5 Makeup Products That Give You A Real Summer Glow

Getting a tan is straight up hard, and every woman who doesn’t live near a sunny beach knows this for a fact. If you’re doing it sans the sun, you can easily find yourself marinating in a lot of unpleasant smells and even then you can end up looking like an orange — or the current president. And even if you do manage to get a sunny day, you have to run the fine line of not turning into a lobster.

And that’s where tanning lotions and makeup products come in. Even though they’ll only last you until your next shower, makeup products truly are god’s send for tanning solutions, and we’ve found what we believe to be the best five. So sit back, relax, and let us sell you on these makeup products that will be sure to get you a real summer glow.

1. NARS Monoi Body Glow

Not only is this lotion made by NARS themselves (which have great other makeup products in case your out of the loop) but it’s also used for shimmery, tanned finishes to runway models. What more could you ask for? How about smelling like you just stepped off of the plane from the best island vacay of your life? Because of the monoi oil inside that little bottle, you’re guarunteed to get that coconut breeze scent. Get a bottle of this product online, or in any major makeup store, like Sephora.

2. M.A.C. Studio Face and Body

If you’re looking for a full-body coverage makeup product, you’ve come to the right place. M.A.C.’s studio face and body foundation gives you the full coverage you need for a completely even tan, and washes off perfectly in the shower afterwards. Be sure to blend this product with a shimmer oil to add dimension to your tan. You can find this product online, or at a M.A.C. store.

3. Sally Hansen Airbrush

This is by far the best (and cheapest) drug store option without buying something that’ll make your legs orange. It also happens to be a favourite of Kim Kardashian! Without being to glittery or intense, this product has full coverage and leaves you with a soft tanned look like you’re wearing stockings. If using the mist, make sure to hold it a few inches from your legs for an even tan! You can find this product in any drug store, including Shoppers Drug Mart or London Drugs.

4. Prtty Peaushun

Legend has it that celebrity makeup artist, Bethany Karlyn, used to carry around a homemade body makeup of her own creation in a tupperware container to photoshoots for clients like Gwyenth Paltrow, until everyone urged her to make it a sellable product. She listened, and Prtty Peaushun was born. This dewy, tinted moisturizer gives you a great tan but also hugs the definition of your muscles, making you look more fit than you ever dreamed. With it’s smooth application, it’s no wonder this makeup product is so popular. Get this product online on Prtty Peaushun’s website!

5. Votre Vu Silk Stockings

This is a great glow lotion that goes on like a normal moisturizer, making it easy to apply and easy to wash off (which can be a total issue). It also makes it easier to make yourself several shades darker if you really want to, you just have to wait for it to dry. This is one of the best makeup products and tanning lotions for beginners, and you won’t get any streaks or weird glitter stains. Scout’s honour. Find this product online or in stores like Sephora.
