Applying Bronzer

Choose the Right Bronzer Shade

Choose a bronzer shade that is only a few shades darker than your natural skin tone. Avoid too orange or dark bronzers, as they may not look natural. If you have a fair complexion, a light or medium tan shade bronzer is suitable.

 

Prep Your Skin

Start with clean, moisturized skin

•  Apply your foundation, concealer, and any other base makeup as usual.

Optional

• Apply translucent setting powder over your foundation to create a smooth base for the bronzer.
• Think of the foundation as the canvas for your bronzing masterpiece.

Common areas for bronzer application include

Cheekbones

•   Apply bronzer below the cheekbones to create the illusion of more defined cheekbones.

Jawline

•   Sweep bronzer along the jawline to add definition and create a more sculpted look.

Forehead

•  Apply bronzer along the hairline on the sides of your forehead to add warmth and dimension.

Nose

•   For a sun-kissed look, you can lightly dust bronzer on the sides of your nose.

Neck

•   If your neck is exposed, you can apply bronzer to the neck and collarbone area to ensure a seamless transition of color.
•   Think of these areas as the canvas where you'll add warmth and dimension to your face.

Bronzer Application Techniques

Powder Bronzer

•   Use a large, fluffy brush for a powder bronzer.
•   Swirl the brush in the bronzer, tap off any excess, and smile to locate the apples of your cheeks.
•   Gently sweep the bronzer below your cheekbones, blending upward towards your temples.
•   Use the same brush for the jawline and forehead, and lightly apply bronzer to these areas.
•  If applying bronzer to your nose, use a smaller brush and apply sparingly along the sides. Imagine you're an artist, using your brush as a paintbrush to add warmth and dimension to your canvas.

Cream or Liquid Bronzer

•  You can use your fingertips, a makeup sponge, or a stippling brush for cream or liquid bronzer.
• Dab a small amount of bronzer onto the areas you want to bronze.
•  Blend the product by gently tapping and blending it into your skin.
•  Use upward motions to create a lifted effect.
•  Picture yourself blending the cream or liquid bronzer like an artist creating seamless transitions of color.

Blend Thoroughly

•  Regardless of the bronzer type, blending is essential for a natural look.
•   Ensure no harsh lines and that the color seamlessly melds your skin.
•   Blend your bronzer as if merging with your natural skin tone, creating a seamless transition.

Ad the Intensity

•  If the bronzer appears too intense, tone it down by lightly patting your makeup sponge or foundation brush over it. This is like erasing a little color to achieve the perfect shade.

Set with Powder (Optional)

•   To make your bronzer last longer and reduce shine, lightly dust translucent, setting powder over the bronzed areas.
•   Think of this step as preserving your sun-kissed look throughout your performance.

Final Touch

•   Complete your makeup with blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, and other desired finishing touches.
•   Your bronzer is like the warm rays of sunlight that bring life and depth to your makeup creation.
