Bronzers for Brown Skin Because Brown Girls Can Be Bronzed Too!

There’s nothing that gets me more excited about summer beauty than the bronzed and golden make-up but many people just assume it’s lighter skinned people who enjoy a golden hue to their skin but, that simply just isn’t true. I guess I could say that I have a tan all year round but even the darkest of skin can lack the sun’s golden touch and in that case, bronzers are a brown girls best friend.

Whether the bronzer is matte or has a shimmer to it, it’ll still look fabulous on darker skin but I personally think that when worn properly, shimmery bronzer gives the skin a look that just cannot be matched.

Apply the blushes that’d suit to you most to the skin tone that you match the closest. Many of these blushes can be worn regardless of skin tone; a good example is NARS’ Casino. Another bronzer that looks great on most skin tones is the Soleil Tan De Chanel (it may be too light for very dark skin). E.l.f’s Essential Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Warm Tan works well on light to medium toned skin and can be used as a highlighter on darker skin.

Dior Addict Extreme Lipsticks in Black Tie & Paparazzi | My Weekly Loves

So, I have two Weekly Loves but at least they’re the same product, but just in different shades! Dior’s latest offering, their Addict Extreme Lipsticks are exactly what I’d look for in a lipstick; moisturising, pigmented and there’s a wide range of shades (17 to be precise) going from almost beige/nude Incognito (depending on what your skin tone is..) to the deep and dramatic Black Tie.

Whenever I shop around for lipsticks, I’m instantly drawn to the shades that tend to be bold, deep and dark so Black Tie was an obvious choice for me because of its dark blackberry/raspberryish tone. The second is Paparazzi which is your light strawberry-type shade. It’s a very subtle pink which is perfect for everyday if that’s your thing.

PROS?

There’s really no need to ensure your lips are moisturised before applying the Dior Addict Extreme lipstick.

The colour range is perfect, Dior has narrowed down a selection of shades down to a tee. Incognito is far too nude for me but, someone who’d prefer deeper shades definitely isn’t let down.

You can build up the intensity of the lipstick from slightly sheer to full on colour.

It has the prettiest scent; not entirely sure what the scent is but it’s a typical Dior scent.
