Face of the Day: Summer Bronze

I've recently been loving this bronzey look. It's perfect for these sunny summery days. I bought woodwinked from MAC as the first for a quad from MAC and it is as beautiful on as it is in the pan. When blended out it looks like 3 different shadows - stunning! 

To get things started I've been using Vichy Capital Soleil as my moisturizer and SPF everyday. It is light but makes the skin look lovely and dewy. On my oilier areas (AKA cheeks, nose, t-zone and chin) I used Bioderma Sebium Pore Refiner. It mattifies and acts as a lovely primer. As a primer on my eyes I used a sample of the Anti-Aging Urban Decay primer. And on my lips I used NUXE Reve de Miel. 

As my base I have been loving L'Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte in 10 and 20. I apply the darker shade to the most of my face and then the lighter shade through the center of my face. This foundation wears beautifully whilst not being too heavy. Definitely worth the hype it's getting. As concealer I used my new favourite, MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC20 under my eyes and a little dab on my chin, forehead and down my nose to highlight. To blend out the concealer I used my Real Techniques sponge. As powder I used my fail-safe Rimmel Stay Matte.

To add colour to my face I used Benefit Hoola Bronzer. As Blush I used MAC Springsheen and to contour I used MAC Harmony contour powder.

On my brows I used MAC Charcoal Brown eyeshadow and L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper. I'm loving this brow product, it adds colour, keeps the shape of my brows and is very long-lasting.

On the eyes I blended Harmony powder through my crease and then put MAC Woodwinked all over the lid and blended it out over the crease colour. Then I used L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim to create a very fine line just along the lash-line. I then curled my lashes and applied Benefit Roller Lash and Smashbox Full Exposure to add volume.

Brushes used (left to right): Real Techniques Buffing Brush, Real Techniques Blush Brush, So Eco Powder Brush, Sephora Angled Brush, Zoeva 227 Soft Definer Brush, Zoeva 234 Luxe Smoky Shader Brush, ELF Studio Small Angled Brush, Benefit Hoola Brush (for contour).

I think this is such a summery look I can't get enough of it!

Lots of love, C xxx
