Your makeup can be as complicated — or as simple — as you’d like. If you’re in the mood to streamline, then grab your bronzer, and apply it strategically to multiple places. This not only simplifies your routine but also unifies your look. Sweep it on cheeks as a blush-slash-contour, around the edge of your face to add warmth, and in the crease for depth. The result? Easy monochromatic makeup.
Today I’m wearing an old favorite, MAC Give Me Sun Mineralize Skinfinish. It’s a warm medium golden brown with a slight sheen and a finish that looks natural on skin. I’m wearing it on my lids (just in the crease), on my cheeks, across my nose and around the edge of my face.
This natural, fresh look with warm browns and neutrals was easy peasy and took me 15 minutes! The other items I used…
- Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Wheat
- Kevyn Aucoin Super Natural Conceaeler in Medium EC05
- Hourglass Retouching Fluid in Sand
- MAC Costa Riche Liner
- MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash
- Anastasia Beverly Hills in Medium Brown
- MAC Boldly Bare Lip Liner with MAC Spite Lipglass
Building those happiness muscles, day nine
Hiya! It’s time to build those happiness muscles.
Anywho, the two things I’m grateful for today are 1) listening to music first thing in the morning (it always does so much to get my mind right for the day), and 2) stretch videos on YouTube.
Feel free to join me in the comments, if you want.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

You look fabulous Karen, that haircut is everything!
Thanks, Lauren! I had a little help from my T3 large barrel curler!
You do look good, Karen! I don’t know how you do it but you look younger..!
For those with more mature and /or paler skin who still want something to pull it together, I’m using Dr Haushcka Regenerating Day Cream Complexion cream which is also a tinted moisturiser.
Thanks for the tip on the cream, Sarah! And thank you for the nice compliment. Happy Tuesday!
You look fabulous! Please do a quick tutorial on applying the bronzer …..
Hmm, let me see if I can perhaps do something on Instagram and then repost it here. 🙂
Your hair looks especially fabulous in these photos!
Thanks, Erika! That’s the T3 bodywaver doing its magic!
You look beautiful karen, great advice on the bronzer. Will definitely pick one up next time i am at the mall.
I second (third, fourth, fifth??) all the compliments— your hair is on point! Gorgeous!!
Like everyone else has said, you look amazing! You’re making me ashamed that I don’t take 5 minutes in the morning to put on bronzer. HAHA!
