I just love that simple bronze look that gives us some kind of special freshness and effect of sunlit face, but sometimes I want to do minimal contour to the face in order to have more definition. This is a super simple trick to make the best of both worlds – bronzy contour that we shall call London chic.
For chic contoured look, we need a creamy bronzer that is not completely mat. Also for this little trick you can use cream highlighters that come in darker shades. Creamy texture already gives a small dose of glow, while the bright and reflective particles further emphasize the freshness of complexion. For contouring this darker shade is applied just below the cheekbone.
After applying, blend gently with the skin, pulling it toward the outer parts of the face.
Cream bronzers and cream blushes in deeper and richer shades that can be used are:
Jane Iredale, cult mineral cosmetics brand has a beautiful shade of cream blush - Chemistry, which has warm and creamy undertone that blends with the skin.
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for lips and cheeks in shades Blushed Rose or Chocolate Milk is also a multitasker that can be applied to the lips and cheeks. Very small amounts will be sufficient to achieve this effect. The products are creamy and highly pigmented and will last you forever.
Make Up For Ever HD blush has a beautiful shade Light Rust, which is slightly less shiny but still ideal for subtle contouring.
