Bronzer Emergency

Ohhhhhh.....what a wonderful intro! Hello Skanks! I am the beauty writer and as previously stated, I am very opinionated about all things beauty. I'll be blogging once a week so don't miss out on everything I have to say about products I love (there are many), products I hate (there are many more), celebrity hits and misses, beauty tips and tricks and whatever else I decide to blather on about!

So, I had a great post all ready to go but there have been some true crimes against makeup in the past week that NEED to be addressed.

Ummmmm, what tha? It's hard to even find words for this. Now, you'll come to find out, I love a good cheek. I think blush and bronzer add a lot. they can make you look fresh, younger, thinner, more tanned and modern and add polish to any look. This however is rancid! This looks like a maroon blush a la 1980's applied with a heavy hand in the wrong place. THIS IS NOT WHERE BLUSH GOES! It's also way to dark for her skin tone. I feel like she wanted to look sophisticated and older (Sara: Or didn't have the motor skills to apply because she's too tweaked) but missed the mark completely. Remember that bronzer should be a natural tone (gold for fair skin, brown for dark). Not red, not orange and not maroon. You can lightly dust a bronzer all over and use it to contour under the cheek bone. Blush goes on the apple of the cheek and NO WHERE else. I highly recommend Smashbox bronzers. They are very easy to use and give a beautiful glow to any skin color.

Sara: Isn't she fabulous? Remember, you can send questions to skankopolis@gmail.com
