Vivalaglammakeup: Gorgeous Golden Skin

Jersey Shore influenced our culture in so many ways; high teased hair, fist pumping, abs, situations, a love for being Italian, parting, but most of all being tan! Between the weekly tanning salon visits to the excessive amounts of bronzer they put on there face it's pretty astonishing to see how tan someone really can look. But although that show makes us laugh, almost peeing in our pants from laughing so hard, most of us aren't Snooki and can't pull off that look.

When done tastefully bronzer can really transform you into a glowing goddess, and I mean that literally. It's the new craze for summer and like Rachel Zoe would say "It's Bananas," meaning its to die for. Now sadly we have to have the "talk." Don't worry this blog is PG-13 so not the talk your thinking of, the bronzer talk that is. When you see a girl and words like fake and bake and oompa loompa go threw your head its usually because a girls tan looks so fake and overdone. Never ever put that much bronzer on your face where you could even resemble a oompa loompa because some people say there's a positive to everything but honey, there is not one positive thing about that.

Finding the right type of bronzer:
Light Skin Tones- Stick to light brown bronzers with beige undertone so it doesn't make you look muddy or orange.

Medium Skin Tones- Go with a gold or brown bronzer to make your skin look glowy and fresh.

Darker Skin Tones- Brown bronzers with darker undertones really make your face look sunny and dewy.

Now for the golden question, How to apply bronzer tastefully?

I apply bronzer using this method:

1)Pick up the bronzer with a slanted blush/bronzing brush. Shake excess off. Then apply the bronzer from your upper cheekbone all the way down to your chin then back up the other cheek. This way creates a V.

2)Without getting any more bronzer sweep your nose and your forehead.

3)Don't forget to get your neck! That's one of my biggest pet peeves when people don't have their neck color matching their face color! So trashy, not at all classy.
