Question: Where, exactly, should I apply bronzer?
Answer: While a bronzer can be the quickest way to give your skin a golden glow, applying it can be a bit tricky. Makeup artists suggest you base the application on the texture of the product. Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
Gel or Serum: These are the sheerest, lightest formulas and give a dewy effect to the skin. Spread a small amount all over your face for a subtle glow.
Powder: These are best for controlling oily skin and creating a matte effect. Blend with a light hand on the temple, bridge of the nose and cheeks.
Cream: Perfect for adding luminescence, these should be blended on cheekbones and temple; skip the nose.
Shimmer: Any bronzer with shimmer should be restricted to the cheekbones as it would look unnatural and odd at any other place.
