A bronzer powder such as our Butternut Bronzer is designed to give you a “sunkissed” look.  There are several different ways to apply a bronzer, and several different uses.  I prefer to use a large Fan Brush to sweep the bronzer all over the face to warm up the complexion.  Using a large Fan Brush keeps the coverage light, so that the bronzer is not showing too strongly.  You can also use a large Powder Brush if you like to have a little bit more color.  Just be careful!  A little bronzer goes a long way and you don’t want to get caught looking Bronzerexic!

You can also use your bronzer as a blush, or under a blush.  This will just warm up your cheeks a bit more than a blush alone.  You’ll definitely want to use the Fan Brush for this application.  The powder brush will just be too much!

Lastly, and my favorite, is to use the bronzer as a contour color.  Imagine drawing a number three starting at your temple in your hairline.  Move to just under your cheekbone, stopping right before you hit the “apple” of your cheek.  Finish up by moving to just under your jawline, stopping just before you reach your chin.  Do this on both sides and you will have amplified your cheekbones while slimming your face and jawline!  To complete the look, apply a blush color to the apples of your cheeks.  To really kick this look into high gear use the Fan Brush again to sweep some Shimmer Dust onto the tops of your cheekbones above the blush for a highlighted effect!

All three of these methods will help you keep your skin looking just from the beach bronzed!  Enjoy your skin having a healthy color all year long without the harmful effects of the suns rays.
