Bronzing powders are perfect for adding warmth and life to your face. Find options for all skin types, with matte or luminous finishes, ideal for a natural, radiant look. Whether to sculpt, colour or enhance your tan, they're the finishing touch to complete your make-up.
Types of Finish: Bronzing powders come in matte, satin and shimmer finishes. Matte powders are ideal for a natural look and for oily skin, as they control shine. Satins offer a subtle hint of luminosity, perfect for normal or dry skin, while bronzers with shimmer add an extra glow, great for special occasions or evening looks.
Shade Selection: If you have fair skin, opt for soft shades with warm undertones; for medium skin, choose golden tones; and if your skin is darker, deep bronze tones will enhance your colour dramatically.
Durability and staying power: To make your bronzer last all day, apply a face primer first and seal in your make-up with a setting spray.
Combine with foundations and primers: Bronzing powders complement any foundation. With liquid or cream foundations, apply after sealing with translucent powders; with powder foundations, they blend easily. Use a skin-smoothing primer for an even finish.
Use with Illuminators and Blushers: Apply bronzer to define cheekbones and temples, add blusher to cheeks for freshness and highlighter on high points for a natural, three-dimensional effect.
Apply with Proper Tools: Use a soft brush for broad areas and an angled brush for precision for a warm, balanced look!
