Get the Look for Less: Beautiful Bronze


Bronzer is probably the most important makeup product to use over the summer.  It adds a healthy glow to any skintone and is super easy to apply.  Two of my fave bronzers are LORAC's TANtalizer and Milani's
 
The main difference between the two products?  LORAC's bronzer is a steep $32, while Milani's is only about $9. Both products work the same way, essentially, and look fabulous on.  To use, I took a large, fluffy bronzing brush and blended the shades below my cheekbones (I also wore a highlighter above them).  This enhanced my cheekbones and made my face look incredibly less round.  Yay!  
 
Both products are amazing.  That said, I highly recommend purchasing the Milani bronzer to try out.  It comes in three different shades (whereas LORAC's product only has one color option).  It's so cheap in comparison to LORAC's bronzer that it's definitely worth a try.

If you're a LORAC fanatic (which I admittedly am), this may come as a huge shock to you. Here's a scary fact: most makeup lines are owned by one of only a few companies across the country.  It really makes you stop and think.  When you purchase a high-end product, you are basically paying for the packaging rather than the actual product itself.

The lesson? Try out drugstore brands for things like bronzer, blush, eyeshadow and mascara.  Chances are, you'll spend less money and still look fabulous!
