We checked with one of our favorite beauty experts, Mally Roncal of Mally Beauty, who gave us some fabulous pointers on how to achieve that look before we even get to the beach.

You have to have that all-important bronzer!

The most natural looking way to apply is to actually begin on the jaw line, just behind your ear. Gently smooth and swirl the product all the way across your jaw line and all around the perimeter of the face. Don’t forget your hairline, your temples and even the hallow of your cheeks. Then you can do a light dusting across the forehead, nose, and chin. This will give you a natural glow.
To balance out the bronze, apply a pinky-peach blush to the apples of the cheeks.

• The rosiness gives it a more realistic finish.
• Add a little shimmer powder to the tops of cheekbones and inner corners of the eyes.

Don’t forget the lip!

To top it off, swipe a beautiful sheer pink lipgloss all over your pout. It will tie the whole look together.

Clearly, this cannot remain the case. So, I turned to Mally Roncal of Mally Beauty for advice on what I can do to remedy this situation – fast!

If you share my (sad, sad!) problem, here’s what Mally says you should be doing right now:

* Take a flat concealer brush and dab concealer underneath the eyes. (Try Mally Beauty Cancellation Concealer System).
* Then, gently begin to smooth it under your eye.
* Only put the concealer where you need it. For example, only dab the concealer where you have darkness, avoiding the lines as that skin is lighter there. (Remember, less is more!)
* If you are feeling a little extra tired, dab a bit on the inside of the bridge of your nose or apply shadow to inner corners of the eyes. Soft pinks, golds and silvers work best.
* Set the concealer with translucent powder. Try Mally Beauty Eye Light Setting Powder, which sets the concealer and brightens under the eye.
