Hey beauties! So it’s no secret that I love playing with makeup. It’s one of my favorite forms of expression (aside from fashion, of course!) and I love how even a simple look can change my mood right around and raise my confidence level. Now that I’m a mom, I’ve noticed that even just applying a little blush and mascara makes me feel so much more put-together and ready to face the any challenge the day might bring! Today I’ll be sharing a perfect summer beauty look with products from Mary Kay®, inspired by Project Runway (because who doesn’t want to look and feel like a super model?!). This look is all about that bronze glow–focused on eyes and cheeks. It’s the quintessential summer look, and I love how natural and beautiful this look is. Plus, I’ve always said that making the eyes pop is my favorite thing of all time. SO! With all this being said, let’s get to the look, shall we? :)
THAT PERFECT SUMMER BRONZE GLOW
Begin with foundation, concealer and some setting powder. Fill in your brows, too. Then, apply Mary Kay® Bronzing Powder with a powder brush to the points of your face where the sun would naturally hit, for a sun-kissed look.
Add the Mineral Cheek Duo in Spiced Poppy over the bronzer with the Cheek Brush. Use the highlighter shade on top of the cheek to give shine.
Using the Eye Color Brush, apply Mary Kay® Amber Blaze and Gold Coast Mineral Eye Colors to the eyelid. Gold eyeshadow is my faaaaavorite shade for summer! I have been wearing it nonstop. A little bit goes a long way! Apply Precious Pink Mineral Eye Color to the crease of the eyelid to add more warmth and dimension. Apply Gel Eyeliner in Jet Black to the base of the upper lashes (never to the bottom, this closes your eyes and you want to open them). Apply a couple of coats of Lash Love Lengthening Mascara. A couple… four… what’s the difference? ;) One can never have too much mascara (this is my motto).
Add a metallic touch to your lips with NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss in Beach Bronze.
Voila! You’re dewy and bronzed and ready for a day at the beach! Just don’t forget your sunscreen, babe!

This bronze glow look is my favorite. I love bronze year round! And I’m not sure if its the makeup or pregnancy but you are definitely glowing!

I like some bronzer with mascara (always!) in the summer.

I love the bronzed look for summer! I fully embrace my love of browns and golds during this time of year, and those eyeshadows paired with a nice contour are amazing! I tend to lay off the eyeliner a bit during this season (it’s a little too dramatic! I prefer to keep those towards the colder seasons) and I tend to just go with a little mascara to top off the look!

A bronzed look for summer is definitely my favorite! I love a golden complexion when it’s sunny outside. Makes anyone look great in a swimming suit for sure!

My favorite summer look is the bronze glow look.

I usually don’t wear too much makeup, but I love blush in the summer for that natural flushed look with a bit of bronzer for some tan. And lots and lots of mascara!!

For summer, I like the bronzed look with nude lipstick. I’m into a natural sun-kissed look.

A bronze look just shouts summer to me. Now that my days of baking in the sun are over it takes a good bronzer to come near that same feeling.
