Bronzing du Jour: NARS CASINO 2.11.11

Continuing on my path to looking healthy and glowing in the middle of the dead of winter in New York city (I am sure you all have heard about this evil winter we are facing) during fashion week.

I want to introduce you to my secret weapon throughout the year, bronzer. But not just any bronzer will do. Some bronzers turn you muddy, some turn you orange and some make you look straight up dirty! I hate that!

I used to be a devoted loyal fan of NARS Laguna bronzer, but I started to look in pictures and whatever and I had started to notice i was looking a bit muddy looking (Also, I absolutley hated that once I used a lot of it and it became a thin layer it would crack and crumble everywhere! A veritable DISASTER!).

I went to my trusty makeup artist that works at NARS at Bloomingdales and she suggested trying Casino (Check it out here) At first I was totally incredulous, Casino is DARKER! However, she was totally right, this because it had a true browner/ redder undertone rather than orange totally stopped the dirty look. Casino MUST be used with a light hand but with the right brush, this bronzer is a MIRACLE worked.



In the past year I have used this every day and have only gone through two, because the pigmentation is so much better you don't use as much.

This is a total must have and HG item for me and at $33 per 6 months, this is a great value. Again, if you are going to try NARS bronzers, even if you are pale, I HIGHLY urge you to go with Casino and use a very soft light brush, like the MAC 187.

Check it our here at NARS.com or sephora.

Oh! By the way! I only apply to the outer perimeter of my face, this avoids the over bronzed look!

Will you be checking this out? Picking it up? Have you tried? Love or hate it?
