Bronzer

Who said that bronzer was only for those of the fairer complexion? Bronzer can save dark skin from a world of evils. It may be used to achieve that bronzed goddess glow or it can be a subtle stand in for foundation.

Bronzer should be added along the bridge of your nose, on the apples of your cheeks, and the top of your cheekbones in order to achieve a gorgeous, natural outdoorsy glow. Just remember that less is more and use a light hand when applying your bronzer. I like to layer bronzer and blush since I find that this gives a really great depth of colour.


If you have darker skin, pick a shade two tones darker than your skin tone and use it to highlight your cheekbones. Pick a brown-based bronzer to look the most natural. Ones that are more orange-based will look cakey by the end of the day.

Those with oily skin should opt for powder bronzers and should stay away from the liquid formulations that are best suited for dry skin.
