Bronzed beauty.

Hello lovelies, 

As a girl who grew up on Long Island, and whose whole family has beautiful olive Italian skin tones, I have learned to love bronzer as much any "guido." (No offense, of course.) 

I feel as though bronzer can be one of the tougher products to kind of nail down ; because in my case, if I use too little, I look like a ghost, and if I use too much, I look either orange, or too damn dark and then my face doesn't match my neck.

Just a couple suggestions as to my favorite bronzers, as we are getting deeper into spring time and closer to summer, it is easy to go from pale to orange, and NOBODY has time for that. All of these recommendations are matte shades too, because unless I'm going out and using shimmery tones on say the highlight area, or collar bones, I want nothing to do with glittery bronzer. 

1. Benefit Hoola Bronzer

Now, I know this has been out for a hot second, but the thing is, it's a one size fits all kind of product. If you use this deeper chocolate toned bronzer very sparingly on the forehead, temples, cheeks, ect, it is a beautiful look. It can also be used to contour using the right brushes, and correct amount. This can be found in store like Ulta, and Sephora. I've had mine for probably five months and just hit pan on it this week. It's worth the little boost in price, definitely. 

2. Rimmel Natural Bronzer: Sundance

Super light powder, but as much as you pile on, it doesn't ever seem cakey, or as if you've dipped your face in paint. I've been using this product for YEARS and I recommend rimmel face powders over any drugstore product. The only bad thing about this, is since it is a compacted powder, they tend to shatter easily once you've used a majority of the product. Other than that, I have no complaints, and use this all of the time.

3. Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil - Light Medium

Y'all, if you need a chocolate fix but you're on a diet, ya need this. Not only is it probably one of the easiest bronzers to wear, but it smells like straight up hot cocoa. It lasts all day, and doesn't ever get splotchy. I went for light medium when I purchased it, thinking it would be a perfect transition color for me going into the summer, and so far, so good. Worth the $. 

What are your recommendations for summer products?

Let me know!

Until then,
