Fusion Beauty Blog by Product Expert Heather Boswell

I hope you enjoyed my GlowFusion tips series. I look forward to hearing from you and if you have any techniques that work for you, I would love to hear about them.
One final tip - If you have applied Glow in your bathroom you probably already know this one. Put a towel or mat down under your feet when you Glow. It won't get stained (because GlowFusion only tans skin) but if you spray your GlowFusion and then walk through it on your bare floor it tans the bottoms of your feet.

FOR THOSE WHO GLOW V - TWEAKING YOUR GLOW

This great idea from one of our awesome HSN hosts. After you've lightly Glowed your face, apply a little more GlowFusion with a makeup applicator wedge sponge very lightly into the hollows of your cheeks and under jawline. This provides a "built-in" contouring effect even without makeup!

This same technique can be used to accentuate abdominal muscles, calf muscles and upper arm definition. If you want your legs and thighs to look smaller apply a darker shade of Glow or do additional applications to legs, particularly the back of legs. This really helps hide so many imperfections.

FOR THOSE WHO GLOW IV - THE PROFESSIONAL GLOW

This is a fave of the serious tanner because the Airglow system let's you achieve that seamless professional mist-on tan anywhere, anytime. No appointment necessary and no need to disrobe in front of a stranger.

The control you have with Airglow system is phenomenal and the keys to success are easy. Always fully charge the system before using. Only fill the cannister to the max line. Keep the Airglow gun upright while misting the cocoa infused GlowFusion onto your skin. Always clean and DRY out the system before storing away for next use.  Although the cocoa infused mist dries VERY quickly it is ever-so-slightly tinted so do wait a few minutes before putting on light colored clothing. You can use the regular GlowFusion mist in the Airglow gun if you like just follow the same instructions and you'll look as professionally Glowed as Hollywood's most glamorous celebs!

FOR THOSE WHO GLOW III - THE GRADUAL GLOWER

Our Glowfusion Tan Enhancing Emulsion has become a staple for the daily or gradual tanner. Because it is spiked with just a hint of our Glowfusion formula it develops into a beautiful and subtle glow when used everyday. Many women use the emulsion on their face INSTEAD OF THE MIST because of the beautiful soft color it gives and because it is a great oil-free moisturizer.

For Those Who Glow II - To Blend or Not to Blend

There are two very distinct groups here. Those of you who MUST blend, whether it is as you mist, after you mist, or using your emulsion WITH your mist to blend as you go. Some spray mist directly onto palms and then distrubute that way. Regardless of HOW you blend it is crucial to remember that Glowfusion dries immediately so you only have a few seconds to WASH YOUR HANDS. If you miss that window of opportunity use your exfoliator or exfoliating gloves to wash your hands and don't forget to wash between your fingers and into the creases on your palms.

If you are a Non-Blender, like me, then you have mastered the spray and go technique that requires no blending or touching at all. Because I am usually on the fly, or demonstrating Glowfusion on-air, this technique works best fo me. It is of course important to make sure that mist is falling as diffusely as possible onto the skin so I always hold the bottle back as far as I can from my skin as I spray. For legs I mist Glowfusion into the air a couple feet above my leg rotating my leg and allowing it to fall evenly onto my skin. I count the number of sprays and pay close attention to where I have misted and where I haven't. To mist my face, I hold the Glowfusion bottle as far away from my face as my arm will reach, close my eyes and do only 2 or 3 REALLY LIGHT sprays. I can always apply more the following day if I feel I need it.

For Those Who Glow - Prep Your Skin

Many of you have shared your Glowfusion self tanning tips with me and they are so varied I wanted to compile them so that others could benefit from your experiences. Glowfusion is of course the quickest, easiest and most authentic looking self tanner because the mist is completely clear but the results look oh so natural. We all love that it has no odor, delivers micro-nutrients and antioxidants as it tans and of course that it lasts so well. Over the next several days, I will be presenting just some of the ways Glowing Fusion Fans have perfected their Glow application. You may find that some of these suggestions work really well for you too. Today We'll talk about prepping your skin.

Many of you find that exfoliating is an absolute must before you glow in order to reveal fresh skin free of dead skin cells. Moisturizing can also be really key to prevent dry patches which may "accept" Glowfusion quicker than the rest of your skin. Some of you use the Glowfusion Emulsion FIRST as your moisturizer and then use the mist afterwards.

Need a Vacation?

Yeah, I know. Seems like everyone is heading south or just returning from some gorgeous beach somewhere. And if you ask about the exotic destination the conversation inevitably returns to this question: "So, are YOU going to get away this winter?" . And if you're not...well, let's just say it is a sad reminder that that little groundhog is seldom correct and winter lingers on far longer than we'd like. I'm taking a tip from Fusion blogger, Ericka, who maximizes her Glowfusion faux glow with comebacks like: "Yes, I just got back from the French Riviera". When asked today about my gloriously authentic looking Glowfusion tan I told a woman in the supermarket line (we were buying antifreeze for our cars) that yes, it certainly did wonders for the soul to get a little sunshine this time of year. Not, QUITE a lie but she assumed I had just returned from vacation. Felt pretty good.

FAUX GLOW - GlowFusion Tanning Mist - Tips & Tricks

Get your summer glow on girls (and guys) with Fusion Beauty’s Micro-Nutrient Protein Tanning mist. If you have too many clothes in your “uh uh” pile every morning then you probably need a tan. Everything in your closet will look better on you with gloriously glowing skin (and you’ll look instantly thinner too!) Mist  Glow Fusion onto clean, dry, exfoliated skin before bed. No need to worry about “tanning” up your jammies or sheets. Glowfusion works with your skin’s keratin protein to develop naturally for a customized glow and it dries instantly. Yes, the instructions say to blend it BUT if you hold the bottle at least a foot away from your skin the micro-fine mist will land on skin in a very diffuse way. Try doing a LIGHT coat this way and see how easy it is. No touching, no blending, no streaking, no kidding. Always better to do a few light coats than one heavy application and with Glow Fusion it is so easy. I apply before bed for two or three days until I get the desired intensity then I just keep my glow hydrated with Glowfusion Emulsion for up to two weeks before I have to reapply.
