Tip-full Tuesday: How to apply Bronzer


It's 110 degrees outside which means that summer is upon us and everyone wants to get that beautiful, sun kissed look. Here's a quick and easy way to accomplish that without being exposed to skin-damaging sun rays. 

First, locate the hollows of your cheeks. The easiest way to do this is to make a fish face - where your cheeks go in is what you're looking for.
Now, using a contour brush (like MAC's 168) and a bronzer that is 2-3 shades darker than your skin, apply to the hollows of your cheeks (just under the cheekbones) then blend upwards onto the cheeks.
To add more definition to your face, apply at the temples and top of the forehead by your hairline.
You can also contour your nose to make it appear smaller and a little under the chin and along the jawline to bring out your bone structure or to fake a more angular bone structure.


Many of you have asked if you should use a matte or a shimmer bronzer. Use whichever one you would like - makeup is all about self expression. There may be rules and guidelines put in place, but I whole-heartedly believe what Kevin Aucoin says - there is no right or wrong way to do makeup. It's an art form and it's limitless. 


If you have any makeup questions or Tip-full Tuesday suggestions, don't hesitate to ask.
