STEP ONE: "The best way to add a gorgeous glow to your face is to take a classic bronzer such as Too Faced Caribbean In A Compact in Sun Bunny, and buff the color around the edges of the face -- paying extra attention to the under the chin, the hollows of the cheeks and down each side of your nose," Jerrod says.

 

You don't want the cheeks to be as dark as your jaw line, or your face starts to lose definition. Use a lighter shade to highlight when you move on to"¦

 

STEP TWO: "Finish your look by dusting the apples of the cheeks, and the inner part of your face with a perfecting bronzing powder like the Too Faced Pink Leopard Bronzer."

 

STEP THREE: "To ensure that your new glow isn't obvious," he adds, "the bronzer should be extended to the neckline. If your shoulders or décolleté are exposed, make sure skin looks smooth and glowing by using a moisturizing body bronzer soft, shimmering golden and pink hues, such as Tanning Bed In A Tube, which is both a bronzer and sunless tanner in one."

 

If you make a mistake and get one area too dark, Jerrod suggests using a tissue to wipe it away. "Alternatively," he says, "you can add a bit of translucent powder to the area and buff it out. This will do two things at once: lighten the darker pigment and also blend out the excess."
