Bronzed, sun-kissed looking skin will forever be the hero of any summer makeup routine.
Everyone’s after the look of freshly tanned, flushed, just-got-back-from-the-beach type skin. While it’s no excuse to skip sunscreen, this look is so natural and lived-in, and it looks beautiful on everyone.
For a realistic flush, the secret is getting that warmth without any heaviness. Think sheer, buildable color that mimics the way the sun actually hits your face: a little more on the cheeks and a touch on the nose. This summer, the most effortless iteration of the trend leans into soft, sun-warmed peach tones on your cheeks and lips that read like a freshly tanned glow.
Get the Look
STEP 1: Start with prepped skin. Apply your foundation to clean, moisturized skin using a dense brush. Tap your brush into the compact, and with a light hand, apply to cheeks. Buff and blend.
STEP 2: Add a bit of bronze. Using a light hand, apply a darker shade of your foundation (usually three shades darker than what you wear in No Makeup Makeup® works) using that same dense brush. Apply to cheekbones, temples, jawline and tap a tiny bit on the nose to add a dimensional bronze.
STEP 3: Sweep on peach blush. Using an angled blush brush, lightly swipe a terracotta peach shade across the cheeks and up towards the temples. Build it up slowly for a sunkissed glow. A cream-balm formula works best for the most natural look.
STEP 4: Add warmth to the eyes. Swipe that same peach shade on the lid to tie everything together.
STEP 5: Finish with peach lip color. Tap and build on a soft, peachy nude lipstick for a diffused, warm lip look that lasts all day and night. This formula never settles into lip lines, bleeds or fades – and keeps your lips hydrated even in the hot summer months. No lipliner needed!
