Tutorial: Sun-kissed Face Without the Tanners

Woman applying bronzer

Summertime makeup is all about the golden glow.  As we wind the summer down and head into Back-to-School season, I, for one, am interested in keeping the look of a sun-kissed face for a while longer!  I asked Loren Ridinger, creator of Motives by Loren Ridinger makeup line, to share with us her tips for achieving a beautiful glow.  Here are her tips:

The four main elements to a pretty and natural looking sun–kissed face (minus the self-tanner) are:

  • a quality brush
  • a good bronzer
  • a good moisturizer
  • natural light


A good, soft brush will help the bronzer go on smoothly, not blotchy. Also, be sure to choose the right bronzer for your skin tone. I usually go two shades darker than my natural skin tone. My shade: Motives® bronzer in Miami Glow.

Follow these tips for a perfect glow:

  1. Always apply bronzer in natural light. Over application can create orange skin; this is exactly the look you’re trying to avoid!
  2. Apply a moisturizer first to avoid streaking. Be sure to apply it minimally, otherwise your skin may end up looking dirty.
  3. Swirl your brush in the bronzer and tap it on the back of your hand to remove any excess powder.
  4. Apply the bronzer to the areas of the face that the sun would naturally hit: forehead, down the nose, along the cheeks, and on your chin. Blend well.
