Bronzer 101 | How To Apply Bronzer

Bronzer can instantly give your skin a healthy, rested, just-got-back from a beach vacation look. This application technique has given me the most natural results.

I’ll go over the order in which (sounds so formal) I apply bronzer, contour, highlight, and blush. I use the same technique to apply liquid or powder bronzer.

If you are looking for specific bronzer and shade recommendations.

I recommend choosing a bronzer shade only 1-2 shades deeper than your skin tone for the most flattering results.

I also always bronze my neck and sweep the brush over the top of my collarbones, to make the color on my body cohesive with my face.

I recommend choosing a bronzer shade only 1-2 shades deeper than your skin tone for the most flattering results.

STEP 1

Starting at the temples (the outside, upper corners of your face), sweep bronzer in a straight motion back into your hairline.

STEP 2

Picking up more bronzer as needed, keep sweeping the bronzer back in towards your hairline, moving down your face in the shape of the letter “E” or number “3.”

I also always bronze my neck and sweep the brush over the top of my collarbones, to make the color on my body cohesive with my face.

STEP 3

STEP 4

When all those main areas are done, I use the same brush, but don’t pick up any more bronzer. I sweep the brush under my eyes and across my forehead and chin.
