Though we are in the middle of summer, all of your should be wearing lots of sunscreen esp. on your face. One small side effect of not tanning your face is you won't have that bronzed glow look. But no need to fret ladies. Bronzer can really be a girls best kept secret.
A simple powdered bronzer with a slight shimmer is the perfect choice to accentuate that daytime look. Choose a bronzer a few shades darker than your natural skin but not too dark, remember natural is what we aim for.
To apply: Once all of the makeup on the face is applied (save this step for last so you can balance the amount you apply with the rest of your makeup), brush a small amount of bronzer onto a brush and tap off the excess. Starting at the temple create the number 3 on the side of your face brushing from the temple to right under the cheek bone, coming back out to the ear then along the jaw line. Repeat on opposite side. Next, dab a small amount on the chin and down the nose. Blend all of the bronzer well, NOT with the bronzer brush, but with your foundation brush. Remember you want to hit all the areas the sun hit and keep it looking natural.
There are other ways to apply bronzer such as liquids, which would be applied while a liquid foundation is being applied or before the powder foundation. Liquids are a little trickier and I will cover this later in face contouring.
Once all of the bronzer is well blended you may repeat the steps if you deem it necessary. Do not try to match your tanned chest or shoulders, remember the end result should be a natural healthy glow.
