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.
