It may be the middle of winter, but that doesn’t mean that your skin has to be pale and lifeless. Although you won’t likely be soaking up the sun’s rays anytime soon, you can get the same glow by using bronzer in strategic places on your face – and it won’t look fake!

Marie Claire magazine recommends choosing a bronzer that’s only one or two shades darker than your skin tone. This will ensure that the color looks natural. Too Faced – California In A Compact comes with an array of shades so you can get it right every time.

Use the bronzer to lightly dust the areas of your face that the sun typically hits. This includes your forehead, the bridge of your nose and your cheekbones. A Super Powder Brush will ensure a flawless application each time.

You can enhance the effect by adding a bit of highlighter onto these areas on top of the bronzer. You’ll look like you have a fresh glow without any tell-tale signs that you faked it!
