The new bronze is beautifully understated and elegant for a believable, warm glow not a muddy orange mask you can spot 100 metres away. We've moved on from heavy, glittery shimmer and on to sophisticated, expensive looking skin that glistens. The overall effect is bronzed, sophisticated and contoured.
Bronzing formulations have come along way and bronzer is the perfect product that can fake a well rested glow, make the whites of your eyes brighter and even make your teeth look whiter. Think honey- bronze for natural light and shade with glints of gold.
A warm healthy glow is flattering for all complexions. The right bronzer can literally shed a few years off if applied correctly. Contouring and sculpting the face is the simplest way to create natural definition to the face. Always apply bronzer to the face ‘hot spots’ for definition just under the cheekbone and on the temples to lift the face shape and blush to the apples for radiance.
Layering bronzer and blush has a double benefit. The bronzer brings out the cheekbone and the blush adds some glow. Add a pop of colour to the apples of the cheeks with a dusting of luminescent blush right on top of the bronzer.
The biggest mistake people make when using bronzer to to completely and evenly cover the entire face with bronzer which creates a flat, muddy and overall unflattering effect.
Glittery bronzers can have a tendency to settle in fine lines and draw attention to wrinkles so choose a soft shimmer finish or better yet a bronzer combo of a matte tone and a second lighter hue with a soft gleam. To avoid looking overdone, choose a highlighter that looks like your skin tone, just slightly more golden.
A two toned bronzer will deliver just the right amount of light and shade to your skin for an all over glow. The golden rule: Less is more.
If your skin tone is:
Peaches and Cream: Choose soft pink based bronzers adding some warmth and freshness to the skin without looking like you’re wearing anything at all.
Caramel & Honey Toned: Choose a slightly green undertoned bronzer as this allows the bronze and gold tones to shine through without looking too orange on the skin.
Olive:Choose a bronzer with varying shades of brown, gold and bronze to give darker features greater definition and highlight.
For evening opt to use a bronzer one shade darker than the colour you use every day to sculpt the cheekbones, under the brow bone and the décolletage.
Expert tip: Swirling the bronzing brush along the hairline, around the cheekbone and under the jaw line in a large #3 shape creates the perfect look for a natural sun kissed effect and to make it look real.
A naturally bronzed face looks incredible with this seasons aqua toned eye shadows with a golden illuminator down the nose, along the cheekbones and a little across the décolletage.
Make a glowing statement - Add some sparkle with a sweep of metallic yellow gold or molten copper to the inner corners of your eyes or add a touch to the centre of your lip for extra fullness.
The travel size kabuki brush has dense goat bristles for even distribution of powder and is super soft to glide over your delicate skin.
