If you're anything like me, your first experience with bronzer was in middle school, when you covered your entire face with a layer of sparkly, too-dark bronzer that left you looking like a weathered Oompa Loompa. And if that experience forever turned you off of a life of glow, I'm here to lead you back to the fold, because trust me— bronzing your face is really, truly simple, as long as you know where to apply it.
Bronzer is a must-have makeup product in your beauty bag. There's a reason it's been J. Lo's signature beauty look all these years—it adds dimension and a glowy warmth to the skin that brightens your complexion like no other. If you want to look like you've been bathing in the sun on vacation, but in reality have just been on your couch, a swirl of shimmery bronzer using a fluffy brush will do the trick.
But the world of bronzers includes textures, shades, and finishes galore, which can feel challenging to sift through for your skin tone, skin type, and face shape. We've cut out the guessing game to bring you a straightforward approach to achieving a believable bronzed glow. Below, a nifty five-step guide that'll take you approximately 60 seconds or less to complete.
Pop a squat in front of your mirror and keep reading to get that I-just-left-Miami glow. First, you need to find a bronzer that actually matches your skin tone yes, we have a comprehensive guide to mitigate your chances of looking like a Cheeto. The answer is yes, but only if you do it correctly. Bronzer is typically a matte or shimmer powder that is warm-toned to create the effect of a sun-kissed glow.
Contour products are the complete opposite. They are typically cool-toned matte products that create shadows on the face, mimicking the natural shadows created by your cheekbones and commanding features. Bronzers are everywhere, in a variety of formulations and colors. Contouring is a bit trickier to shop for. So can you, technically, contour with a bronzer?
It really comes down to your personal preference and your skin tone. If you are fair to light-complected and cool-toned, bronzer can look great on you as a contour. Follow the hollow! Suck in your cheeks to see where the shadow naturally occurs on your face shape, before sweeping the magic cushion application in a horizontal line towards your hairline and blend, blend, blend using the Hollywood Complexion Brush!
Next, apply in vertical stripes on the sides of your nose and loop underneath, before applying to the sides of your forehead, temples, and jawline for that gorgeous, contoured, sculpted-effect look. With bronzer, you can add a divine golden filter to the skin, while contouring sculpts the appearance of your facial framework, defining the look of your cheekbones and features.
Apply your contour first, before layering your bronzer on top for a radiant-looking glow! Jump to content. Login Create an account. New In.
