I’ll admit that I usually don’t like blue eye shadow. Though it looks great on some women, it always seems so 80s to me that I don’t venture too much into it.

Check out the video below.
The products that she uses on her eyes include:

If you are trying to get a sunkissed look that is very natural, I recommend checking out the Park Avenue Princess shade of Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer. It’s a light yellow-ish gold that is pearly and nice.
You can find this bronzer at Tarte Cosmetics directly, drugstore.com, Sephora and other retailers for $28.
The compact is really cute. It features a bronze faux-croc cover and a little gold chain, making it look like a mini handbag. Inside you will find a smooth bronzer powder that is really silky. But be careful with it. This bronzer is highly pigmented, so it’s easy to …read more
