Bronzer For Dark Skin
Bronzer For Dark Skin
Bronzer is great for fair skinned women who want a tanned look. Most of the black women say that they do not need a bronzer because it is not useful to them. Most dark skinned women overlook the chance to highlight their facial assets such as their cheekbones. A bronzer can work as a multi – purpose cosmetic piece. If you have any slight discoloration on your skin, a bronzer can work to even it up. Sometimes, the face is darker than the neck because the face is exposed to direct sunlight. You can apply bronzer to your neck area in order to make your look more uniform and natural.
Tips in Using a Bronzer For Dark Skin
If you are afraid to look very pale, you want a tan look, or you want to apply contours on your face, a bronzer is the excellent solution for you. But you should apply bronzer smoothly, or your face may look dirty. It is generally ideal to look for bronzer that is 2 shades darker than your skin tone. Before using a bronzer, test it first on the back of your hands. Make sure it looks natural and it subtly “warms” the skin without making it look like it is a fake tan.
You should have 2 bronzers - one for the winter where the skin tends to look pale, and one for the summer. This will keep your makeup uniform and natural looking. If you have a fair skin tone, a honey colored bronzer is best for you. It will make your skin glow. A gold bronzer or a rose-flecked bronzer is the ideal match for medium skin tones. For darker skin tones, your features are best enhanced when you use amber or a tawny shade of bronzer.
In the application of bronzer, choose a brush that has a wide fluffy bristles. If you use a brush that has a small and stiff tip, you’ll end up with a blotchy looking face. Your bronzer can be added when you’re finished applying your concealer and foundation. You can also mix your bronzer with a liquid foundation. This way, your bronzer will look like it’s a part of your skin and it does not look like it is sitting at the top of your face.
How to Apply Bronzer For Dark Skin
- First, select the color of the bronzer that you should use. Bronzer with the color of amber is the most ideal because it gives dark skins a golden undertone color. Put a bronzer on a clear spot on your face first to see if it suits you.
- Use a large makeup brush with a round tip to prevent blotches. Opt also for bristles that have natural fibers. The natural fibers produce the smoothest application compared to synthetic fibers.
- Evenly swirl the brush on your bronzer. Tap off excess bronzer on the brush using a clean tissue.
- Gradually apply a light layer of bronzer on your cheekbones. You can always add more to produce the shade that you prefer.
- Make sure to apply your bronzer in broad daylight to make sure that it complements your dark skin tones. The bronzer should also give you a warm golden glow. You can apply your favorite blush after the bronzer using a makeup pad.
