FYI about Bronzing for you girls...

HOW TO USE BRONZER
BY LAURA HIGBEE

· If you have a light complexion, use sheer bronzers with pinkish or peach shimmer. Avoid bronzers that are too brown, as they can make your skin seem muddy or dirty.
· If you have a medium skin tone, you are very lucky and can probably use any bronzer. The best shades for you, however, would be gold or brown with a tiny bit of orange.
· As for dark-skinned ladies, brownish-red bronzers look the most flattering on you.
Apply bronzer where the sun naturally hits, such as the tops of your arms, shoulders, chest, and on the face- temples of the forehead, bridge of the nose, chin and cheekbones.
Cleavage- Sweep a line of bronzer between breasts to create a shadow (the shadow that naturally occurs when you have cleavage). Be sure to blend bronzer.

Abs- Take some bronzer and go along your natural oblique curves on the sides, not too dark though, just like shadowing on a picture, then follow the natural center ab cut with an even lighter bronzer stroke or shade, then lightly go across if you want the full pack but it will look less fake if you just do the sides.

Sculpt your leg muscles by putting bronzer right where the calf muscle starts.


TIPS

· A wide and fluffy powder brush will work best.
· Ideally you should never choose a bronzer that is more than 2 shades darker than your natural skin tone.
· Always make sure you blend the bronzer in well.
· If you have really dark skin, you can try creating cleavage by using a shimmery highlighter that is two shades lighter than your complexion.
· Don’t over do it.
· Bronzer should enhance your natural beauty, not dominate your complexion.


BRONZER VS BLUSH

Blush is reserved for the apples of the cheeks. To find the apples of your cheeks look in a mirror and smile. Use gentle, sweeping motions starting at the center of your apple, and move up and outwards towards the corner of your eye and up to the temple. Blush is ideal for brightening up pale/fair skin. Bronzer creates a sun kissed complexion and unlike blush, it isn’t restricted to just the cheeks.
