Try Max factor’s Max Colour Effect Mono Eye Shadow in Golden Bronze, which is priced at £4.99 and will work to add that little golden shimmer to your peepers that can be dressed up or dressed down.  Either wear with lashings of mascara and a dark liner for a full on evening effect or alternatively with a little natural brown mascara for a day-time beachy look!

Make sure you apply a little bronzer to the face as well, by dusting the temples and the bridge of your nose not too heavily you will be able to create a look that screams ‘golden goddess, as this is where the sun naturally hits the face.  You may have cheated your way to a tan but by applying it correctly you will be able to fool anyone!

Finally finish the look off with a little matte lip colour on the lips in order to create a summery style.  Coral and peach colours are great for summer and will work really well with uber tanned skin without going over board on the whole make-up ensemble.

Try either one of the following, Max Factor Max Colour Effect Gloss cube in peach rose or alternatively a more orangey shade for an evening on the town, both are priced at £5.99 and each are the perfect size to slide into your handbag

A little will make a lot of shimmer, so dab on sparingly for best results.  The product is best used as a highlighter on the cheekbones, rather than applied all over the face.

You can alternatively mix the facial glow with your standard liquid foundation, foundations that work especially well are Clinique’s Superbalanced Make-up or Avon’s Ideal Shade, and this technique works to give a more radiant complexion.

As is standard of most of the Benefit products the Benefit Hollywood Glo Finishing Touch Facial Glow comes in an aesthetically pleasing packaging and the bottle will look great on the dressing table.

This product can be sourced online and is great for either an evening or daytime look depending how you choose to apply the formula.

Benetint by Benefit is a cheek and lip stain, which acts as an alternative to blusher and lipstick.  Benetint offers a liquid stain to the skin and lips in both natural tones and shades.  Lip and cheek stains are a lot more long-lasting and give a more natural rosy look, as opposed to the powdery look that is often created when using blusher.

Benetint is one of the most popular cheek and lip stains on the market to date; this is possible because of the versatility and natural shade of the Benetint formula. It is suitable for both extremely pale complexions as well as tanned and bronzed skin tones. The stain gives a natural and flushed colour which is unanimously suited to all skin tones.  The Benetint product boasts to achieve a natural and youthful glow, and also claims to be suitable for all age ranges.

Benefit products are obtainable from beauty counters in most major department stores, and also in selected Boots stores.  Benetint is priced at a total of £22.50, but for a noticeable result only a little product is required.

The Benetint formula is housed in a round glass bottle with an entirely transparent finish.  This is especially useful if you require knowing how much product you have left.  The bottle has a white plastic screw top lid with a brush attached to the inside base, this resembles that of a nail polish brush and enables ease of use.  The brush bristles are very soft and thin in style and won’t irritate the skin.

The formula is a deep red shade but once applied to the skin appears much lighter and creates a radiant rosy glow.  If you desire a darker shade, especially when applying the product to the lips, simply add a few more coats of Benetint to the desired area.

Whenever you feel like this then its time for a little beauty maintenance which will in turn perk up that dull complexion! The first step of this beauty regime should be to invest in a great facial exfoliating formula or alternatively try a moisturising facial peel. Both products will work to scrub and rid your skin of dead skin cells as well as dirt that has built up over time, resulting in a fresh and awakened complexion that appears both smooth and even in tone.

The next step is to purchase an all over spray tan; an expert at a salon can either apply this at home or alternatively. A spray tan will result in an even and sun kissed glow, making the skin appear both radiant and in good health. Xen tan or St Tropez are some of the most popular products on the market to date and claim to achieve a natural looking tan in minutes that will build up over a few days to create the illusion of that ‘just stepped off the beach’ look.

The final step is to invest in some essential make up pieces; bronzer and highlighter are the perfect pieces for summer and again will result in a healthy facial glow. Lash extensions are also a good investment as by applying these will banish panda eyes and create the illusion of wide-awake and statement peepers.

If you don’t have the time or the patience to apply eyelashes opt for good mascara. L’Oreal’s all new Volume Million Lashes Mascara l claims to achieve eyes that scream look at me by separating each individual lash, in turn creating the effect of more lashes and no clumps at all.

Add a touch of shimmer on both the collarbones and the shoulders in order to create the illusion of a glowing tan rather than a matte look, this process should be completed once you have topped up your tan. ‘To The Beach Bronze Body Oil’ from the cosmetic company MAC is priced at £15.50 and is the perfect product to use if you desire to achieve a healthy sun kissed glow.

To add a little extra to the look finish lips off with a slick of lip gloss, Clarins offer the perfect gloss for summer which comes in the shape of the Instant Sun Light Click & Gloss and claims to achieve a shimmering look that will catch the light. The Instant Sun Light Click & Gloss is obtainable for a price of £15 and is stocked at a variety of beauty counters nation wide.

The Body Shop has created an alternative to bronzing creams and powders in the form of these Brush-on Beads. The bronzing beads are available in as a powder product and in various hues of shimmering bronze tones.

These iridescent beads have been created using a variety of light diffusing elements and highlighting pearl pigments. All of these elements allow for a sparkling and smooth bronze blush for your face, cheeks and body.

Applying this product is extremely effortless. For best results first cleanse then tone and moisturise your skin. After completing your daily skin care routine apply the bronzing formula over your every day foundation. In order to achieve a smooth and even finish opt for a blusher brush or a dry sponge and then swirl the brush into the bronzing beads and tap off any excess. Sweep the brush or sponge over your face, neck, and any exposed areas that appear above your neckline. You should concentrate on areas that would normally catch the sun such as the cheeks, brows, nose and collar bone. This will create the illusion of a natural glow. Once you have achieved the desired level of colour you can then apply the remainder of your make-up.

This gorgeous product is available in two shades, both a shimmering bronze and a darker buff tone. The darker buff tone will create the appearance of a more subtle tan and is therefore suitable for paler skin complexions.
