How to Apply Bronzer to African American Skin

"Next up we are moving up to bronzer and I know a lot of women of color say why would I use a bronzer I'm already dark as it is. What a bronzer works as a multipurpose cosmetic piece. First of all if you have any discoloration of any of your skin tones is a little bit lighter, a little bit darker it will even it out. You can brush across the forehead all around to the jaw. A lot of times the face is a little bit darker then the neck because this is where the sun hits and the sun really don't get down in here as much. So you can take your bronzer and blend it down to the neck. It works great as a contouring but of course Katerina has gorgeous cheeks bones so those are easy to find but if you don't have such beautiful cheek bones you can look half way from your eye underneath and then blending up as you go. You can put a little bit on the nose, a little bit on the forehead, a little bit on the cheek and then on the neck just lightly around here and there you have a beautiful bronze face and it looks absolutely fabulous. Next step we are going to move on to blush the important thing about the blush it really needs to match the lipstick. You don't want to have a beautiful berry blush and then a orange lipstick it just don't look right you want it to be really well blend and you want it to look very natural. I have chosen a gorgeous kind of burnish berry for Katerina. So you just want to tap lightly I'm just tapping off the excess and then right on the apple of the cheek that will be mid way from the eye and just straight across. You don't need to over due the blush just a light soft circular application is beautiful. Once you have the contouring and the blush it gives it a little bit of a more 3 dimensional effect as oppose of just having a straight blush you are looking a little bit more natural as you do the contouring and the blush together . Just one little extra step."
