Bronzer is the one makeup tool you must have to pull off a sun-kissed look. Sweep this drugstore favorite (the lowest-priced powder in our top-rated bronzers story) on your forehead, cheeks, jawline, neck and collarbone for a natural glow. (Tip: Dip your brush gently into bronzer, then your favorite blush, then back to the bronzer before dusting on cheeks. You'll get a much more believable color.) Finish with your ideal pink lip gloss (use a bright version if your focus is lips).

The "After":
"Oh my ... what a difference!" says Deana, who was all smiles after her makeover. Despite not knowing how to blend eyeshadow and not cutting her hair for two years straight, she left convinced she could keep up her new budget-friendly regimen (right after a romantic dinner with her husband). Her best follow-up advice: Don't forget to change your makeup -- "it really makes [the look]."
After losing 80 pounds, TotalBeauty.com reader Deana felt great on the inside but still needed help on the outside. Inspired by sunny Hollywood blondes like Goldie Hawn and Heidi Klum, our dream team -- celebrity hairstylists and owners of Lukaro Beverly Hills salon Luke and Rona O'Connor, and celebrity makeup artist Robert Bolanos -- gave Deana a bright new look to help boost her confidence, and kept it budget-friendly to boot!
