Double Perfection Lumière

The Double Perfection Lumière from Chanel is hands-down my favorite powder makeup. I’ve been using it for years and love the natural and flawless effect it provides. It’s medium to full coverage, but for a lighter full-face application I use a kabuki brush and then use the provided sponge for the areas I need a bit more coverage – under eye area, blemishes, etc.

Here are a few of my favorite products I use to create a subtle and natural looking sun-kissed face. While washing your face and makeup off daily is crucial to healthy skin, it’s also important to exfoliate often. I love, love, love Aveda’s Tourmaline Charged Radiant Skin Refiner.

For a natural looking bronze, I suggest applying Les Beiges on the contours of your cheeks; brushing upward while avoiding the jawline. Finish with a touch around the temples and a sweep of your brush over your nose. Simple and fresh!
