Bronzers
Bronzers for natural contours and skin brightening
A face bronzer is the unsung hero of every makeup bag. In just a few moments, it gives your skin a radiant appearance, highlights your facial contours, and conjures up a slightly tanned look, even when the sun isn't shining. Whether you prefer a cream or stick bronzer, we'll guide you on how to choose the right one for you.
Why use a bronzer?
- Gives the skin a natural tanned appearance.
- Helps highlight your best features and correct imperfections on your face.
- Revitalises tired skin and gives it a healthier appearance.
How do you choose a bronzer – which one is right for you?
Are you looking for the best bronzer from a drugstore or are you tempted by luxury makeup? Whatever your budget, the right bronzer is always one to two shades darker than your skin tone.
- The ideal bronzer for fair skin can be found in shades of old rose, apricot, or light brown.
- A suitable bronzer for dark skin has golden and richer shades of brown and bronze.
- The best bronzer for mature skin has warm, natural shades that bring the skin to life.
- If you love a subtle glow, illuminating bronzers will highlight your cheekbones and give your skin an instant freshness.
A liquid, cream, or powder bronzer?
- A liquid bronzer (bronzer drops) is easy to apply and blends perfectly with makeup.
- A cream bronzer is ideal for dry skin. It is easy to apply with your fingers and instantly gives your skin a healthy glow.
- A solid bronzer (bronzing powder) gives the skin a perfectly smooth appearance with a matte finish that highlights the contours of the face. Powder bronzer or bronzing pearls are ideal for normal and oily skin.
- A good stick bronzer is easy to apply even without a brush. This mini bronzer is a practical helper in your handbag and when travelling.
Tip: A bronzer palette allows you to combine shades depending on your mood, skin tone, and season.
How to use a bronzer?
If you already have foundation and blusher on your skin, it's time for some bronzer. How do you apply it?
- Face contouring: Bronzer is usually applied under the cheekbones, upper forehead, sides of the nose, and jawline—basically anywhere the sun naturally hits. By contouring your face, you can also make your face look slimmer or shape your nose. Start with a small amount of product and layer it as needed.
- Sun-kissed skin: For a tanned look, apply a thin layer of bronzer to your face like powder. Dust not only your face, but also your neck and ears for a natural and even look. Another option is to add a few drops of bronzer drops to your favourite day cream.
- To unify your look, you can also use bronzer on your eyelids as a multi-purpose
Tip: A powder bronzer can easily be applied with a special bronzer brush, while a makeup sponge is suitable for liquid bronzer.
