When the sun is high in the summer sky, one thing is certain: there s tan, and then there s tan. But as any self-respecting Instagram star knows, healthy skin and UV rays don t mix. That s why, in the quest to achieve the perfect balmy glow, calculated beauty strategies are necessary. Today s lesson comes courtesy of Emily Ratajkowski, who enhanced her year-round back-from-St-Barths complexion with tawny makeup that played up the warmest notes.

For an evening out in Chicago, EmRata opted for a moment that took all-over bronze to a new level, the hue dusted across cheekbones in conjunction with a swirl of apricot blush that only boosted the sun-worshipping sensibility. Satin suiting was also part of the alliance, the sheen of her topaz-colored ensemble exposing a slice of toned abs while further heightening the feeling of radiance. The final touches came courtesy brushed up brow, a few swipes of mascara—the better to frame Ratajkowski s doe-eyed gaze—and lips coated to a glassy finish. But that lit-from-within luminosity? Whether that s born of the summer holiday season or simply another benefit of Ratajkowski s newlywed bliss remains to be seen.
