Summer is here, and it’s time to prepare our dresses, sandals, shorts… and summer makeup. When you hear summer makeup, what’s your first thought? Bronzer? That should be right. Bronzer is the perfect tool for giving your face that much-needed warmth when you’re avoiding sun that can be pretty harmful to your skin.

Why Bronzer?

Bronzer is a great way to add warmth to your face. It should never be used all over your face to make it darker – it will look ridiculous. Instead, use it on the parts of your face that naturally catch sun first, such as cheekbones, hairline, and jawline.

How to Pick a Shade?

Rule #1: Never go too dark. You need to be aware of your natural skin tone and its undertones and pick the bronzer accordingly. Try out a few samples before committing.

Which Brush to Use?

The answer to this one is actually simple – a big puffy brush is all you need! Be careful while applying it, though. Don’t use too much product and blend well, so you don’t end up with dark patches on your face.

When to Apply Bronzer?

Bronzer should generally be applied at the end of your makeup routine – after foundation and setting powder.
