A key part of anybody’s makeup routine should be bronzer. It can be used to contour your face and even make you look more tanned. It is a staple that has been in makeup bags for a very very long time. Whilst the formulas have changed and ranges have expanded, bronzers still serve the same purpose: to outdo sun-kissed skin for bronzer makeup artists swear by.
However, for many people, bronzers can actually be a rather confusing step. Some people may even vanquish bronzing products from their makeup bag altogether, as these cosmetics seem far too easy to get wrong and can easily be over applied.
The best way to build up your confidence with bronzer is to pick the right shade for your complexion and then apply it subtly. You should never go more than two shades darker than your natural skin tone in a bronzer. You also need to pay attention to whether your skin is cool, warm, or neutral in tone as this affects how the bronzer looks on your skin. You should also consider whether your skin is oily or dry as some bronzing powders are too thick and cakey, so won’t apply evenly.
The growth in popularity of contouring has enhanced the confusion of how to use bronzer even more, and now bronzer is being used for all the wrong, yet right, reasons. There is however, a bronzer which solves our problems as it cannot be over applied, it isn’t cakey and it is easy to use for contouring or to emulate sun kissed skin.
