As someone who only wears makeup a few times a week—usually once for work and on the weekends—I’ve realised I don’t need a full drawer of products. Just a few essentials are enough to freshen up my look! I like to keep my routine quick and simple, without getting overwhelmed by too many choices.

To get that flawless makeup look the perfect bronzer is imperative. The object is to highlight what you love & the higher points of the face while using a contour aka darker shade to add dimension and shadows to the face to create the look of things like higher cheekbones and a more defined chin and nose. Here is my list of Bronzers and contours that will do that and more for the face and body to give you that all over bronzed sculpted look all year round from head to toe!
I have 2B - 3A hair and learning how to manage it was SOO difficult, but after a LOT of trial and error these are all the products that proved worthy to me

My basic every day look includes all skin prep steps, light bronzer on my: cheeks; hairline; and eyes, a small amount of natural toned blush on my cheeks and eyes, mascara, lip liner stain and balm, finishing off with setting spray.
I only get 5-10 minutes to get myself ready after getting TWO kids ready.
