How to Correctly Apply Bronzer Makeup

Bronzing makeup can highlight your face with a healthy glow if used correctly, but if applied incorrectly it can produce a brown mask over your face. You want the bronzer to look natural not fake. Read on to learn how to correctly apply bronzer makeup.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bronzing makeup
• Large natural hair make-up brush
• Make-up sponges
• Light natural powder

1. Apply foundation to a clean moisturized face and finish with a light loose powder.

2. Use a large, natural hair makeup brush to apply your bronzer. Only use the bronzer in places where the sun would naturally hit your face.

3. Brush a little of the bronzer on your neck and chest to match the bronze glow on your face.

4. Dust translucent powder over the bronzer to set the makeup.

Tips & Warnings

• If you use too much bronzer and your skin looks orange then you can wipe off some of the makeup with a clean makeup sponge until you achieve the desired look.
• Bronzer can be used on your checks as a contour to make a round face look smaller by applying it in a back and forth motion to the hollow of your cheeks.
• The bronzer should be used sparingly in order to give you a healthy, tan glow.

on 12/27/2007 You can find loose, translucent powder in just about every makeup line. Translucent powder is a "colorless" powder and it comes in a loose powder form or a compact powder form. My makeup preferences are Estee Lauder and Lancome, but you can get transulcent powder from Maybeline, Loreal or almost any drug store brand.
