How To Apply Bronzer

A Big Bronzer Don’t = The orange colored look

When not applied correctly, bronzer can be a big makeup mistake! Yikes!

Bronzer is great for your skin, but only if applied correctly. It can give your skin a great sun-kissed glow, -even after you’ve applied sunscreen. Bronzer is also great for waking up tired, pale skin.

Here’s How to Properly Apply Bronzer:

Where Should You Apply Bronzer?

Bronzer looks best when applied lightly to all the spots where the sun naturally shines (the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin)

Don’t Use Too Dark A Shade!

Unless you want the ultimate orange glow of bronzer shame, avoid using a color that will overwhelm your skin tone. Always pick a shade that is no more than two shades darker than your skin.

Match Bronzer Type To Skin Type

Powder bronzer is more suitable for oily to normal skin. Always remember to use a blush brush or bronzer brush to apply bronzer, tap the excess bronzer off the brush before applying…or you risk going overboard with the color.

Gel or cream -based bronzers are more suitable for dry skin.  Always apply such bronzers using a finger or a sponge. Blend well to avoid any lines of demarcation.

Put on A Little Blush

Bronzer by itself can be dull, applying a cream or powder blush to your cheeks can liven up your entire look.

Combine bronzer and blush for gorgeous results! Makeup artist Bobbi Brown agrees that ” bronzer looks best on days you don’t wear a lot of foundation.”
