino (a watermelon pink), Frisco (a clear apricot shimmer), or Sugar Plum (a sheer purple). These luscious flavors will surely keep your lips looking cool even when you know you look hot!
