Bronzer

Bronzer provides a summery complexion by giving the face a light and natural tan. In addition, bronzer can also be used to contour the face.

How to pick the right shade of bronzer

When buying a bronzer, make sure that the colour matches your skin type. A little trick for choosing the right colour: Apply a little bronzer to the lower wrist. If the colour direction matches, the powder pigments appear more vivid and radiant. As a rule, you should only use a shade slightly darker than your own skin colour. The aim is to create a natural complexion. For the final purchase decision, it is advisable to try the bronzer directly on the cheekbones.

What consistency should the bronzer have?

People with oily or combination skin should use bronzing powder. This conceals shiny areas by mattifying excess sebum. For dry skin, however, it is advisable to use liquid or cream bronzer, as its moisture nourishes the facial skin and makes the complexion more radiant.

Where to apply bronzer

Ideally, apply bronzer so that it covers the entire face like the number 3, starting at the sides of the forehead (leaving the centre of the forehead bare) and working your way around the edges of the face. Underneath the cheeks, apply a slight hint of make-up towards the corner of the mouth to create the shape of a 3. Gently blend the colour to avoid hard edges.

How to apply bronzer

The key to avoiding blotchy areas and creating a natural look is the right foundation. It ensures an even skin tone. The next step is to apply bronzer. But be careful: never apply powdery bronzer with your fingers, use a brush instead! Massage it into the skin with the brush in circular motions to create a soft finish.
