"Ok, now that we have the foundation and powder on, we're going to move on to bronzer. And I love bronzer. I think bronzer is one of the best things that you can have in your makeup collection. Especially in the wintertime when you're not seeing any sunshine, it gives you a really natural glow, just like the sun would. So, when you're choosing your bronzer, you want to choose a very natural bronzer. Nothing too sparkly, but you can have them with a little bit of shimmer. But nothing too glittery, because you don't want to look like you're a glitter ball, you just want to have that natural sun-kissed glow. So again, with bronzer, same as powder, you want to just do it sparingly and just add a little more and al little more as you go. Nice big fluffy brush really, really helps. With something like bronzer, you want a really nice big fluffy brush. And you want to apply your bronzer exactly where the sun would hit you. So if you were out in the sun, where would you get a little bit of sunburn? The bridge of your nose, your cheekbones, your forehead, and your chin, so that's exactly where you want your bronzer to go. You want to go on the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, your forehead, and your chin. And again, keep adding as you want. Just don't do it too dark again, you want it to be natural. And you can even take a little bit onto your neck and your chest. That'll give a little bit of a color to your body if you have an open shirt on. Just make everything look smooth and neat. Now if your bronzer's a really, really pretty natural color, you can also use it as a blush. And you can just concentrate it right on your cheekbones. Especially if you want a really, really, really natural look. There you go."
