Spring's New Fling: Fresh, Glowing Skin

We all want to be ready to burst into Spring, already knowing the trends and how to achieve them. One of my favorites is the Radiant Skin, because it's a good thing to have without it being a trend. We all want to have skin that looks perfect and lucky for us, this year it's a trend.

There are two main looks that I have noticed, one is the Gold-ish face and the other is the bronze-ish tent.



How To: Gold

1.) You need to prep your skin, using one of your favorite moisturizer.
2.) Apply a Foundation Primer to help keep all of the products on your face on it and to keep them from smearing or running before they set.
3.) Drop a few drops of a liquid luminizer into your foundation, or in my case, tented moisturizer.
4.) With a flat fountaion brush, apply a few, light handed sweeps of the mix along your cheek bones, down your nose, along your cupid's bow, a tiny bit on your brow bones down to the top of your cheekbones in a "C" motion.
5.) Sweep a nude colored blush along the apples of your cheeks with a regular powder brush.



How To: Bronze

1.) Prep your skin with your favorite moisturizer.
2.) Apply a foundation primer to keep your make up on all day.
3.) Mix a few drops of liquid luminizer into your foundation or tinted moisturizer.
4.) Sweep an illuminating bronzer along the bridge of your nose, across the highs of your cheek bones, the top of your chin, cupid's bow and eyebrows.
5.) Brush a bronzing powder in a E3 formation. Start at the hairline, along your cheek bones and down to your jaw.
6.) With a light hand dust a bronzer from your cheek bones down to the bridge of your nose.

Keep in mine that you will get different out-comings based on the shade of your skin. (I got most of this information from sephora.com. I also used some of the run way choices.)
