Bronzing Face Powder


People shouldn't be judged by their skin color. That being said, there's absolutely nothing wrong with picking a skin color that looks better on you. A bronzer is one of the ways people can do that. It is a cosmetic item used and applied onto the skin to change it into a bronze color. This tends to lend people a younger, fresher look if used properly.


So, how do you use bronzing face powder?


Picking the Right Bronzing Powder


In business, location tends to occupy the top three spots when it comes to importance. When it comes to bronzers, you have to pick the right one, too. If you pick the wrong one, it won't matter how well you apply it or how you dress around it - it won't work.


Picking the right bronzing face powder is first a matter of picking one that complements your skin tone. Don't go too dark with the bronzing powder as it will end up making you look filthy rather than bronzed. One or two shades darker is perfect but no more. The next thing is that you should pick the right kind of applicator. It can come in liquid, sticks, beads and powder. Don't hesitate to experiment with the one that works best for your look.


Applying Your Bronzing Powder


You have to look for the right amount of bronzer to apply. Putting too much to be sure isn't the philosophy to go by here. Go with a wide fluffy brush to get it onto your face as this will increase the chances that you'll get the even spread you're aiming for. You're targeting your chin, cheeks and, of course, your forehead. Blending can be done easily - simply apply it lightly at first then work from there. If you have too little on, it's an easy thing to fix. Put too much and you'll end up wasting your bronzer.


You can progress from a light application to the point where you get the shade best for your skin. Make sure that you skip out on bronze lipstick and eyeliner, as combined those with bronzing face powder can lead to an overly bronzed look. Keep the rest of your paint simple. Go with a warm look for your eyes and sheer lips to complement the look better.


Miscellaneous Tips


It can't be stressed how much a big fluffy brush can make applying bronzer easier. If the brush you're using is too narrow, you'll end up with a somewhat uneven application. Uneven can be bad just as over-application as it leads to a dirty and filthy look which is definitely not what you're looking for.


Feel free to experiment with it. Try different thickness, different combinations of makeup to find out which one works for you. Sure, it might look and seem expensive at the start, but it'll be cheaper in the long run as you'll end up using your bronzer more efficiently. Bronzing powder is fairly new so there are no big super rules that you have to follow. Go ahead, try it out for yourself and see how it can improve your look.
