Applying Bronzer for Photo Shoot Makeup

Video Transcript

"Now that foundation is on, we're going to move on to some color. We're going to start with bronzer. Now that we've kind of taken a lot of the color out of her face with the foundation, we want to give her a little bit of a healthy glow or sun kissed glow. I'm using a really neutral bronzer. Again, you don't want to use too glittery. You can use a little bit of an iridescence and a bronzer, but nothing with glitter. You don't have to stick with matte when it comes to cheeks because that's something that you want to highlight anyway, but nothing glittery. A little bit of iridescence is fine. When you apply bronzer, you want to do a little at a time. You can add more and more as you like. You want to just apply it to where the sun would naturally hit you, which is the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, the forehead, and the chin. As you notice, I'm not swiping. I'm stippling into the skin to just kind of make the bronzer stay on longer, adhere to the skin, and look a little more natural. Again, you can add more and more as desired. She's got very porcelain skin, so I don't need to use a lot of bronzer. I don't want her to look fake. I just want to give a little bit of a healthy glow. I also like to take bronzer a little bit on the neck and the chest if it's open just to even out color so the face doesn't look different than the rest of the body. A nice big brush is useful for bronzer. You really want to use a nice big buffing brush. A little brush won't apply it as nice. Once it's all nice and even, you can move on to blush."
