Regardless of the season, which is in the yard, many fashionistas wear bronzer in their cosmetic bags. What is it, not everyone knows. In this article we will reveal all the secrets of a trendy tool.
Why do I need a bronzer?
A well-groomed woman is by no means the one who regularly observes personal hygiene, uses masks for various parts of the body, makes beautiful styling and visits a nail salon. A well-groomed woman should have a glamorous gloss. To give the image an aesthetic completeness, modern multifunctional cosmetics are needed. So, facial bronzers just fit the multifunctional category. With the help of these cosmetics, available in the form of a regular powder or foundation, you can give your face a radiant golden hue, as well as hide noticeable imperfections on the face. Correction of the shape of the face and giving the look a glamorous shine - that's why the beauties instantly fell in love with new cosmetics.
When to use bronzer?
If you already know what bronzers are for your face, and believe that you need to use them exclusively in the warm season, when natural sunlight caresses your skin, you are deeply mistaken. In fact, you can successfully use the presented cosmetic product in the cold cloudy season. Do not be afraid that the product will contrast in color with the rest of the body, but just pick a lighter shade. On the contrary, after a long and harsh winter, daily use of a bronzer will help to quickly give your face a healthy, radiant and flowering look.
Important Caution
You are not familiar with a product like bronzer, what is it, don’t you know? Then we want to make one small warning for you. Going to the store, it is important not to get lost in all the richness of the assortment and choose exactly what you need. Some inexperienced beauties in this matter confuse the presented product with bronzers that are applied to the entire body to achieve a tanning effect and last for several days. Bronzer (the product photo we provided in this publication) does not have amino acids penetrating into the upper layers of the skin and lasts like a normal makeup for several hours.
Product varieties
The most popular are bronzers, produced in the form of powder, as well as products with a creamy texture.
The friable product is best suited for owners of oily and combination skin, especially because of the ability to matte oily sheen. In addition, the product, produced in the form of compact powder, does not require professional application skills .
The best bronzer for owners of dry skin is a product that is available in the form of a liquid creamy texture. In the winter season, when the skin of many women is particularly prone to dryness and peeling, the use of liquid textures seems more appropriate and effective. The funds presented are also issued in the form of a stick, however, without mastering special skills, their application looks very problematic. We cannot but mention bronzers, which incorporate reflective particles and sparkles, which are ideal for going out, for example, at a festive party.
Effects of using the product
In addition to giving your face a slightly tanned radiant appearance, you can achieve great results with the bronzer. So, the tool helps to successfully mask freckles, wrinkles, the presence of a double chin, an overly long nose and a high forehead. If blush alone is not able to give the cheekbones the desired volume, then in this case it is the bronzer that will come to the rescue. Reviews of the tool indicate that with the help of it you can easily adjust stretch marks, microcracks, and also give the face a healthy and radiant look.
Choose the right shade
Each cosmetic company produces a series of bronzers. And the choice, depending on the manufacturer, is entirely determined by the taste preferences of women. But when choosing the perfect color, we advise you to listen to our recommendations. In fact, the palette of shadows varies from the lightest to the darkest. First of all, focus on your natural complexion and do not allow too much contrast. The same nuances relate to the choice of such a cosmetic product as a bronzer for the body. Light- skinned women need to pay attention to natural shades, and owners of dark skin - on chocolate and brick. In large stores, testers are always laid out on shelves with cosmetic products, and in case of doubt, every woman will be able to apply a layer of the product on the outside of her hands.
How to apply bronzer: practical tips
We begin to apply the product in small portions, if it is liquid, brush off the excess from the brush, if the composition is dry. Remember that an excess of funds on the face can play a cruel joke with the appearance: it simply gives the appearance of unnaturalness. And in some cases, an excessive layer of bronzer on the face is able to visually age a woman. We do not need such effects, especially when the hand is not yet full for the perfect application. Therefore, we will firmly understand the golden rule: a minimum of funds and thorough shading.
Tips from professionals: never apply the selected composition immediately to the whole face, even if you are lucky enough to be the owner of the perfect oval without any flaws. In this case, focus on the most entering areas of the face. And if you want to simulate a perfect oval, get a three-color palette where each of the shades (light, pink and bronze) should not be mixed. In this case, each color is superimposed exclusively on the “own” area, creating the necessary glare on the face.

- First, the product is applied to both cheekbones, drawing a thin line in the form of the letter C. It is necessary to ensure that on both cheeks there is approximately the same amount of the product used. It is also necessary to ensure that the lower part of the line does not reach the border of the lips by 2 cm. The applied line on the cheekbones is immediately thoroughly shaded.
- We continue to apply the composition. Now we emphasize the forehead and apply a small amount of the product along the hairline.
- To give the nose the desired sophistication, thin strips are applied to the sides and shaded again carefully.
Neck and Neckline
The face is not the only part of the body that the bronzer is applied to. Customer reviews indicate a sharp contrast with the neck and décolleté and giving the image some disunity if the product is not used in all open areas close to the face. We are used to the fact that the foundation does not need to be applied to the neck, and with the bronzer this number will not work. We draw very fine lines on the neck in the perpendicular direction from the chin. Feather well again. To give the evening look of harmony, bronzer is also applied to the neckline and shoulders.
How can you emphasize the radiance of the face?
