Don’t fancy the pale, fair skin a la Kristen Stewart but not a fan of tanning by the pool or at tanning salons? Your solution is simple – bronzers. They are a great cosmetic staple for every woman. It can make your skin look instantly sun kissed and glowing; it can also add some warmth to your skin, waking up tired, sallow looking skin. It’s important that you pick the right bronzer shade. You don’t want your skin to look unnatural, dirty or fake. Generally, it should only be a few shades darker than your actual skin tone. For those with fair skin, look for a honey coloured bronzer, those with a medium complexion should choose a rose-bronze or gold flecked bronzer while those with dark skin should pick a tawny or amber bronzer.

Next, is the application. Choose a wide, fluffy powder brush with an angled or rounded top so it fits nicely in the hollows of your cheekbones. If the brush is too small and stiff, it will look blotchy. If you want to achieve the sun kissed effect, apply it to areas of the face where the sun would naturally hit. The bronzer can also help give your face a more sculpted look. Apply it on the sides of your forehead and below your cheekbones. By applying it on your jawline, it can help soften angular features. You could also apply it along the sides of your nose. It’s best applied against daylight so you can check for streaks and make sure it’s not applied to heavily.
