Why is bronzer a cosmetic worth having?
Although bronzer is not a mandatory element of makeup, especially not for daytime makeup, considering the possibilities it provides - it is definitely worth choosing it. Especially since once you master its proper application, it does not take much time and is not problematic.
It is hard to ignore the effect left on the skin by this cosmetic. Bronzer wonderfully intensifies the skin tone and can also add shine to it. If you feel that despite all your efforts, your makeup is always "missing something", then choosing the right bronzer may be the solution. With its help, you will shape the areas of your face that you want to highlight and gently darken, thus concealing those that need subtle slimming.
Yes, bronzer is the cosmetic that will allow you to emphasize the greatest assets of your beauty, will brighten your skin and make it impossible to take your eyes off it. Skillful application of bronzer will allow you to fully model your face and create perfect makeup for every occasion.
Different types of face bronzers
A wide selection of bronzers for beginners and advanced users makes contouring the face very effective and easy. Which face bronzer can you choose? Which of these cosmetics will give you a natural look and optically slim your face?
Bronzing powders
The most popular cosmetics of this type are undoubtedly the so-called compact powders, which can be pressed or baked. Their consistency is compact, which translates into both high efficiency and easy application. Additionally, using them will allow you to gain a natural tan and make your face look fresh and healthy.
Loose bronzers
These are very often mineral cosmetics that can be applied pointwise with a brush or sponge. Application is relatively easy, however, when using bronzer, it is worth being careful not to take too much product and not create unsightly, too intense spots on the face.
Cream Bronzers
They are characterized by a creamy or liquid-creamy consistency, making them a very good choice for wet contouring. In addition to allowing you to aesthetically enhance your facial features, they are great for skin care and are very comfortable to wear.
Stick bronzers
Their appearance resembles a classic lipstick. Due to their characteristic packaging, they are applied directly to the skin and then blended using a sponge or brush. The shape of the pencil allows for great precision of use.
Bronzers in balls
The balls enclosed in a jar usually come in different shades - they shimmer and beautifully reflect light, thanks to which they allow you to achieve a natural and very radiant tan. This type of product is ideal at the very beginning of the contouring journey. Bronzer in balls is very easy to use and it is difficult to make any stains with it.
How to choose the right bronzer color?
Face modeling will be much easier and will bring better results if you take care to match the right color to your complexion. One that will emphasize the contour of the face and will not stand out ugly on it. Above all, make sure that the bronzer you choose is not too dark. It is better to choose one that is slightly too light than too intense.
No matter what makeup look you want to achieve, a shade that is too dark will make your skin look older than it actually is and create a mask effect. A good rule of thumb when choosing a bronzer is to choose a shade that is about one or two shades darker than your skin tone.
A bronzer with a cool shade will work wonders for a cool complexion, while a good choice for a warm complexion will be products that delight with their brown notes. If you want a very natural effect, choose shades that are as close to your face color as possible.
Step by step bronzer application
Now that you know how to choose the perfect bronzer, it's time to think about how to apply it to your face. Luckily, applying bronzer can be easy and doesn't require a lot of time.
Where to apply bronzer? Exactly in the places you want to model. If you want a so-called sun-kissed effect, apply the bronzer to the entire surface of the face. You can also apply it in spots, e.g. on the cheekbones, forehead and nose.
When applying makeup, it is also good to pay attention to the shape of your face. If it is round, the bronzer will look great when you apply it to the tops of the jaw bones, temples and under the cheekbones. With a triangular face, the application brings the best effects when it is done on the entire jaw line and at the tops of the cheekbones. Square faces with strongly outlined cheekbones look impeccable when the bronzer is applied to the very sides of the cheeks and at the hairline.
Learn about the most common mistakes made when applying bronzer.
Although bronzer is a cosmetic that should be in every cosmetic bag and its application is not problematic, it is also worth knowing what mistakes to avoid when applying makeup. Unfortunately, you can overdo it with this cosmetic, which will result in unsightly spots and the creation of streaks that will age the complexion and take away its freshness.
The most common mistakes when applying bronzing powder include:
Not matching the bronzer color to your skin tone
Even the most beautiful bronzer will not look good and will have a negative impact on your makeup if its color does not match the appearance of your face.
Applying bronzer in the wrong places
While bronzer looks great when applied to the nose, or rather starting at the eyes and ending at the tip, is it a good idea to apply it all over the nose on each side? Definitely not.
Contouring won't look good either if, instead of also reaching for a highlighter and blush, you replace these products with a bronzer.
Application with a poorly cut brush
If you apply powder bronzer or reach for a cream version, not only the application itself will be very important, but also the proper distribution of the cosmetic. Such products need to be well blended so that streaks and spots do not appear on the face.
