"I'm going to apply a bronzer on my model. I just want to give her a nice sun-kissed glow. Like she has a little bit, she has pretty olive skin but, from the winter months pass, I mean we haven't seen much sun, so I'm just going to give her a nice sun-kissed glow. I'm using a bronzer that's pretty neutral, a mid-tone, but with a little bit of an iridescence to it, not glittery, but with just a little iridescence just to give her face that nice sun-kissed glow. I'm going to use a nice big brush, and I'm going to go right onto her face where the sun would naturally hit her. So, if she were to sit in the sun, the sun would naturally hit her on the bridge of the nose, on her cheekbones, a little bit on her forehead, a little bit on her chin. I'm also going to take this a little bit down the chest since her, since her shirt is open. We want everything to look nice and even. I'm just going to bronze a little bit down the neck and the chest, and then again, take it where the sun would naturally hit. Focusing mostly on the cheeks, but also on the rest of the face a little bit as well. You want everything to look blended and even. And just go little by little. See, little by little, we're giving her a little bit of a tan. It just makes you look healthy. Since we're doing oranges, it's nice oranges with kind of golds, and bronzes, and browns. It just looks so much better if you're a little bit tanned. Like I said, add a little bit at a time until you get your desired look. And I think we're good to go, and look, I think she has a little bit of a tan. It looks nice and healthy."
