Where to Place Bronzer?

Published in Makeup Application 2 mins read

Bronzer is typically applied to areas where the sun naturally hits the face, to create a warm, sculpted look.

Common Areas for Bronzer Application:

  • Hairline: Applying bronzer along the hairline helps to warm up the forehead and create a more balanced look.
  • Hollows of the Cheeks: This is the most common area for bronzer application. Applying bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks (found by making a "fish face") creates definition and enhances your cheekbones.
  • Along the Nose: A light dusting of bronzer along the sides of the nose can help to slim and define it. Be careful not to apply too much, as this can look unnatural.
  • Jawline: Bronzer along the jawline helps to define the jaw and create a more sculpted appearance. Start application behind the ear and blend forward to avoid a harsh line.

Tips for Applying Bronzer:

  • Use a fluffy brush: A fluffy brush will help to blend the bronzer seamlessly into your skin.
  • Tap off excess product: This will prevent you from applying too much bronzer.
  • Start with a light hand: You can always add more bronzer, but it's difficult to remove it once it's applied.
  • Blend, blend, blend! Blending is key to creating a natural-looking bronzed effect.

Additional Bronzer Placement:

  • Temples: Lightly dust bronzer on your temples to add warmth to the face.
  • Crease of the Eyes: A touch of bronzer in the crease of your eyes can add depth and dimension.
  • Neck: Blend bronzer down onto your neck to avoid a harsh line between your face and neck.

By applying bronzer strategically to these areas, you can achieve a sun-kissed, sculpted look.
