Question 3

SHOULD BRONZER BE LIGHTER OR DARKER THAN YOUR SKIN TONE?

Accepted Answer

Bronzer should ideally be one to two shades darker than your natural skin tone to give you that sun-kissed, warm glow. If you go too dark, your bronzer may result in an unnatural appearance and muddy look. It is important to choose a shade that complements your skin tone and blends into your skin seamlessly for a natural-looking finish. A contouring palette or bronzer palette is a great way to choose from a variety of shades. Another consideration is whether your skin undertone is cool, neutral, or warm, as this can help dictate the shade you should use. For example, if your skin is pale, try a bronzer that is beige or yellow-tan. For medium skin, try shades that are darker than your skin tone that go towards the warmer side. For dark skin, the bronzer should usually be very warm and go towards a red bronze.

Question 4

DO YOU PUT BRONZER ON BEFORE OR AFTER BLUSH?

Accepted Answer

We typically recommend applying bronzer before blush. Applying bronzer first can give your face a contoured definition and allows your makeup to absorb into your skin for natural color. Applying bronzer after blush can cause the two to blend together and create a muddy color. You can apply bronzer after your foundation, concealer, and powder. Apply bronzer just below your cheekbone, blush on the apples of your cheeks, and highlighter on the upper cheekbone.

Question 5

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRONZER AND CONTOUR?

Accepted Answer

Both bronzer and contour are used to enhance your facial features and can be used together. Bronzer is used to give your skin a sun-kissed glow and a healthy-looking tan to your complexion. Contouring is used to define and sculpt facial features. Contouring is used more to enhance your bone structure and the shape of your face. Bronzer typically is applied to areas on your face where the sun naturally hits the face such as your cheeks, forehead, and nose. Contour is applied to areas to create a shadow such as your cheekbones, along your jawline, and on the sides of your nose. Good bronzers are available in various shades ranging from light to deep, with warm undertones to look like a natural tan. Contour makeup products are usually matte and available in cooler tones.
