How To Apply Your "Tan" Like A Pro

Here is a step by step on how to get the perfect tan with self-tanner!

1. Exfoliate skin in the shower with a body scrub, loofah, or scrubby gloves, and shave your legs. The smoother skin is, the better your tan will look. 

2. Don't apply moisturizer to skin. It can prevent the self-tanning formula from taking hold and can result in spottiness. 

3. When skin is 100% dry, apply your self-tanner evenly. Work in every zone to ensure you cover all areas. 

4. Move from head to toes apply with fingers tightly closed (spreading self-tanner with splayed fingers can leave you with streaks).

5. Use light, circular strokes for evenness. 

6. Don't tan the sides or heels of your feet- the thick skin there will soak up the formula. Instead, make your tan fade gradually from your shins to your feet, by blending down softly. 

7. After, applying, immediately scrub your hands with soap and water so your palms don't turn dark. Don't forget to scrub between your fingers and your cuticles! 

8. Last, take a barely- damp washcloth and buff your knees, elbows, around your jaw line, ankles, feet and wrists to blend and soften the colour there and to avoid demarcation lines. If you feel the need to go darker, repeat the process the next day, and so on, until you get the desired colour.

Smashbox has created the Smashbox O-Bronze Intuitive Cheek Bronzer which allows you to get perfect sunkissed cheeks. It transforms from a white cream to a custom coloured bronze. You can never go wrong! Never too light, never too dark and best of all never orange. Pretty for spring and summer!

The Smashbox Beauty Guru Palette includes a blush and bronzer duo, shadow and liner quad, lip colour trio as well as a high shine topcoat. This set has everything you need to get a perfect look! Love!!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

I recently started noticing that my eye shadow does not last as long as I would really like to it. It is almost completely diminished by around 6 pm. That does not make me happy. So, I started my search for the perfect eyeshadow primer. On my journey I discovered, the award winning Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, but what really caught my eye was Urban Decay Eyeshadow Potion in Sin. This is really great because not only does it grab on to your eyeshadow and keep it there, but it has a subtle champagne coloured shimmer that compliments any eyeshadow and it can double as a highlighter! You can also wear it alone on your lids to get an effortless look. This product is exclusive to Sephora so don't go anywhere else searching for it.
