Summer, summer, summertime � yup, the season of sun is finally upon us. That means it's time for long days spent at the beach, vacation, and a few fresh hair and makeup looks. This summer the trends are flawless, bronzed skin, no-fuss braided buns and shiny aqua hues for your eyes. So read on to learn how to recreate these three trends -- all with products found at your local Walmart store (pretty nifty, huh?).

Trend: Bronzed, glowing skin
While it looks like Bar Rafaeli spent the last few days baking in the sun on a remote island somewhere (okay, it's totally possible she did), that doesn't mean you have to damage your skin with harmful UV rays to look the same. Instead, fake that fantastic glow by following these steps �

Step 1: Prep your skin
To get a beautiful bronzed glow, exfoliate every other day in the summer with a product like L'Oreal Paris Go 360 Clean, $5.97. Fresh, exfoliated skin will hold color from sunless tanners and bronzers much longer, and prevent streaky or patchy color. After exfoliating, apply a gradual self-tanner made for the face (try Coppertone Gradual Tan Faces Moisturizing Lotion , $4.99).

Next: Apply makeup

Step 2: Apply makeup
Before applying makeup, start with a primer like Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Luminizing Face Primer, $9.99 to help your makeup better adhere to your skin. Next, apply foundation if you need it. For a "naturally" flawless finish apply a mineral powder like Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation, $12 to even out your skin tone.

Step 3: Add your glow
Skip the products that contain a ton of shimmer because they tend to make your cheeks look oily within a couple of hours. Instead, go with a matte bronzer that is about one to two shades darker than your skin tone (try Physicians Formula Baked Pyramid Matte Bronzer, $11.95). Brush it onto your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin -- all the spots where the sun would naturally tan your face. Next, apply a blush in a peach-tone (for a hint of natural color) like Covergirl Cheekers Blush in Pretty Peach, $4 to the apples of your cheeks.

Next: Make eyes and lips shine
