Make up for Dummies: Bronzing :]

Bronzer

Bronzer can be a girls best friend. It can re shape your face. Certain people even say it can look like you've lost 10 pounds by using it correctly. In my opinion, they exaggerated. lol Bronzer is something I do daily when I do my face. It instantly makes you look healthy and gives more shape to your face. I always like to go for the Kim Kardashian bronze/contour look but not too dark. I love what bronzer does to my cheekbones and I'm sure if you follow the steps I'm about to show you, you will also become a fan of bronzer. :]

Step 1:
Products :]

Now the products I'm showing you are some you can use :]

On the top left I show the NYC sunny bronzer, extremely affordable and easy to find at any drugstore. at the bottom left its my FAVORITE bronzer. Too Faced Endless Summer. I love the glow it gives me but I think i would only use it for the summer time since during Fall and Winter i like to go for the more matte look.

which leads me to the middle (The Pallet) is from Coastal Scents. I think this pallet is a great buy, it comes with 3 highlight pans, 1 bronzer, and 2 blushes! :]

Bronzer should usually be 2 shades darker than your skin but I find that if i blend it, these harsh colors work fine for me. :]

Now for brushes i recomend 2.

1. Angle Brush (typical bronzer or blush brush)

2. Jumbo chisel brush (used for all over powder) but I like using the tip to apply my brozer. =]

Step 2:

you should already have your base (foundation on)

NO NO: Do NOT apply bronzer or blush without a base. Thats not cute! lol It will enhance all your discoloration (redness).

I just have my foundation applied (Laura Mecier Silk Creme Foundation in Beige Ivory and Rimmel Stay Matte in Sand storm pressed powder)

Step 3:

Find your Cheek bone where you will apply the bronzer. (Doing the fishy face can help you find it)

Step 4:

lightly press your brush on the powder bronzer and then tap the excess on your hand.

If you have alot of powder on your brush its going to give you a harsh line when you apply it and a very dark yucky color. :p (harder to blend)

By tapping your brush all the excess will dust off and if you feel like you should apply more bronzer after applying it once, just repeat the steps. LIGHTLY!!!
