Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Clean your skin thoroughly to achieve a smooth and consistent result. Exfoliate if needed to remove dry or dead skin.

  2. Step 2

    Apply your moisturizer and allow your skin to dry completely before applying your bronzer. This step is critical in achieving an even tone, and to be sure that your bronzer won't settle into lines or clump.

  3. Step 3

    Select a bronzer color that suits your natural skin tones. Fair skin tones should use bronzers that have a pink or beige undertone, while darker skin tones should choose bronzers with deeper undertones such as plum.

  4. Step 4

    Choose a quality brush with which to apply your bronzer. Your brush should be new and made with natural, densely backed, short bristles.

  5. Step 5

    Apply the bronzer of your choice with a light hand. It's easier to apply more rather than trying to remove it. Bronzer is more concentrated than traditional blushes, particularly mineral bronzers. Remove any excess by tapping lightly prior to use.

  6. Step 6

    Use a swirling, circular motion to apply the bronzer, blending outward for that youthful glow. Remember, bronzer can be applied to the body as well as the face.

  7. Step 7

    Choose a eye shadow brush to apply bronzer to blemishes or imperfections in your skin. Buff with your bronzer brush to achieve the coverage you desire.
