Bronzer is the very thing you will need for creating pretty much any makeup look but what exactly is it as well as how to choose and use it are the things we are going to talk about today. So without any further ado, let us start.

What Is Bronzer?

Bronzer does several tasks at the same time. First of all, it can be used as a sculpting tool to avoid the flat face effect on photographs and videos. Secondly, in case of uneven tanning, bronzer will help you to even out the tone of your face and neck. In addition to that, with the help of this product, you can give your face the effect of a light tan. So this is basically what bronzer is and what it is for.

How to Choose a Bronzer Shade?

For creating gorgeous natural makeup looks, it is best to choose a bronzer one or two shades darker and warmer than your foundation shade. At the same time, you also have to know that the shade of your foundation should be one tone darker than your natural skin tone.

Peach, honey, and beige-pink shades work the best for those people who have a light skin tone. If you have a medium skin tone, bronze your face using the products with pink undertones and splashes of gold or orange. In case your skin tone is brown, try terracotta, copper, or amber shades. At the same time, if you have very light porcelain skin, it’s better to avoid using bronzer since it will create a dirty face effect. Therefore, if you have a very light skin tone, use blush and highlighter instead.

How to Apply Bronzer?

As a rule, bronzer comes in the form of a powder, but it can also be found in the form of a cream or stick. Powder product is the easiest to use since you can simply apply it with a brush. Obviously, there are special brushes for bronzer, which are something in between a blush brush and a powder brush. If you don't want to buy a new brush just for bronzing, you can use a powder or blush brush, duo-fiber, or a beveled sculpting brush. Just make sure that the brush is made of natural bristles, it is soft and loose, and it does not collect the excess product which creates stains.

To create a stunning makeup look, apply bronzer to the protruding parts of your face where sunlight first comes in. For example, you can apply it to your nose, cheekbones, temples, hairline, chin, ears, eyebrows, and jawline. To ensure that there is no difference between the tone of your face and your body, you can also brush over the sides of your neck, shoulders, and collarbones.
