Bronzer Basics... How To Naturally Get That Bronzed Babe Look

I think it's safe to say that almost everyone loves to wear bronzer. Having a nice, golden glow is super flattering on anyone. A pretty glow is the way to go. :)

For me, my makeup routine is not complete without a little touch of bronzer and blush. It highlights/contours the face and gives it color. There are different ways of applying bronzer-- I'll explain how. To begin, don't overdo it with the bronzer. Some girls get desperate for that tan and will overdo the color (sometimes not matching their neck!). Remember that less is more! If you have an all over face color, like my all time favorite Bare Minerals Faux Tan powder, then that can lightly be applied on the forehead, checks, chin, nose. If you have a stronger pigmented bronzer, like Lorac Hot Flash, then you apply the bronzer where the sun naturally falls: the forehead, cheeks, and below your cheeks towards the jaw. Let me give you a visual... Consider the bronzer to be applied in an almost "3" shape.

No matter the face shape, applying bronzer in these areas looks flattering on anyone. It really defines the face and cheek bones. Bronzer is supposed to look natural. If it looks like you are noticeably wearing bronzer, then it may be too much. Good luck. 

I will be writing a post soon about blush basics. Stay tuned.
