Bronzer is ideal for restoring freshness and color in your face, and achieving a sun kissed look. Although it is easy to use, some women do not want to get close to a bronzer, thinking it will look too orange or bronze will be all over their clothes. The fact is, it may look unnatural and overwhelming if we do not choose the correct bronzer and proper shade. Once you have the right shade that suits the undertone and skin, everything else is easier. I often like to say that makeup does not have rules, but there is one rule everyone needs to know about – less is more. Apply a thin layer, look closely and apply next layer if needed. It is always easier to add a little more than to remove make-up.
Most women have golden or lightly reddish undertones. Very pale women mostly look good with slightly reddish-brown tones while women with pronounced yellow tones look good in gold bronzy tones.
The simplest way to use bronzes - places where the sun naturally kisses the face. A clever trick that mimics natural effect. You want the bronzer to be applied over the nose, to high parts of the cheeks and to the forehead. Note that this is not a contour. This is just the opposite of the contouring process because the product is applied to most prominent parts of the face.
Bronzer should perfectly match your skin so it looks like you've actually taken a vacation. For this you need to refine your blending techniques. Make sure your bronzer along the hair line is flawlessly blended, as this is the first place that can tell on you. Use larger, soft brushes for compact products, and I always recommend BeautyBlender sponge for cream products. Combine brushes and BeautyBlender for perfect and flawless results.
Of course, there is always a question of what texture to use? With creams, gels and powder-compact products available, it is difficult to decide on selection and application.
Combination to oily skin types love compact textures and powders, as they will help remove excess oil and keep skin matt. Liquid bronzers can be mixed with liquid foundation or if your skin is too dry, you might like a damp finish of creamy and bronze gel to help restore gloss and healthy shine.
Who does not want a little shine to go along with a sunny look? Nothing complements the warmth of the bronzer as a soft glow. To get that look, pair your bronzer with highlighter or brightening balm. Apply creamy highlighter on top of your cheeks, just over your lips and center of chin.
