Bronzer is a makeup product that enhances skin to give it a suntanned look. It is a sunless method to look radiantly healthy year-round, not only in summer. Bronzer can be used on every skin tone and type.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose bronzer for oily skin by looking at the powder forms. Although bronzer comes in various creams, lotions and sprays, the powder forms are best for oily skin. You can buy bronzer in a dry, pressed powder or loose powder.

  2. Step 2

    Look for key words when you choose bronzer for oily skin. Choose the bronzer types that say "oil free" or "oil absorbing" on the label.

  3. Step 3

    Read the label to learn the type of formula that the bronzer is made from. When you choose bronzer for oily skin, the "matte" formulas are best.

  4. Step 4

    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.

  5. Step 5

    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.

  6. Step 6

    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.

Tips & Warnings
  • Bronzer looks best (especially on oily skin) when it's applied right after washing the skin.
  • Make sure your skin is completely dry before applying bronzer.
