A glowing face: how to apply bronzer like a professional makeup artist

We all dream of flawless, radiant skin that radiates health and beauty. The best way to achieve the desired effect is to use bronzer.

Many women don't apply this product to their skin because they don't know how to do it correctly. That's why Real Simple has shared the methods of using bronzer that will instantly make your makeup look better.

Bronzer, when applied correctly, imitates the effects of the sun on your skin and creates the effect of a fresh golden tan.

This product is often confused with contouring, which is used to deepen the shadows on your face, but they are fundamentally different. While the bronzer features orange and gold tones with shimmer or glow, the contour has gray shades and a matte finish.

Where to apply bronzer

If you want to achieve a natural result and create the effect of having just returned from a short vacation, you should apply bronzer to the areas of your face that are most exposed to the sun.

First, apply the product from one temple to the other along the hairline, and then on the cheekbones and nose.

To create a more tanned and dramatic look, apply the bronzer in the shape of a 3 on both sides of the face, starting from the temple, moving around the eye and ending under the cheekbone.

Don't limit yourself to the face either. You can apply bronzer all over your body to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of scars, veins, and texture.

How to apply bronzer

Powder bronzer is usually applied with a large fluffy brush. Before using this product, it is necessary to have other cream and liquid textures on the skin. This will help to avoid uneven coverage.

Cream or gel bronzers can be applied with your fingers, a sponge, or a foundation brush.

Mistakes when using bronzer

Too dark a color

One of the most common mistakes is using a bronzer that is too dark. Choose a product that is one to two shades darker than your natural skin color.

Too much shimmer

Most bronzers contain sparkles, which is great because it helps to achieve a fresh and radiant effect. But in order to have a more natural look, you should use products with a minimal amount of shimmer, as its excess will make the skin look oily.

Too much bronzer

Bronzer should never be applied to the entire face. It will not make you look tanned, but will create a mask effect.
