Dos and Don'ts for Makeup Bronzer

Bronzer is especially useful for people who have pale skin or want to get that lovely sun-kissed glow. However, it is very easy to mess up the bronzer application, making it look tacky and patchy. Here are some of the tips and tricks to applying bronzer.


Things to Do while Applying Bronzer


  • Always choose the right shade – It can be easy to buy the wrong makeup bronzer online. The shade may look attractive in pictures, but on the skin, it may appear very different. Choosing the right shade is essential.


  • Always pick shades that are slightly darker than your natural skin tone – Never choose a lighter shade than your skin tone.


  • Use the right tone – For people with a cool undertone, always choose a makeup bronzer with a cooler undertone. For those who have a warm or golden undertone, a bronzer with a darker undertone is better.


  • Apply in the correct spots – Bronzer should be applied in places where the sun would most likely kiss your face: on the forehead, on the bridge of your nose, along the jawline, and the top of the cheeks.


  • Choose a lighter brush for applying – Brushes with loosely packed bristles are better than dense brushes for bronzer application. Using a fluffy brush will lead to better results.


  • Always swirl the brush – Swirling ensures that the product has coated the brush evenly and isn't concentrated in one area. Swirling ensures that it doesn't just concentrate on one spot and look cakey when you apply the bronzer to your face.


Things to Avoid while Using Bronzer


  • Never apply bronzer before finishing makeup – After applying the primer, foundation, concealer, and powder apply the bronzer. Using some translucent setting powder after applying makeup bronzer is the best way to keep the bronzer in place.


  • Apply the blush after bronzer – The blush should be applied after applying the bronzer, so the color comes through well.


  • Never use a shimmery bronzer for contouring purposes – You can use a matte finish bronzer for contouring but not a shimmery bronzer. Shimmery bronzer can be used as a highlighter.


  • Do not stop applying abruptly – If you are applying makeup bronzer along your jawline, do not just stop there. It can look odd and even fake. Blend the bronzer into the neck and chest, so it looks seamless and natural.


  • Bronzer is not a foundation replacement – If you want to add a slightly darker shade to your face, don't apply bronzer on your whole face. Use the foundation of a darker shade. Then use makeup bronzer to add some definition.


  • Do not apply too much bronzer – Bronzer is to be used sparingly and not in large amounts. Applying too much makeup bronzer can make your face look cakey and fake.
