Main rule is – use bronzer only for separate areas of your face. This is the only way to create a trendy effect of sun kissed skin!
1. To visually change the shape of a round face, apply the bronzer under cheekbones, up to the temples. If you have a square face, use darker shades of powder under cheekbones from bottom to top, softening the contour of cheeks. For heart-shaped face use bronzer on the lower part of your chin.
2. Don’t choose too dark shades of the bronzer – it must be 2 tones darker than your complexion. Fair-skinned girls need peach and honey shades, girls with olive skin should opt for dark beige, almost brown hues. For natural look mix light and dark shades to get an effect of slightly glowing skin.
3. Emphasize most prominent and open parts of your face: cheekbones, nose, temples, jaw line.
4. If you want to look tanned, don’t forget about other open areas, not just your face: shoulders, neck, ears. Apply some bronzer on them too.
5. Use a soft round brush to apply bronzer slightly smaller than a powder brush. Always remove excess powder from the brush before touching your face.
6. Don’t forget about the base if you want the bronzer to blend evenly and stay longer. Use your day cream or a special foundation primer as a base.
7. Use the bronzer to draw a 3-shaped or an E-shaped figure (on both parts of your face, symmetrically). Put strokes on your forehead, cheeks and lower jaw line down to the chin.
8. Always check your makeup in the daylight and correct it with your regular powder, if necessary.
