Mineral bronzers are a great way of giving you that tawny, sun kissed look. They are also rich in naturally occurring ingredients which are excellent for the skin and do not harm the skin with prolonged use.

The first step to using a mineral bronzer is to choose the right product that goes perfectly well with your skin tone. Always go for products of good repute from well-known companies only. Consult a dermatologist if needed. Here are some of the basic steps in applying a mineral bronzer

Best Tips For Using A Mineral Bronzer

Choosing The Right Bronzer

Make sure you choose a mineral bronzer that is just a shade darker than your skin. Choosing too dark a shade will make you look dull and too light a shade will make you look sallow. A shade darker allows the bronzer to blend well into your skin giving you that perfect, rosy, tanned glow.

Prepping Your Face

The first step is to clean and prep your face before you apply the bronzer. Make sure you use a good quality face wash to completely rinse and wash your face off all dirt and grime. Tone your skin by using a skin toner and gently moisturise your face to make the skin soft and supple.

Apply The Foundation

Now choose the correct shade of foundation and liberally apply it all over your face to achieve an even skin tone. Use a concealer if you have blemished and dark circles. The concealer works well to cover pigmented and dark patches on the skin.

Application Of The Bronzer

It is very important to use the correct brush to apply the bronzer. Specially designed brushes are now available to apply the bronzer. Use a bronzer brush to gently dust the bronzing powder on your cheeks.

Apply the bronzer on areas, which tan easily in the sun like cheeks, forehead, nose and chin. Use more bronzer on the nose and cheeks. Bronzer on the cheeks will eventually give you that perfect sun kissed look. Use additional bronzer if desired.

The Slimming Effect

A bronzer can be used to give your jaw line a sharper look by dusting the powder on the cheekbones. Use a blush powder on the apples of your cheeks for the perfect touch up.

Blending

It is important to also blend all the areas well after the bronzer has been applied. Make sure you use the tips of your fingers to blend in the bronzer. Use your fingertips to gently pat on the areas where bronzer has been applied. Your bronzed look is now ready for display.

Dos And Don’ts

Never apply the bronzer without first prepping the skin. Make sure you apply a sunscreen lotion especially before you step out in the sun. Keep the other aspects of makeup simple. Do not go overboard with the blush on, lipstick or eye makeup. Remember, it is important to look natural. Avoid getting the bronzing powder in your eye area as that could hurt. Try to keep the look as natural as possible.
