1. Choose the colour
bronzer
Bronze
Yourself
Summer’s here, which
means it’s the perfect
time to show off a
radiant, sun kissed
complexion. When it
comes to applying a
bronzer like a pro, the
golden rule is to use
as little product as
possible so that the
end result is
believably natural.
Too much bronzer
and the wrong shade
can completely ruin
your look.
We’ve rounded up
some steps to show
you how to apply a
bronzer like a pro:
It’s essential to choose the
colour bronzer that best
works for your skin tone,
generally the bronzer should
be two shades darker than
your natural skin tone.
2. Use a specialized
bronzer brush

3. Check the bronzer
application
The brush must be firm and
able to buff and contour the
right amount of bronzer into
your skin. This should
provide a smooth, even
application.(Usually a
bronzer brush is wide, fluffy
with a rounded top)
3. Swirl the brush
evenly in the
bronzer
Remember a little goes a long
way, buff the bronzer onto
your face in the shape of the
number 3 starting from the
top of the forehead,
cheekbones, and down along
your jawline. Use very light
strokes and ensure that you
focus on areas that are
exposed to the sun. Buff
another application onto
your neck to blend face, neck,
and body colour together for
a seamless effect.
To get that natural glowing
look make sure that when
applying a bronzer you have
sufficient light. Check if your
application is not too much,
If too much, blend it down
evenly with a cotton pad
using a light hand circular
motion, this helps build up
smooth sheer layers.
