NARS Casino: A Beautiful, Healthy Tan in a Compact!!

NARS Casino is probably my favorite bronzing powder!! It's darker than Laguna, so I tend to use it a lot more. I love how NARS bronzers tend to be truly brown-based... they won't leave you looking weird or muddy or worst of all, ORANGE hahahahahaha... Casino is my go to bronzer right now as well- It's gorgeous for applying to the parts of my face that need extra shadowing. It has a subtle golden bronze sparkle, but that doesn't really show up on the skin, so it looks completely natural (if used correctly). Casino really is like having a healthy tan in a compact!! What do you think? :]

NARS Laguna: An Amazing Bronzing Powder

NARS Laguna Bronzer has been a staple in my makeup collection for years!! I love using this bronzing powder as an all over bronzer just to warm up the places on my face that the sun would naturall hit. It also makes a great contouring powder when I'm paler or don't want to look toooooooo dramatic and overly contoured. Sometimes I'll even use this as an eyeshadow just all over this lids :] It's a gorgeous medium bronzey brown- it's not too light or too dark, not too orange or too yellow. There's subtle shimmer in it that shows up in the pan, but I really don't see it on my face once it's on, so it's super-natural looking :] Do you use Laguna?? Let me know what you think about it!!

MAC Peachtwist Blush

MAC's Peachtwist is a Sheertone Shimmer Blush... It was one of my impulse buys on a makeup shopping trip a few months ago. The color is kind of a bronzey peach... It's warm-toned and has some slight shimmer to it. It's a really nice pretty color if you have a nice tan going on- it's kinda peachy brown and has a really nice sheen to it. On me it looks like a nice glowing terra-cotta shade, almost like bronzer. It really warms up the complexion and gives a real beachy feel... I think it's a color that looks much prettier on the skin than in the pan, you know what I mean? If you don't already have it, check it out!!! It might be your perfect Summer-time blush!!

Hoola Bronzing Powder by Benefit

Hoola is a really nice natural looking matte bronzing powder by Benefit. I like that it's not too light and not too dark. You can choose to either sweep it on very sheerly on places where the sun would naturally hit your face, or pack it on all over for a really beachy bronzey tan. I use Hoola to contour sometimes, when I need just the right amount of color. I'm not a big fan of the cardboard packaging and the tiny little flimsy brush, but the bronzer itself is just the perfect tan color with just the right amount of pigmentation so it doesn't make you look muddy or sunburnt. I like that it's just a light brown, and it's not really too pink or too orange or too yellow or anything like that. Anyone else love Hoola? You can pick it up for $25 at Sephora, and the link is provided below :]
