Gorgeous Eve is an olympic swimmer who knows a thing or two about looking great in a bathing suit! Although looking amazing comes naturally to her, a little makeup placed strategically can really make her beauty shine.

This is a great look if you want that,” I just spent the day at the beach look” without the sun damage!

To create this look:

1ca0c537e030a5c887bd08659adafc88_best1/ Warm up the skin with a tinted moisturizer or BB cream in a shade that is slightly warmer than your winter shade, but make sure to blend into your neck and chest if they are pale. The trick is to blend well so it looks like it’s part of your skin.

Using the dark shade from the Bronze & Glow palette by Charlotte Tilbury, blend under the cheekbones and along the temples for a touch of contour. Then using a fluffy brush dust bronzer across the cheeks and the bridge of nose, chin and forehead lightly. Hit all the spots where the sun hits you. You want an all over warmth so make sure your bronzer doesn’t have sparkle and is not too orange. Check out more of my bronzer tips here. You can even blend it in the crease of your eyelids to add a lift to the eye.

Add a touch of light by applying the light shade on tops of cheekbones, on the inner corners of the eyes and even across the lids, so when you lower your eyes you catch the light.

Add peach blush just on the apples of the cheeks to add a warm youthful flush.

Use a q-tip to blend the line well, and make your eyes smolder. Line just the top lid for that slightly sleepy lid look,very sexy!  Curl lashes and apply mascara.(waterproof if it’s super humid)

For this look I filled in her eyebrows softly with a brow powder for definition.

Here’s a Brunette I made up using the same lip shade: 304

For that beach hair look, rough dry hair with sea salt spray. Give it some waves with a 1 inch curling iron and fishtail braid on one side. The messier the better….it looks lived in and sexier, like you just had a day on the beach rolling in the surf.
