Mix a quarter size of your bronzer to your moisturizer and glow! OR use a nickels worth of loose or pressed bronzing powder to a moisturizer. Mix well and glow!
It will warm up your complexion.

Today on TV I am sharing some skin care secrets on ways to prep your face and body for a gorgeous tan or safe faux tan.
You can catch the video link later this morning once it is up on http://www.news4jax.com on the one and only Channel 4 in sunny Jacksonville Florida. The Morning Show.
1.Prep your skin with an exfoliant product for a flawless smoother tan.They work wonders and kiss your dull tired skin “Goodbye!” I am crazy about Cure Natural Aqua gel, Fake Bakes Exfoliating Wipes and I also love and old school Creamy Honey and Almond scrub. You decide what works for you. They all work well.
2.Hydrate the skin with a moisturizer.
3.Check out the latest trends in self tanning.
Tanning Drops (Yes, it’s a thing!) by Farmhouse Fresh goods called Bronze Fox.
Tan Towel a towelette that you wiper on the tan.
Flawless Self Tan liquid by Fake Bake. Fake Bake even has a body mate microfiber band with handles to apply your self-tanner evenly and with ease. ALL streak free …no bad scent. They even make a self-tanner for the face. Guys you’ll love to use these too.

4.Powder Bronzer like Fake Bake is a multi-purpose beauty product. I like to use it as an all over face color to fake a tan,as a blush or as an eye shadow or eyeliner when used with a brush. Dip your clean lip brush in it and you can even make a lipstick in a pinch by adding a clear lip balm over it on your lips.

5. In or out of the sun practice safe sun with a sunscreen daily. No matter what your coloring is… especially living in sunny Florida. Sunscreen is a must.
I love to spend time in the sun. Really I do. But now I only take a walk on the beach for some Vitamin C/Sea. As a skin cancer survivor I KNOW and learned the hard way.
Be sun smart,Fake Bake!

I know you’re busy were all busy especially around the holidays. Lately I have bumped into clients out and about town who come or have come to my makeup studio in sunny Florida. However, they cover their faces and tell me please don’t look at me. I look awful. That’s kinda sad don’t you think?
If all you have is five minutes here is what you need.
A sheer foundation like Not Your Mothers Foundation or a powder foundation in a compact. Apply a sheer amount on your face staying away from your eyes and lips.
Next,blend a dash of concealer in a lipstick tube.Apply where you need coverage…eyelids, under eye and on sun or red spots.
A dash of eye shadow all over the lid…Look for a shade like a Champagne,Pink Champagne or a soft beige gold hue.Yes all you will need is one shade. NOT two or three.
YES, mascara is optional but liner is a must…it not only lines your eyes and accents them it also can create the look like you applied mascara but it is only eye liner eye pencil you have on. You actually don’t need both.
A kiss of blush or powder bronzer applied with a fan brush to give a warmth to your complexion.
A swipe of lipstick,lip gloss or lip balm…wraps up the look.
See how fast and so EASY this 5 minute face can be to do? There’s no excuse why you can’t do this too.
My model is my girlfriend Nancy doesn’t she look awesome and pretty naturally?
If you have a holiday party to do and want to look good too…with not a lot of time involved…go for it!
Share with me,chat with me…I LOVE hearing from you and your sharing a beauty secret or two with me.
Hope you are enjoying the beauty of this holiday season.
Maybe it is the shape of your brush?
The biggest beauty mistake women seem to make is using way too much blush! They simply don’t know what is the correct brush or use a heavy hand with that brush!
Here is my guide to show you how to apply it the right way and how to select the perfect brush for your blush.
Basic Blush Brush-this is a standard shape brush with a medium to long handle. If you bought it on the run and at a non-fancy big box or dollar store it is NOT going to give you a beautiful blush look.
Angle Brush-This brush helps to apply blush to create a contoured slimming the face effect with your blush. if you can bowl your face down an alley this brush is for you.Unless of course you like a more round face.
Blush/ Bronzing Blush Brush-This flat top beauty is usually perfect for applying bronzer or a kiss of blush color
Fan Brush-This helps to apply the precise kiss of color.Not too much not too soft. I highly recommend this brush for blush.
4 in 1 Blush- This brush is a multi-tasker for blush and other sections of the face too. It is must have in your brush wardrobe!
And if you get a brush inside the blush compact…Do yourself a favor and throw it out !!!
OR in a pinch use it as an eye shadow or highlighter brush. Just remember the shape is off and the quality is not the best.
FYI
The brush pictured is a travel brush for POWDER but I often see ladies in powder rooms using it for blush. Of course the blush looks over done and a hot mess!
I love this brush but only use it for what it is intended for…loose or pressed powder!
Beauty & The Beach YOU can do in just minutes!
It is that wonderful time of year…TAN safely without the sun. OR at least keep yourself protected. This week on TV I shared these tips. Hope you enjoy them too!

New on the market is Selfie (That is the name of the brand)Sunless Tan Spray or lotions that can give you a TAN in two hours! They even have a sunless tanner for your FACE.
