One of the hottest looks for the season is the blushed and bronzed look, which adds a pop of color and a touch of glow to your complexion. It's important to start with glowing skin! Try

Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base as a moisturizer. It is important to start with a hydrating lotion to keep the skin plump and smooth fine lines. Then we follow with Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint, blending in with your fingers to keep a natural base. Finishing by spot concealing any blemishes or imperfections using Kosas Cloud Concealer. When these products are all combined and blended together, you will have a beautiful, natural, & dewy finish.

Other products recommended for a Glowing Complexion. • First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream • Ilia Beauty Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 • Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

To get the perfect blushed cheek, try Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Believe, a radiant, peachy shade. This buildable formula is perfect for creating a natural flush that lasts all day. Simply Tap 2 dots of color on the apple of your cheeks and blend upwards on your cheekbone with your fingers or a beauty sponge. I like to also take whatever is left on my fingers from blending and apply it to my lips and top off with a clear gloss for a just bitten, sheer wash of color.

Other products recommended for a Radiant Blushed Cheek.

• Nars Liquid Blush in Orgasm • Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Pink Pop • Danessa Myricks Beauty Vision Flush Blush

To complement the flushed cheek, a brushed up brow is a must. First, use Lancôme's Sourcils Styler Brow Gel in clear to really separate the brows and then brush them upwards. Then, use Fenty Beauty's Brow MVP Ultra Fine Brow Pencil using small flicks and light pressure to really focus on any sparse areas for a natural finish and defined shape.

Other products recommended for a brushed up brow.

• Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter in Clear • Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze • MAC Eye Brows Styler Pencil

Finally, it's time to highlight and bronze the skin. For a luxurious finish, try Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream in Soleil Tan Bronze. This versatile product can be used to contour, add warmth to the skin, or simply add a touch of color to the skin. I love to apply to the just below the cheekbones, temples, forehead, and jawline for a sun-kissed glow. A fun trick is to hit it just over the bridge of the nose for that sun kissed look, perfect for summer. Finish with Dior Backstage Glow Face palette on the top of the cheekbones for an illuminated lit from within glow.

Other products recommended for a highlighted & Bronzey finish. • Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Palette • Nars Bronzing Powder in Laguna • Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter

All of these products will complete the blushed and bronzed look and have you feeling confident and summer ready with a flirty and natural glow!
