Use a bronzer that best matches your skin tone. Bronzer comes in various shades just like regular make-up does. Although the purpose of bronzer is to give a suntanned look, you don't want to vary too much from your original skin tone.

Apply bronzer to the areas that are naturally first hit by the sunshine and most prone to be oily. These areas include the forehead, nose, chin and cheekbones.

Give your skin the glow of a suntanned look on other areas as well. You can apply bronzer to your collar bones and shoulders. Actually, bronzer can be used all over the body.

I agree, powder bronzer works best for oily skin (rather than liquids or sprays they dissolve and disappear when they come into contact with skin oils). If youre oily, dont apply bronzer all over the face just use it on key areas where the sun would naturally hit. Dust it on upper forehead, sides of cheeks, and bottom of chin, then blend inwards with a clean brush. If you apply it all over the face, it will make you look too shiny since most bronzers contain mica to create a glow. My two faves are Revlon Pressed Powder Bronzer, and Mattify! Loose Powder Bronzer. These two are really long lasting on oily skin.
