The summer has officially waved its last goodbyes, so you’re probably saying “sayonara” to that beautiful tan, too. Not so fast! We know our beauty products are there to pick up the slack when it comes to recreating/and or mimicking looks. And if you want to craft a glow like no other, the buck doesn’t stop.

Bold lips and smoldering eyes are typical fall beauty trends, but  “lit from within” skin is the current source of beauty community buzz. Products like liquid bronzer can aid in keeping your sun soaked glow going beyond the spring and summer seasons.

Check out these makeup artist approved hacks for using the “it” product this fall.

How-To:

1. Pump out as much of your complexion product as you normally would onto your mixing equipment.

2. Add 1-2 pumps of liquid bronzer into your foundation (one pump for sheer coverage, two pumps for a little more warmth; also ideal for deeper skin tones)

3. Mix them together with a Q-tip.

4. Add a little to the back of your hand and move around on the skin. This will warm up the products and give those flecs in the bronzer a little more luminosity before placing directly on the face.

5. Use you fluffy ended brush to apply the mixture all over the face; starting from the middle of the cheek and working your way out and down toward the neck.

Pro-Tip: Be intentional with your intial placement. If you have a particularly pale part of the face, dap the first swipes of product there. Then go back and blend from the cheek out toward that area.

6. Keep working that product around the face until the complexion is bronzed and even.

Pro-Tip: Learn to multitask your products by observing the textures and how they tend to warm the skin. Use your liquid bronzer as a light cheek highlight, by adding a little less foundation into the mixture and using a slightly denser brush to apply directly on the cheekbone, then go back over with your blush.
