It's something every woman wants to find – the best face bronzer! That's because when you wear the right bronzer for you it lifts your appearance and creates the illusion of instant health. The best face bronzer is a real life saver if you find yourself looking a little paler than usual. They're a great pick-me-up for those winter months when your complexion needs a color boost, too. Find yours with these simple tips.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Beauty motivation
  • An open mind
  • Ability to determine skin type
  1. Step 1

    Determine whether your skin is oily or dry. It's easy to do by checking your skin a couple of hours after you wash it. Do your fingers glide across the skin area on your nose and cheeks. Does it feel like there is a slight film beneath them? If you so most likely have oily or combination skin. If not, then your skin tends to be on the drier side.

  2. Step 2

    The best face bronzer for oily skin types is a powder bronzer. Powder bronzers come in both pressed and loose powder form. The advantage is that these products will last longer on your skin. If you choose a liquid bronzer there is more of a tendency for it to fade and your complexion look more oily as the day passes. By using a powder bronzer you avoid this complication. Go with a matte bronzer.

  3. Step 3

    Is your skin combination skin? Do you tend to be more oil in the T-Zone area such as the nose, cheeks and chin? Powder bronzers work best for you and you can even wear shimmer bronzers if you apply them lightly. There is a another selection when choosing the best face bronzer for your skin type. You can also experiment with liquid bronzing products. If you have combination skin then try liquid bronzers in makeup samples before buying one. Just make sure to apply them with a light hand.

  4. Step 4

    Do you have dry skin? Liquid, lotion and gel bronzers work great on dry skin. They glide across your skin and provide you with nice even sheer color. Your best face bronzer can be used on your cheekbones as blush if you need to avoid having bronzer settle in fine lines. That doesn't mean you can't wear powder bronzer, but if you do then you might prefer a matte bronzer. This is especially true if you have fine lines.

Tips & Warnings
  • Wear your best face bronzer as blush.
  • Light bronzers look more natural.
  • Apply shimmer bronzers on cheekbones.
  • Always test makeup products on the inside of your arm first to see if you have any reaction to them. The best makeup is safe makeup!
