Types Of Bronzers
Add the Bronzer for that natural sun-kissed glow or for the sleep, sculpted look, it would be a year-round requirement of your makeup bag. It is just one of those makeup products that truly makes everyone look better.
Based on what skin type you have, you can choose a bronzer formula that is best suited to you.
Powder Bronzer:
Powder bronzers are the classic bronzers of all time. It is suitable for almost all skin types, but especially if your skin is more on the oily side. Apply it with a brush and blend it well, building it up gradually. If you just load your brush too much and apply it at once, it might end up looking harsh and unblended.
Cream Bronzer:
Cream bronzers will offer you a more subtle glow and are better suited for dry skin types. Just like the cream blushes, they can also be applied with your fingers or with a brush, that is your choice, and tend to last longer. Cream bronzers have a moist look to it, but not sparkle.
Liquid Bronzer:
Liquid bronzers are pretty similar to cream bronzers, except they have a thin consistency. The best thing about them is that they can blend seamlessly with your foundation, it just requires a bit more blending effort
Bronzer Finishes
Whether you want a natural glow for an everyday look, or something a little more extra and shimmery for party nights, there are different types of bronzer finishes to satisfy your requirements.
Matte Bronzer:
Matte bronzers are better at adding depth and definition to your face along with warmth, and they work well with all types of skin. Matte bronzers can also be used for countering, by applying it on the sides of the face, under the cheekbones, under the jawline, and the top of the forehead. These bronzers can also be used to contour the nose to make it appear more defined.
Shimmer Bronzer:
Shimmer bronzers are good for getting a more subtle, luminous, summer glow. But you would not normally use this one to contour. You should typically use a shimmery bronzer on the cheekbones and up towards the temples, where the sunlight would normally hit your face. If you have any blemishes or bumps on your face, keep in mind that the shimmer in the bronzer works as a highlighter and will just bring more attention to them.
Sheer Bronzer:
Sheer bronzer packs less color then the last two, but this one is perfect if you do not really want any definition, just a natural glow that makes you look like a tan goddess. Apply the sheer bronzer on your face, where the sun would naturally fall, like the cheekbones and temples.
Bronzers According To Skin Tone
Fair Skin:
To avoid looking like you have got a bad fake tan, select a bronzer palette having lighter tan shades and pinkish colors that is no more than two shades deeper than your usual foundation, so it won’t look harsh on your pale skin. The subtle shimmer finish will also help add color and a believable glow to pale tones. Matte formula bronzers can make you look cakey.
Olive Skin:
Bronzers with warm undertones, like yellows and golds, will bring out the warmth that is already in your skin. A shimmer-free formula is flattering for your skin tone as it enhances those natural undertones, rather than competing them. For an even glow, try layering your bronzer over a subtle peach cheek tint.
Medium Skin:
Choose a bronzer that is too light will wash you out, so go for a middle of the road shades which has no reflective qualities. Matter bronzers can be tricky to apply evenly, so make sure your skin is prepped with a smoothing, shine-absorbing product before you brush it on.
Medium-Deep Skin:
Matte bronzers can make darker skin tones look ashen or dull, so choose a bronzer with neutral undertones and very subtle shimmer to more glowy and less powdery. Rosy, lightweight cheeks will give you a more natural finish that looks like you have been out in the sun.
Deep Skin:
With deeper skin tones, you should think of your bronzer as more of a highlighter that adds warmth and dewiness, and can give you a sun-drenched look. Try out the warmer undertones and subtle shimmers. It is recommended to apply bronzer after a BB cream or liquid foundation for maximum dewiness and long-lasting glow.
How To Apply Bronzer?
When it comes to perfectly applying a bronzer, you have to start with knowing which shade to use. You should ideally pick a bronzer that is one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone. Choose a fluffy brush, with a rounded top. It should not be too small or too dense and stiff as it might leave streaks. There are various bronzers that you can get at LimeRoad. You should ideally apply the bronzer on the top of your forehead, under the cheekbones, and down under your jawline. You can also sweep it along the side of your nose to give it more definition.
Most people sometimes grab the bronzer. And they throw it on their forehead. If you put it in the middle of your forehead, you will end up seeing a striped line. Therefore, it is better to use it to frame the face, if you only put it into the hairline, it will definitely give you a nice definition without being obvious. Remember to always use a light touch, and start slow, since it is easier to add more than removing it. Placement of the bronzer is also really important. Keep it on the perimeter of the face with a touch across the bridge of the nose, but not so much as to make the center of the face look muddy. Rather than putting the bronzer on the cheekbones, apply it almost between the hollow and the cheekbone. It will give you naturalistic depth.
Think about where the sun glow will fall, those are the places where the bronzer should be focused. Use a light, circular motion to blend the bronzer. To make it easy for you, use the number three rule: start at the top of your forehead, just over your temple, bring the brush down and under your cheekbone, then back again and under the jawline, mimicking the shape of number three.
