Today I\u2019ll be giving you my tried-and-tested tips on how to get that glamorous J-Lo style glow for Summer 2019!<\/p>\n If you are very pale and feel self-conscious in the summer as a result, don\u2019t be afraid to fake tan! You\u2019ve just got to prep your skin properly and do the whole process very carefully, to get an amazing result without the usual gravy coloured streaks..!<\/p>\n Firstly and most importantly, you must remove any unwanted hair, and exfoliate your whole body with a gritty exfoliator and\/or a shower puff or muslin cloth the day before<\/em> you intend to do your fake tan. Make sure to concentrate on your elbows, knees, feet and hands, as most people seem to have drier skin in these areas and fake tan will most definitely stick to it. Then a short while later, apply some body lotion, again concentrating on your elbows, knees, feet and hands.<\/p>\n The next day, apply your fake tan of choice evenly all over (except your feet and hands), blending very thoroughly. Then wash your hands thoroughly, using soap and a scrubbing brush on your palms.<\/p>\n About an hour or two later, use a large make-up brush to blend a very small<\/u> amount of the fake tan onto your hands and feet, making sure to blend it all out super carefully, and painting a teeny amount between your fingers so you don\u2019t have white gaps! I always do my feet and hands last, as they always seem to go a much darker colour.<\/p>\n My all-time favourite fake tan (and goodness knows, I\u2019ve tried them all!) is Clarins Instant Self Tanning Gel<\/em>, and I also like their Self Tanning Milky Lotion<\/em>. If you\u2019re very fair or are a newbie at self tanning (or just nervous about the whole process), the St Tropez<\/em> Gradual Tan Tinted<\/a> is a great option as you can see where you\u2019re putting it, and Tan-Luxe The Butter<\/em><\/a> is lovely and subtle too.<\/p>\n I love a slightly shimmery cream bronzer in the summer to enhance what little tan I have..! Although it\u2019s not actually a bronzer, Benefit Watt\u2019s Up<\/em> stick is perfect for warming up your skin tone if you\u2019re very pale. MILK Make-up Matte Bronzer<\/em><\/a> in \u2018Baked\u2019 gives a pretty warmth to fair to medium skin tones, while MILK Make-up Matte Bronzer<\/em><\/a> in \u2018Blaze\u2019 is perfect for medium to dark skin tones.<\/p>\n If you prefer to use a powder bronzer, The Body Shop Honey Bronzer<\/em><\/a> and Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk\u2019r Instant Warmth Bronzer <\/em>both come in a great range of shades for all skin tones. I also highly recommend Benefit Hoola Lite<\/em> for fair skin tones, and NARS Bronzing Powder in \u2018Laguna\u2019 for medium to dark skin tones.<\/p>\n Next you need a beautiful highlighter to bring light to your cheekbones and brow bones. Smashbox LA Lights Blendable Lip & Cheek Colour<\/em> in \u2018Hollywood and Highlight\u2019 gives a super pretty pearly glow to fair skin tones, while NARS Illuminator <\/em>in \u2018Hot Sand\u2019 is perfect for medium skin tones.<\/p>\n If you prefer a powder highlighter, try one with a creamy finish so that it doesn\u2019t look too dusty under bright sunlight \u2013 Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed<\/em> comes in a fab range of shades.<\/p>\n\n Warm bronze tones on the eyes always look glam in the summer and will warm up a tanned look even further. A simple wash of a cream eyeshadow in a bronze tone all over your lids will look pretty and effortless \u2013 try Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize<\/em> in \u2018Bette\u2019, or Maybelline Colour Tattoo<\/em> in \u2018On and on Bronze\u2019 for a great long-lasting budget alternative.<\/p>\n Image by Olivia Parker Scott<\/a><\/p>\n Another way to make a tan pop is to pair it with a bright lipstick, which instantly looks summery and effortless, if paired with minimal eye make-up. Perhaps try a pretty coral such as NARS Audacious Lipstick<\/em> in \u2018Juliette\u2019 or Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution<\/em> lipstick in \u2018Sexy Sienna\u2019, or perhaps even a neon pink such as Maybelline \u2018Fuchsia Flash\u2019 if you\u2019re feeling brave!<\/p>\n Image by Shooting Beauty<\/p>\n Body make-up \u2013 which was very popular in the nineties and early noughties \u2013 is making a real comeback at the moment!<\/p>\nTANNING TIPS<\/h2>\n
