Hi friends and fellow beauty lovers! For quite some time now, I have been considering starting a blog, all about beauty, fashion and lifestyle. But why not share some of my favorite beauty and fashion tips right here, in my new series "Primping with Paige." Cute, right?
So, for today's topic, I want to talk about everyone's favorite summer time look, luminous and bronzed. Everyone wants to look glow-y and sun-kissed, but also like they put minimal to no effort in, I get it. Here are some of my top tips and products to get the look you've been longing for:
So let's start off with the face, where else would we start?
You want to set the glow before you apply any foundation or powder because you want the glow to be beaming throughout every spot underneath your foundation. Never on top because you don't want to look like you just came out of the sauna, you feel me?
I know some of us, including myself are balling on a budget, so I am going to recommend both drugstore and high-end products that are perfect.
1. Primer
Both of these primers work great to give your skin a natural yet beautiful glow.
BECCA Backlight Priming Filter $38.00- http://www.sephora.com/backlight-priming-filter-P3...
L'oréal Paris True Match Lumi $10.99- http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=558...
2. Foundation
I'm going to give three options ranging in coverage and formula. Some people like lighter foundations for daytime and heavier ones for nighttime or special occasions. The L'oréal Pro Glow is fairly new to the market, and even though it is drugstore, it works amazing.
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation $39.00 http://www.sephora.com/rainforest-the-sea-water-fo...
L'oréal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation $12.99 -http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?...
it Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream $38.00 -http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?...
For the best and most luminous application, I suggest applying any of these with a damp beauty blender, and to set, just take a light layer of your favorite translucent powder!
3. Bronzer
Both of these bronzers are perfect for giving you a sun-kissed look. Creamy, yet lightweight and the perfect color.
Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel $50.00 - http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/makeu...
Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer $14.99 -http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?...
In the summer, I don't put a lot of eye makeup on unless I am going somewhere fancy. I usually just grab any waterproof mascara and go!
4. Highlighter
Ah, my favorite part. Highlighter just makes me feel complete, ya know? I love looking like a disco ball. There has been one palette that is my go-to when I want to look glo'd up. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit saved my life, and I'd say it is worth every penny.

Final step, throw your favorite lip gloss on and you're ready to slay the day.
