Make up summery update ...

So a couple of weeks ago I posted my 7 step make up routine, I have a little addition to make. Bronzer!

If you are like me and you tan quite easily you will know that once you get a tan your makeup all goes to pot. See the colours you would normally wear don't look quite right and your foundation isn't the right shade.

Enter bronzer ... this can even out foundation and add a little extra tan tint. The only downside can be finding the right one. Its a bit like finding a blush they come in shades, tints and types. I've always had a bit of  a problem finding a nice bronzer thats not too sparkly or orange!

Last summer it was so warm that I decided to forgo foundation most days and just wanted a powder but most of them were too light for my newly bronzed skin. I tired using my usual bronzer as an overall powder but its a it too sparkly for everyday wear. Now if you read my above post you will know I'm a bit fan of drugstore make up and so I searched in every Boots & Superdrug looking at different shades and tones. I couldn't find anything!!

Then when we were on holiday down south with fiancés family I went into superdrug with his sister and she showed me the 2true collection. This is usually on a turning stand so I hadn't looked at it before, they have a lot of nail varnish (which you will note in a previous post I have some of)  and other face bits, everything is about £1.99 so really good price. V was looking for nail varnish but I spotted the bronzers and picked one up. Just so happens this was exactly what I was looking for!!

This has a really nice colour and isn't shiny/sparkly at all so you can use it as an overall power without getting the tanned twilight vampire look going on hehe At the minute I'm a little bit tan but its not nearly warm enough to just be rocking bronzer and sunnies so instead I have been using it to contour.

This is basically where you use a different shade to define different areas of your face, its a bit like highlighting your cheeks with blush. I take a blusher brush and apply a little bronzer to the edge of my face by my hair line then down the side of my face then along my jaw line. I also use just a little either side of my nose ... not too much or you look a bit odd and we dont want random mide face tide lines where foundation ends and bronzer begins hehe

So if your looking for a summer tan powder for a light coverage or just for a bronzer to contour with take a look at 2True in Superdrug.
