How to apply Bronzer

As the purpose of wearing a bronzer is to darken those desired portions of your face, choose shades darker depending on the kind of look you want. Use it over your jawline to see the difference. Fair skin people must look for honey-colored bronzer and rose-bronze or gold-flecked suits medium complexions. Wear an amber or tawny shade for the dark skin. Brunettes can go for orange bronzers and blondes for pink bronzers.
  • Choose an application brush: The best bet is a round top, fluffy powder brush. Use natural fibers or sable for the best effect. No point wasting money on small brushes that will leave your face looking blotchy and flawed.
  • Application of base: Rather than directly applying bronzer on your cheeks, first apply a bit of powder to your face to form a base. Foundation would make your cheeks look caked. Women with dry skin should use a sheer moisturizer before putting on the powder to form a base. As you have a dry skin, a creamy, liquid or stick bronzer would be a better option for you.
  • Brush on your bronzer: With a twirling motion, brush over the bronzer and take only as much as required. Apply on your cheeks and tap off any excess.
  • Bronzer on your face: Put on bronzers in the areas of your cheek where sun affects the most. Use light strokes while applying the bronzer with the tip of the brush. Use it along your nose and cheeks. Now make strokes that would create the right shade for you. Highlight your cheekbones and chin if you want to go for an even look.
  • Daylight bronzer check: It is essential to do a daylight check for a bronzer. It helps you understand the effects in daylight too. Just be sure the application is not too heavy. Use cotton pads to tone down the excess and take it off to reduce blotchy look.
