Nothing I like better than a bunch of neon and a Beatles shirt.  That's why I own about five outfits very similar to this.  The neon says 'look at me!' while the graphic tee says 'I'm chill and I know it!' Don't even get me started on the skinny jeans-- ADORBS. I've always wanted to paint one of my walls black and white vertical stripes, but of course that isn't gonna happen.  So how do I make up for it? I wear it on my legs!

Bronzer, baby!

 
For most people, summer is about tanning by the pool and playing in the ocean.  For some not-so-fortunate ladies, summer is more of a busy work schedule.  If this is the case, you probably don't get to spend much time sun-bathing and roasting your skin until it's just the right shade of bronze.  That's what bronzer is for.  For making sure we don't stick out like a pale, sore thumb in a crowd of tan ones. Yes, bronzer is perfectly acceptable during the summer! Most people mark it off as a winter cosmetic because of how it is used to create a warm effect, but us ladies have our ways of pulling it off year-round!☺

Choosing the right shade: 
It is very important to make sure you pick a shade of bronzer that matches your skin tone.  If you pick something too dark, you may end up looking like something that very much resembles an Umpa Lumpa! If you pick a shade that's too light, there will be no difference and it will possibly even make you look paler than you already are. And you thought that wasn't possible!

The two types of bronzer:
There are two types of bronzer you can purchase: cream or powder.  Cream is not quite as popular as powder, but is still just as effective. It gives more of a natural look and is applied with your fingers.  This type of bronzer must be applied after your regular foundation because it is, after all, cream.  Powder is much easier to apply and is preferred among people with oily skin.  After applying your regular foundation, take a large bristly brush and collect some powder on the end.  Tap the brush on your hand to take some excess product off and apply along your jaw-line, cheekbones and temples. If you're desperate, add a bit to the tip of your nose!

Right on!
