Sun Kissed Style: Bronzer- Here's how to use bronzer for an instant glow

Choosing your bronzer:

For a natural tanned effect, I would recommend choosing a bronzer without added shine or any glitter. There is a huge range of shades out there so it is important that you experiment with testers until you eventually find the right one to suit your skin tone.

Which shade is the best one for me?

You need to choose a colour that's only a couple of shades deeper than your skin tone. If you have fair skin - pale and prone to sunburn - peachy or pinky bronzers work the best for you. I recommend copper for anyone with olive skin, while the rich bronze shades are perfect for darker skin tones. Definitely avoid the orange tones.

Should you consider your skin types?

When choosing your skin type you should consider what your skin type is. If it is combination, oily or normal then I suggest you go for a powder-based bronzer. Cream or gel-based products are great for drier skin types.

How should I apply bronzer?

Powder bronzers: Use a fluffy powder brush. Begin by dipping the brush into the bronzer and then tapping off the excess product onto the back of your hand. Dust the powder over the areas where you catch the sun - cheeks, forehead, chin and the bridge of your nose. Make sure you blend it in well. Build the colour up a little at a time.

Cream powder: I would recommend using your fingers to blend in creams. Dot it onto your cheeks and blend in using circular motions. Work the colour up towards your hairline Very lightly, dab any excess colour from your fingers onto the bridge of your nose, forehead and brow bones to warm the tone of your face.
