Anonymous asked: Could you possibly do a tutorial on how to apply bronzer properly ? I never used it in my life but I think I'd like to give it a try. I'm also very fair skinned so I'm scared I will look orange.
I consider myself pretty adept with makeup but bronzer is tricky so to answer this question I’ve enlisted the help of my makeup artist friend Jocelyn (who you can see & follow on Tumblr HERE). A couple months ago her and I actually worked on a photoshoot together so I’ve seen her masterful work first hand and highly trust her advice. Without further adieu…
Ah, Bronzer. I’m glad you asked without just smearing the stuff all over your face. When applied correctly, bronzer can make you look thinner but when overused in the wrong places you can end up looking like an orange on a stick with your face a different color than the rest of your body. Not great.

Let’s talk about skin tone. If you’re already a bronzed lady, you’re going to use a bronzer that will enhance your tan. Something like Hula from Benefit will do the trick. This product is matte so I really only recommend it for tan, olive-skinned gals.
The goal for a fair skinned woman is to achieve the tanned shade that she would naturally get from the sun. That is, if you don’t tan very dark in the summertime, a dark tone won’t look normal when achieved with bronzer either. You should strive more for a pink/peach/copper glow. What glorious colors! I also recommend using products with shimmer because they create a blended and more natural effect. A few favorite products include Snow Bunny from Too Faced, Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc, and Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer.
ABOVE: rule of “3” sculpting with bronzer- temples, hollows of cheeks & jawbone
How to apply! There are two ways to go about bronzer. The first way is to use it as a contour product. This is the best way to use it in the colder months when your skin hasn’t seen the sun and you just want to add a bit of color and dimension to your face. For this, remember the rule of 3! You’re going sweep the product in a “3” shape on each side of your face making sure to hit the temples, hollows of cheeks and jaw bone. This thins out your face and creates the illusion of stronger bone structure. (Calling all round faces out there!)

The second way is to apply bronzer is to all the places where the sun naturally hits your face- the apples of your cheeks, front of your forehead, top of your nose, and center of your chin. Basically anywhere that sort of sticks out.
With both methods, the key is slowly building the product. Start with only a little bit of bronzer and add on as needed. Make sure to use a dense brush (bronzer brush or kabuki brush) in a circular motion to really blend product into the skin. No one likes splotchy tans.
Hope this is helpful! If not, just know that I’ll be silently judging your orange face…

Over the past few seasons I’ve noticed fashion moving toward more conservative and practical style. Perhaps as a result of the shit economy and people returning to minimalistic lifestyles, fashion has adapted. No one wants to show off their expensive goods anymore because it just makes you look like a douche. For me at least, I think 2012 will be a year of comfortable, high-quality basics and straying away from quirky trends. Here are my trend predictions (aka things I plan to like) for 2012.
OUT: PLATFORM HEELS | IN: FLATS
The jig is up for daytime towering pumps. Can all of us women just come together and admit they’re uncomfortable? I’m sick of hearing girls tell me about how “surprisngly comfortable” their 6” heels are. You’re a liar! Not saying I won’t wear heels at night time but as far as the work day is concerned, I’m returning to my ol’ faithful- the flat. They’re more demure, more comfortable and better for your feet. Done.
OUT: RAZOR SHARP HAIR | IN: SOFT & POLISHED RETRO
Asymmetrical, new wave haircuts are moving out to make room for glamorous, 50’s-style waves coming in. Even if your hair is straight, the key is in keeping it polished and perfectly coifed. Messy, bed head is done with for a while so it’s time to start setting your alarm earlier and putting some effort into your hairstyle. In future news: I am late for work!
OUT: SKINNY JEANS | IN: TROUSERS
It’s going to be hard for me to come out of my skinny, pull-on jeans and into real pants with flies but the time has come. As a natural progression after rainbow colored denim, printed trousers are especially welcome.
OUT: SMOKEY EYES | IN: CLEAN & SIMPLE BEAUTY
Sorry (read: not sorry) but the Urban Decay Naked palette needs to be gone. I LOVE all kinds of makeup but I never got into eyeshaddow so I certainly don’t like it in a gradient using 10 shades of bronze. I hope to see more girls celebrating their natural beauty in 2012 with just a little bit of eyeliner and mascara.
OUT: TRICKED-OUT HOBOS | IN: TOTES
If this year’s focus is to be minimalism and practicality, it only makes sense for tote bags to shine. They’re big enough to hold all of your stuff and without any bells and whistles, they make you look classy, smart and sensible.
