How To: Golden Glow


Summer is entering its slow burn, but that doesn't mean you can't get a golden glow of your own! This is how I do it in 10 steps: 

  1. I started with Laura Gellar Spackle Primer in Bronze--a primer that has a built-in bronzer--and applied it to my face.
  2. Next, I used a luminating foundation. This one is L'Oreal Dream Match Lumi, but you can make your own luminizer here.
  3. To add a little color to my face, I used a bronzer--Maybelline Dream Sun. It has just the faintest bit of shimmer.
  4. I used this NYX blush in Copper as a highlighter, and applied it right above my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose, and a little on my forehead.
  5. For eyes, I used Maybelline Eye Studio in Copper Chic. I put the gold shade all over the lid. The copper shade was just in the center of the lid, and the brown shade in my crease.
  6. I lined my waterline with the Gold Mine Urban Decay liner.
  7. I then lined my bottom lashes with Urban Decay Smog
  8. Too Faced's Better Than Sex mascara was applied on my lashes for those sexy, bedroom eyes.
  9. On my cheeks and lips, I added NYX lipstick in Margarita
  10. For just a little more glow on my legs, I used NUXE dry shimmer oil.

  1. You look fab, Elle! I must admit that I'm pretty pale--so, these tips are very useful. I have been using a Lancome blusher as of late that's bringing a bit of glow to my cheeks. :) Have a fab day! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com

  3. I always opt for pale all year round...but that's mostly because I tried to bronze one year and it turned out terribly. I needed you back then because these tips sound great!

  9. Great look! I wear a little powder bronzer sometimes, but otherwise just stick with my fair skin.

  10. Very cute look! I have trouble with glowy products because I have oily skin so they make me feel like I look more oily. But I like how it makes your face look brighter in a way.

  14. This is a lovely post. I adore the golden glow. But I feel you look better in it, because all the gold and light browns really play up your eyes.
