Powder bronzers for your face

To achieve a sun kissed, gold brown look to your skin, use a bronzer on certain areas of your face. There are many different forms of bronzers, but I prefer to use either the loose or pressed powder bronzers myself. You’ll love the healthy, and sexy look it will give you.

A bronzer is the perfect substitute for having a beautiful glow without going under harsh outdoor sunlight or extremely harmful rays you get from tanning beds. Always start with a light bronzer shade. If you like the effect, you can then decide to move up to a darker color. Always apply with a good quality, soft powder/blush brush to smoothly and evenly distribute the color; this will help even the deepest bronzers to go on beautifully without streaking.

You should apply a bronzer in areas where the sun usually hits your face, normally on your cheekbones, bridge of the nose, chin, and lightly on your forehead. You can use them all year round, but for the summer time, bronzers are especially a great substitute to your blush. For color on your cheeks, always apply directly on the apples of your cheeks and blend out and up towards the temple area; but not too high.

Remember to never ever apply too close to the nose either. Some bronzers are very good for your skin since some contain natural sunscreen. You can even buy some with specks of shimmer for that extra glow.
