How to Contour with Bronzer?

Published in Makeup Application 2 mins read

To effectively contour with bronzer, apply it where the sun naturally hits your face, using circular motions.

Key Steps for Bronzer Contouring

Here's a breakdown of how to contour using bronzer, drawing from video instructions:

1. Identifying Placement

  • Cheekbones: Focus bronzer application on the cheekbones.
    • The reference explains that this is where the sun naturally hits your face, creating a natural-looking shadow effect.

2. Application Technique

  • Circular Motions: Apply bronzer using circular motions.
    • This technique helps to blend the product seamlessly into the skin.
  • Upwards Motion: Bring the bronzer upwards towards your hairline.
    • This blends the bronzer and makes the contour look natural.

3. Blending

* Ensure there are no harsh lines and the bronzer blends seamlessly into the skin. 

Bronzer vs. Contour

It's important to note the distinction between bronzer and contour:

Feature Bronzer Contour
Purpose Adds warmth, mimics sun-kissed skin Creates shadows, defines features
Undertone Warm, golden, shimmery Cool, neutral, matte
Application Areas the sun would naturally hit Hollows of cheeks, jawline, nose

Note: While the reference primarily discusses bronzer application, the information can be used to perform contouring with a bronzer by focusing on the hollows of the cheeks rather than simply on the cheekbones, but contouring is best achieved using cooler tones rather than warm bronzer shades.
