Get the Look: Blake Lively’s Rosy Bronze Skin

Jul 4, 2012 @ 6:00 pm

Bronzed skin is definitive of the season, but if you’re fair like Blake Lively, take a tip from the actress and balance your tan with a rosy glow. Look for a bronzer with a slight blush hue, or one with a mixture of pink shades to keep your skin looking fresh. To finish, add a touch of warm cream blush blended on the apples of your cheeks for a dewy, lit-from-within finish. No matter what your complexion is, make sure to balance out your skin’s natural undertones for a believable sun-kissed look.

How to Skip the Blow Dryer This Summer

Jul 4, 2012 @ 4:30 pm

In this sweltering heat, blow-drying hair is a hassle. Give your hair dryer a break and let the air do all the work! Try this technique from hairstylist Ward, who has worked on Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue (so we know this is good advice!). First, comb mousse, like Living Proof Thickening Mousse ($26; sephora.com), through medium-wet hair and then leave alone. Then, twist two or three sections of hair and clip up into mini chignons; let dry fully. The result is a loose, wavy texture that’s summer-perfect. What a simple solution for even the hottest day!

Cameron Diaz’s Favorite Bikini

Jul 4, 2012 @ 9:00 am

Are you hitting the beach this Fourth of July? Take a cue from Cameron Diaz and slip into a teeny bikini. “I love surfing in Pualani Hawai’i bikinis,” Diaz told InStyle. “They’re tiny, so you get a really good tan, but they stay on.” As for footwear? “Always Havaianas. Preferably in white.” Pick up Pualani Hawai’i's $69 triangle top and $69 bikini bottom at pualanihawaii.com, and shop Diaz’s flip-flops for $18 at havaianas.com.
