Bronzed to Distraction

As any pale girl knows, a safe faux-tan is hard to come by. From looking like an Umpa Lumba to being a streaky mess, I’ve been through it all (and multiple times)!

Luckily, this month M.A.C. has a new product, Skinsheen, that they’ve promised will bronze me to perfection. I hope they’re right, because the last thing I want is to look like a pasty mess my first weekend back out in the Hamptons!

Skinsheen is a smooth-on, gel-based bronzer that’s soft and mousse-like to apply. It comes in a range from Medium to Deep Dark and is priced at $22.50. M.A.C. suggests using their $52, 179 Body Buffer brush for the best application. While Skinsheen isn’t transfer-proof, it’s highly transfer resistant, so unless you’re overly moisturized, Skinsheen will stay on and not move. From my experience, it works best if you put it on naked (not moisturized), skin and don’t do it when you’re in too much of a rush, because you’ll have to wait a few minutes for it to dry before putting back on your clothes.

The new Mac Skinsheen is available as of this month at all M.A.C. locations and at www.maccosmetics.com. Try it and tells us about your experience!
