S/S 2014 beauty trend: boho bronze

S/S 2014 beauty trend: boho bronze

We all want that lovely bronzed look during the summer months and at the spring/summer 2014 shows, sun-kissed skin was a massive trend.JW Anderson bronzed look

Models at the spring/summer 2014 shows had sun-kissed skin, flushed cheeks and warm tones to give them a just-back-from-holiday glow. This look is all about a natural-looking wash of subtle colour across noses, cheeks, temples and brows, to give models a healthy, outdoorsy look that is casual, not contrived.Emilio Pucci bronzed
