“To give Maria her amazing, bronze glow I used Vita Liberata’s pHenomenal Mousse in Medium to the arms, neck and shoulders. It’s rapid drying, odorless and easy to apply. It’s the only self tanner in my kit. I used Vita Liberata’s Trystal Minerals in Bronze to contour and highlight Maria’s beautiful bone structure.

Get The Look: Vita Liberata's Brand Ambassador Fiona Locke Preps Louise Roe for The Grammys

I remember seeing Celebrity Makeup Artist Tina Turnbow used this on Taylor Schilling at the Golden Globes this year and thinking to myself how naturally luminescent Taylor Schilling looked. It was a truly natural looking glow and I had been hearing about the brand since it launched. I also remember hearing that is lasted up to 4 times longer than other self tanners. If Tina used it on Taylor who has a similar skin tone as I have- then I am going to try it! Give me a few days and I shall write a separate article on the pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan Mousse...
