BLUSH:

This trio of blushes from Too Faced is a favorite if you want a little glow with your blush. It’s perfect for a redhead’s skin complexion and gives a lovely luminous glow.

3. Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in ‘Blushing Bride’ or ‘Dollface’, $29

4. Cargo Water Resistant Blush, $26

This stuff has some SERIOUS staying power. It’s the perfect peachy glow that won’t budge during your summer activities. Water, sweat, wind, sun- none of that can move this powder blush. It is highly pigmented, so it doesn’t take much.

BRONZER:

1. Tarte Amazonian Clay Matte Waterproof Bronzer in ‘Park Avenue Princess’‘, $40

It is my go-to daily bronzer in the summer. It gives lovely color without being too orange, dark or ruddy on my skin. I look naturally sun-kissed and that makes every day better. It’s also waterproof. BONUS!

2. Physicians Formula ‘Light Bronze Pearl‘, $8

For the ultimate glow, I love this product. Not only is the price point affordable, but the glow is enviable.

3. The Body Shop ‘Light Matte’ Honey Bronzer, $20

The glow is beautiful with redheaded skin. It goes on flawlessly, provides perfect buildable coverage and looks fantastic.
