Discover a healthy, glowing complexion, as Lancôme experts reveal their secrets to a naturally bronzed look sans UV rays with the look of Tropiques Muse.

Face:

Maquicomplet Doré – When applying mineral powder foundation, apply concealer first. Place a small amount of product on the back of your hand (the hand opposite the one you write with). Pick up a small amount of makeup using Concealer Brush #8. Draw a line starting at the inner corner of the eye, tracing the edge of any undereye darkness. Use the tip of the brush to softly blend towards the lash line without disturbing the delicate skin around the eyes.

Ageless Minérale Natural Sable 10 – Twist the sifter, tap some powder foundation into the lid and apply all over your face in circular motions using Ageless Minérale Mineral Powder Foundation Brush. Repeat for additional, buildable coverage.

Blush Subtil Botanic Glow – For those with round or square faces, apply blush to the apples of the cheeks. For those with long or oval faces, place color below the cheekbones and blend straight back towards the hairline. For the most natural, blended application, use Cheek Brush #6 when you first apply the blush. Reserve the mini applicator in the compact for touchups.

Tropiques Minérale Loose Bronzer Natural Ambre – Apply foundation, powder, and blush as usual-then as a last step, dust the loose bronzer to the highpoints of your face for a sunkissed glow allowing your cheek color to naturally come through. Bronzer Brush #5 is the perfect tool for this step.

Tropiques Minerale Pressed Bronzer SPF 15 Natural Sunkiss – For touching up your look on the go, or to get an extra bit of color without adding shine, this pressed matte bronzer is portable and can even be used on the body.


Eyes:

Le Crayon Khôl Kajal Midnight Glimmer – To keep the eye pencil from smudging, first apply a very light touch of Aquatique Waterproof Eyecolor Base with your finger or Concealer Brush #8. Apply liner close to the lash line and blend with the tip of Blending Tip Brush #16. Eye shadow, applied next, will help to set the liner in place for longer wear.

Color Design Quad Bronze Midnight - The lightest color in the palette is for highlighting or bringing part of your eye forward. The darkest color is for lining your eyes or for intense contouring. Use the other two shades as your all over color for your lid or crease color. You can always customize the intensity and placement depending if you want a day or evening look.

Définicils Mascara Black -- For added length, separation, and lash definition, Définicils is the time tested favorite. For even more length and volume, plus lash conditioning, apply Cils Booster XL for perfectly primed lashes.


Lips:

Le Lipstique Sheer Nude – For a natural looking, long wearing look, trace along your natural lip line with the waterproof pencil and fill in the entire mouth. Use the built-on brush to blend if needed.

Color Fever Shine Nude Lustre – Apply two coats of this sheer, wet-looking lip color for a perfect pout infused with a summer ready pearl finish.

Juicy Tubes PURE Rose Water – Use the built-on brush from the Le Lipstique Sheer Nude pencil or Retractable Lip Brush #9 to highlight the center of the mouth and create naturally juicy looking shine.
