Bronzer Tips

Avoid coppery eye shadows and lipsticks, or you risk looking too bronzed. If your bronzer looks too flat or too dark, very lightly apply a touch of blush to your cheekbones. use a peach, coral, or rosy-hued cream blush on the apples of the cheeks. You can also use a blush in a pink shade - but not too pink. This will give you a naturally rosy glow. This will add a brightening finishing touch.

Lighter Bronzer

This hue will seamlessly blend with you skin and give it a golden glow. Use a light touch by sweeping it across your forehead, cheeks and the bridge of your nose and blend well. When it comes to pale skin, a little bronzer goes a long way. The adage "less is more" is particularly true in terms of the amount of product applied. When in doubt, always go with the bronzer that's lighter than what you think you'll actually need. Wear simple makeup. Often just mascara and a nude or red lip color is enough to complement your bronzed glow.

Honey Toned Bronzer

For fair skin, I suggest using bronzer that offers just the faintest hint of a tan. Remember when using a bronzer, don’t choose a color that is too bronze or you’ll end up looking unnaturally tanned compared to the rest of your body. The key to finding the perfect shade is to choose one that is one to two shades darker than your natural complexion. Using a darker shade will result in an unnatural look. A sheer beige-brown or honey-toned bronzer with a hint of peach or shimmery pink is great for fair complexion.

Fair Skin Bronzer

Achieving that natural tan can be tricky for those with fair complexion. You can spend countless hours under the sun to get a tan but this is very harmful to your skin. A pale, fair complexion can be tricky particularly when using bronzers as it can show up way too much on this particular skin type. Applying the product unevenly can make your face look dirty and applying too much can give you an unnatural orange tinge. If the thought of bronzer has always scared you, there are a range of bronzing options from the faintest hint to full-on glow.
