Keeping The Summer Glow

Posted 09/01/2009 by PJ in Beauty \ 2 comments

After falling in love with an Air Force officer, I left New York City to join him in Omaha, Nebraska. Although he wishes I cooked dinner more often, I'd rather be writing, practicing my photography, reading lifestyle magazines or watching TV. I'm obsessed with my dog, a Maltipoo named Briscoe, and the "On Broadway" and "Alt Nation" stations on Sirius XM. Learn more about me at Somewhere in Middle America.

As summer comes to an end, my search for a bronzer/blush combo begins. I’m normally quite pale, but in the warmer months my freckles become accentuated, and I look as though as I have a bit of color in my face. However, when the season changes and my freckles fade, I’m back to looking ghostly. This year I’ve decided to invest in some bronzer to brighten my face. These are some of my choices:

Philosophy The Supernatural Mineral Blush Duo

Benefit 10

NARS Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo

Do you have any bronzer/blush combination recommendations?

    I love the Benefit face powders, but rather than go for the dual combo, I have the separate Dandelion and Dallas powders which I can layer as I see fit. I also actually own the Nars duo in both Orgasm/Laguna and Sin/Casino, but I almost always favor the Benefit powders instead.

    I always want to wear bronzer, but I haven’t found one that doesn’t look fakey-orange on me. I hear the Benefit ones are good, but I haven’t tried them yet.
