The Guide on Getting the Look:
Summer Makeup Tips with Clinique Makeup Artist, Laura Mohberg
"After a day spent in the sun, skin takes on a richer, deeper appearance. Pinkish undertones can be seen in the cheek and lip area. It's you with a dash of colour. This is the Kiss of Bronze collection -a selection of sheers for lips and face that mimics natural sun-splashed skin tones."
#1 CREATE A LIGHTWEIGHT BASE
Smooth on a sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer such as Clinique's Moisture Sheer Tints SPF 15 followed by a translucent powder to set foundation, and then add a dusting of powder bronzer.
#2 BRING ON THE BRONZE
Concentrate bronzers where the sun would naturally hit the skin to warm up your face. These areas include the forehead, cheeks, chin and tip of the nose.
Insider Info:
Pressed powders such as Clinique's True Bronze Pressed Powder allow for a buildable application so you can apply as much or as little as you want to acquire the warmth or depth you are trying to achieve. **Bronzers should be sheer and not too heavy or obvious.
Use a brush, like Clinique's Bronzer / Blender Brush which is designed to be used with bronzers to ensure even application. The Technique: Dip the brush into the bronzer powder, swirl, knock off excess powder and apply.
#3 HIGHLIGHTS
The Shimmering Tones Powder should be layered on next to add glowing highlights and pull the look together. Sweep over the eyelid, and highlight brow bone, bridge of nose and the top of your cheekbone.
#4 SULTRY, SHINY LIPS
First, line lips and fill in with Clinique's Sheer Shaper for Lips to add natural definition. You don't want an obvious "lined" lip look. Next, apply one of the NEW Colour Surge Butter Shine sheer lipsticks and layer a coat of Glosswear for Lips for a super wet look.
Insider Info:
Use the new Clinique Lip Brush to press and blend the lipstick and lip gloss onto the lip. This will result in a remarkably smooth and even look.
HELPFUL HINTS
A creamy sheer pink blush will give cheeks a natural fleshy undertone and add a little colour to your bronzed look.
If you are olive skinned, definitely use pinkish shades for lips and cheeks.
Darker skin tones that have more depth should concentrate on highlights to create dimension especially in areas like the top of the cheekbones.
