Beauty Boy: The art of bronzing
It’s that time of year where our
skin is starting to look a little dull
and is lacking colour no matter
what foundation you use. There
is always the option of going to a
tanning bed, but it isn’t the most
affordable or healthy way to bring
back some life to your complexion.
A simple way to add some colour
and dimension to your complexion
is by adding a bronzer to your
makeup routine.
There are many types of bronzers such as liquids, creams and powders that all deliver different textures and finishes, but will all add that glow back to your skin.
Unlike self-tanners that are semi permanent, bronzers can wash off at the end of the day so you have the option of changing your makeup look daily.
One of the newest products to launch is Benefit’s Dew the Hoola. It is a liquid bronzer that has the same beautiful pigments that are in their iconic Hoola powder bronzer (not too orange and not too taupe).
This product can be worn alone on top of your skincare or can be worn on top of your foundation so you can still have a flawless complexion, but with an added glow. This product is lightweight and is perfect for all skin types and tones.
The most popular form of bronzers are powder textures. They can be dusted all over your face, can be used in place of a blush or can even be used to give a subtle contour. Powder bronzers are buildable, so you can achieve either a soft glow or a glamorous, beach-bronzed look.
Powder bronzers come in matte, shimmery and sparkly finishes so there’s definitely a bronzer out there for you. Lise Watier’s Havana, Benefit’s Hoola and Nars Laguna are excellent products that are universal and are must-have bronzers for all makeup lovers.
Cream bronzers are another excellent way to revive the luminosity in your skin. These types of bronzers are usually sheer and easy to blend so they are perfect for beginners and also add dewiness to your complexion. Some of these cream products even come in a stick form so they are perfect for touch ups during the day and have little mess.
Brands such as Smashbox, Nars and Elizabeth Arden all have beautiful cream bronzers that are nice on their own or can even be layered with powder bronzers.
Don’t let the dreary weather get you down and definitely don’t jump to drastic measures just to bring some colour back to your complexion. Simply just add a bronzer to your makeup routine and you will see some beautiful results instantly.
