bareMinerals Gen Nude Blonzer: rosy blush and bronzer glow from one powder

How to use it
With a fluffy brush, apply in a W shape across the high points of the face. Start at the outer bridge of the nose and sweep in a U shape down to the apple of the cheek and up toward the temple. Repeat on the other side, then connect the W by sweeping from one cheek, over the nose, to the other.
Add a touch wherever the sun would naturally hit: the tops of the cheeks, upper forehead and temples. Layer two shades for a custom shade, or add a highlighter at the tops of the cheeks for more glow.
