1. Invest in a tinted moisturizer
Switch out your heavy winter foundations for a light tinted moisturizer with SPF. This will give your skin a nice base without the cakiness or fear of melty-skin when the weather heats up. We recommend this viral one from Saie.
2. Layer on the body shimmer and oils
To achieve that goddess glow, starting with your skin is a must. Invest in a body oil with shimmer that will make you look like you just bathed in gold. You can find one like this from PATRICK TA, or if you want a more budget-friendly option, you can make your own by following this DIY.
3. Go heavy handed with the bronzer
Don’t be afraid to get bold with the bronzer, as long as it is the right shade for your skin tone. Applying bronzer to all the parts of your face that would naturally catch the sun and using it as a contour-double makes you look as radiant as the Greek goddesses.
4. Play with rose gold and golden highlights
Avoid cool tones like the plague if you want to achieve a bronzed look. Trade champagne and moonstone highlights for rose gold and golden highlighter in warmer months. Shades like this one from Rare Beauty or this one from Bobbi Brown are perfect for getting the look.
5. Choose Earthy and peach-toned blushes
Again, sticking to warmer shaders is necessary for executing this makeup look well. Blushes are vital in making the other products come together, so consider colors that will make you look sunkissed and not flushed from the cold. This means terracotta shades like this one from Saie or peachy tones like this from Merit.
6. Brighten the inner eyes
To emphasize that other-worldly look and play with luminosity, consider adding some highlights to the inner corners of your eyes. The highlighter you have on hand works just fine, or try this eyeshadow shimmer stick from Laura Mercier or this cheaper option from ColourPop.
7. Use gloss for the lips
No lipstick is needed in this makeup look. A nice gloss will do just fine to pull everything together. Since this look plays on a natural look more, gloss will enhance your lips but not make it appear as though you are trying to make your makeup the main attraction. Glossy lips will also make you look hydrated and refreshed on even the hottest summer days. Our recommendation is this gloss from Tower.
8. Bonus: style some beach waves
Finally, hair can play an important role in pulling the entire look together. To look like Aphrodite emerging from the sea herself, go for some beach waves. This will create a light, flowy and radiant look — in essence, a real bronzed goddess.
