That 'Kissed by the Sun' Look

So, if you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know my skin is rather on the pale side, so I will do anything to make myself look more 'alive'.  And while there isn't much sun outside & I don't have enough patience (or time at the moment!) to apply fake tan, I need something to make my face look like it's been kissed by the sun! 
And what better than one of my favourite make up brands at the moment to give me that glow - Makeup Revolution! 

I'm always hearing (& reading) so many good things about their collection & slowly creating quite a collection for myself, so I had to try their vivid baked bronzer in the shade 'Golden Days'.  It's an amazing £4.00 & comes in 3 other shades - 'Ready to Go', 'Rock on World' & 'Fame'. 

 

I apply it either as a contour for the hollows of my cheeks, or I give a general dusting all over my face. And I always apply down my neck (now, that IS pale!) to give it a subtle glow.  

It really is a lovely easy shade to wear without making you look orange.  And, if you are pale like me, you don't want a dramatic orangey look & you definitely don't with this.  If you do fancy a more dramatic look though, & have the skin tone to take it, I have read that you can do this by applying the bronzer with a wet brush.

So, for me, I think this is one of the best bronzers I've tried out lately.  I've used it lots already & it still looks almost like new as my photos show.  The packaging is smart but simple, it gives a good colour pay off & at a bargain price too....what's not to love? 

Have you tried this or any other of the shade range?  Or is there another bronzer you like or even prefer?  I'd love to know! 

Thanks!

MAKEUP REVOLUTION HIGHLIGHTER

I must admit, I'm obsessed with highlighters! Anything that makes my cheekbones stick out is always a winner with me! 

Now, if you haven't heard of Makeup Revolution, where have you been? I've tried various palettes (which I'm sure I will share with you!) & I've never been disappointed.  The quality is excellent & such great value.  How do they make them so cheap?! 

Anyway, back to my latest purchase....

I had bought their 'Radiance' highlighter palette which (correct me if I'm wrong!) is a perfect dupe for the 'Hourglass' Ambient Light highlighting palette & I've already hit pan in one of the colours, but I wanted to try another of their offerings.  So, I went for the 'Vivid Baked' highlighter in 'Golden Lights' & again, not disappointed. In fact, this highlighter & probably because it's baked is even more pigmented. 

The quality of the packaging is great with 7.5g of product.  The colour is very pretty & suits my pale complexion, giving it a subtle brightness.  And, as I've said before, since it is so pigmented, you really don't need to apply much to your brush. (Unless you want a major 'strobing' effect of course!!) 

It's only £3 (amazing!) & comes in 2 other colours - 'Peach Lights' & 'Pink Lights'.....hmmm....I may just have to go for the peach next.....how about you?
