Bronzer

How Do I use a Bronzer? Top Tips on how to apply Bronzer by Maxime Poulin, Guerlain International Makeup Artist

June 19, 2012 Paris B 58 Comments

Its June and June usually translates into Summer. Hot sun, tans…. but I hear the ladies in the Northern Hemisphere aren’t quite enjoying as hot a summer as they’d like this year. Wish I could trade you some sun for some cooling rain! Down in the Southern Hemisphere, its turning cold as winter sets in.

I’ve learnt that there is one makeup item that pops up at about this time that can transcend the seasons – bronzer. It brings glow to a tan in Summer and brings life to dull pasty skin in Winter. I am personally only just starting to get the hang of bronzers. For the most part, I’m still not quite into them, simply because the brown shades show up quite stark against my skin. But I’m learning to look at bronzers which are lighter and sheerer in colour and texture and when I do find them, comes the next question: How do I use a bronzer?

bronzer tips

The most important thing however, is knowing how to apply a bronzer. Sure, we’ve all heard of tips like “Drawing a big 3 on your face”, “Shading under your cheekbones”, “Use it to contour”, “Apply it where the sun hits” but seriously ladies, I don’t know about you, but these tell me nothing. I can’t apply it where the sun hits because on this pancake face, it hits everywhere 😛 Plus since I don’t tan, and don’t go out in the sun a lot, I’m not quite sure where the sun hits.

However, during a short chat with Mr. Maxime Poulin, International Makeup Artist from Guerlain, I’ve picked up some tips that I found much more helpful than anything I’d ever read. I hope you will too.

Sculpt and Highlight: The Burberry Sheer Summer Glow Natural Highlighting Compact is nice for fair-skinned gals

June 13, 2012 Paris B 54 Comments

2012 will be marked down in my diary as the Year of the Bronzer! I bought my first bronzer last year and am still getting to grips with it. I experimented with the Dior Aurora Healthy Glow Tan powder this year, which I quite liked maybe because it had pink tones so I could use it as a blush, but I still had to be quite careful with it.

The latest one I’ve experimented with is the Burberry Sheer Summer Glow Natural Highlighting Compact. Burberry Beauty releases new products every season, usually in small batches of a new colour or a new product, but they always make them permanent. The Sheer Summer Glow compact powder is the only exception. This beauty is limited edition so you know what to do 😛

The Sheer Summer Glow is a palette of 4 coloured powders that can serve as bronzer and highlight and the texture is supposed to be fine enough to be used also as finishing powder. So you can just dust a thin layer all over for colour and to set makeup. It does look very pretty but I was curious to see if it might be too dark or brown for me as many bronzers are.

Pale princess seeks a touch of sun with the Diorskin Nude Tan Aurora powder

June 4, 2012 Paris B 35 Comments

Confession time. I’m not a fan of bronzer or bronzing or looking tanned. I embrace the pale princess look which might stem from the fact that its my natural colouring and I was born with it so its the only colouring I’ve ever known 🙂 I don’t keep a tan easily either. During school days, not being much of an athlete, for Sports Day, I was always in the march past where we’d train under the the noonday sun. Mom always made me slather on sunscreen so the smell of Coppertone always makes me think of school. (And people wonder why I dislike using Coppertone!)

At the end of Sports Day, everyone would be sunburnt. I’d be lightly toasted and within 2 weeks I’d go back to normal. I think everyone hated me for that 😛 Which long winded story explains why I don’t quite do bronzers as a makeup thing, and brings me to the Diorskin Nude Tan Healthy Glow Skin Enhancing powder aka bronzer by Dior for Summer 2012. There are 4 shades available : 001 Aurora, 002 Sunlight, 003 Zenith and 004 Sunset for most skintones. Being placed at the lighter end of the spectrum today I’ll show you 001 Aurora which is only the 2nd bronzer I’ve ever owned!
