Bronzer!

Hello, my gorgeous, beautiful, amazing fans! Because it's getting closer and closer to summer, today I want to talk BRONZER! Bronzer is probably one of the greatest inventions of all time. It can help contour your face, give you some color and generally improve life. There are a few really important tips I can give about bronzer. One of them took me years to realize, but the realization was worth the years of mistakes. It is really important to use a matte bronzer when contouring your face. I love to accentuate my beautiful cheekbones and contour my nose, and the mistake I used to make was using a bronzer with shimmer in it for this job. When contouring anything, it is SO important to use a matte bronzer, otherwise you'll get a shiny, orange nose! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE shimmery bronzers, but now I know to apply them above my initial matte bronzer and blend them together.

For my matte bronzer I use one by MAC, which is just called "matte bronze." It's a nice texture and goes on well. Honestly, it is hard to find a matte bronzer because so many companies primarily make bronzer with shimmer. How much shimmer and what specific color you like is up to you, but one of my favorite bronzers with shimmer is Pink Leopard from Too Faced. I like to apply this above my matte bronzer, and then put the Lorac highlighter I told you about, on the top of my cheekbones. Also, it has some pink tones in it, so it does the job of giving you the bronzed look and giving you a pink, healthy glow. I will say, this product is geared more towards lighter skin tones, so if you have a darker skin tone, or you just want a darker bronzer, I like Sun Bunny from Too Faced. They also make palettes with multiple colors in them that last an extremely an long time if you want different colors throughout the year. Can't wait till I get more of a tan and can REALLY get my bronze on!
