My Make-Up Style

It is my opinion, most women have trouble controlling bronzer, they buy it and it just sits and sits in the back of a make-up drawer. After seven years, would you throw it out already? Often they look very orange on the skin; they can make your face not match your neck, need I go on?

Bronzers are used to give you a sun kissed look. They should be used as a highlighter, creating dimension. If you like to use bronzer, follow these simple rules…

Notice her make-up artist did not run this over her nose? Excellent example of how to wear bronzer!

1. Make sure that you have set your foundation with powder first.
   
2. Use your bronzing brush, primed with a foundation setting powder, then tap out the excess.
3. Place your primed brush in the bronzer, tap out the excess (this gives you control)
4. If you have a round or wide face, pull your hair back and spread down the side of the face. For oval face shapes high area of the cheek first then chin, forehead and only run across your nose if you have a long face. You can use a blending brush to smooth any edges or just use a non latex foam brush to remove any lines and soften the application. You want to have a smooth transition of color, just a hint.

If you like to use your bronzer, remember that many of them are shimmery, so just remember “rule # 10 the shimmer rules” and apply sparingly. Stay beautiful. Talk with you tomorrow!

Sorry Catherine, thank you for showing us how to NOT wear a bronzing powder, this make-up artist did her an unbelievable disservice. Catherine Zeta Jones is a stunning beauty!
