Don't Make Mistakes, 3 Correct Ways to Use Bronzer

Dream - Are you someone who wears makeup every day? Usually, the makeup used is lipstick, powder, and blush to make the face look fresher. You should also use bronzer to make the face look slimmer and more dimensional.

Pay attention to how to apply bronzer for a more natural, neat, non-dull, and long-lasting makeup result. As reported by Makeup.com, here's how to use bronzer for a natural result.

How to Apply Bronzer

1. Don't Use Excessively

Lancome Makeup Artist, Darais suggests using bronzer only in a few areas of the face in small amounts to make the face look fresher. Apply it under the cheekbones, on both sides of the nose, along the hairline, under the chin, and on the neck to make your face look slimmer.

2. Use a Brush as an Applicator

According to Darais, bronzer is best applied with a brush. "The use of a brush as an applicator depends on the desired end result. The softer the brush, the softer the result. Conversely, if you want a more defined end result, you can choose a brush according to your needs," she said. 

Use a soft-bristled brush to make the application of bronzer look more glowing. If you want a more defined end result, use a dense-bristled brush.

3. Choose the Right Bronzer Formula

Not only skincare, but you also need to adjust your makeup products to your skin type. "The trick to making bronzer last all day is by using a formula that suits your skin type," said Darais.

Dream friends must remember that the use of bronzer and contouring are two different things. "Contouring is used to create shadows, while bronzer is used to make the skin look dimensional."

Turn Bronzer into Contour with Blue Makeup

Dream - Many people still can't differentiate between contour and bronzer. They have the same color, but different undertones.

Bronzer has a warm brown color, while contour has a cool undertone. Usually, someone only has bronzer or contour to make the face look more dimensional practically.

Use Blue Makeup

Use cream-based makeup like blue color corrector on the areas where you want to apply contour, so that the bronzer color looks cooler.

Blend the blue-colored liquid makeup with your fingers or a sponge to make your makeup look neat. You can also mix bronzer and blue-colored makeup evenly before applying it to your face for a more natural result.
