Special events usually require getting fancy and wearing a dress-it also means there's going to be a lot of pictures so those memories can last forever! With that being said...I like my skin to be a bit more golden when I have parties to attend.
Here's what I did to enhance my skin's tone to look like I spent the week in the Bahamas...
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS EXFOLIATE FIRST!!
1. Two days before my event, I used Bare Minerals Faux Tan Body Sunless Tanner
2. The night before the event, I used Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pads
3. The day of the event, I mixed Nars Laguna Body Illuminator ( Or face) with my body lotion
...ALWAYS hydrate the skin with a moisturizer to ensure the skin looks dewy and healthy!

| Hair by Danielle Derksen |
My hair has visited every trend...and while highlights around my face warm up my skin the Hubby prefers my hair rich and dark (which makes me feel more pale).
Danielle did a subtle balayage technique on my head this week-and I've never felt sexier!
It's timeless. I love it. He loves it.

| BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss-Game Changer |
There are a few colors that may remind you of tropical paradise like teals, yellows, and corals. Those colors will always compliment the skin and give the illusion of a deeper tan!
1. Great Nail colors to enhance the skin tone include white, coral, and bronze, and gold/yellow.
2. Lips and cheeks are another way to amp up your tan... I would use anything with a warm undertone! Think yellow/orange or red/orange undertones as well as warm browns (not cool browns that look more mauve).

| False Lashes by Ardell |
When I use false lashes I always grab black! I never thought to change it up with my falsies and use brown! It's softer and more day time appropriate (great for a girlfriend's bridal or baby shower).
It's also a great way to warm up my skin
because...
it pulled out a little bit of green in my hazel eyes!
