So there are a couple of different ways to use bronzer, and here are some tips on how to use it properly.
When it comes to bronzers you can either choose matte or something with a little bit of shimmer. I actually have both. Today, I am going to show you first how to use the shimmer with a stippling brush in a more natural way. The stippling brush basically just dissipates the amount of color you are applying because it starts thick and then thins out at the top. I am going to start by applying where sun would naturally hit the forehead, right up top here. This one has a really nice golden undertone. It's going to give her a nice sun kiss look but not be too heavy. When I am doing this look it's definitely going to be not so much for contouring, just more for giving yourself a little bit of glow if you feel too pale or you just want a little more color.
I am going to do the tops of the cheekbone here. You don't want to go too far into this area. I'd say stop about here. Another rule of thumb is like two fingertips away. I'm doing the top of the cheekbone, because once again like I said, at the top of the forehead sun comes down and hits here. It also comes down and hits this part of the face here. Also, for this kind of look bronze the top of the nose. I'm also going to bring it down. I just like to do a little sweeping right on the chin because when you are bronzing you don't want your face to look different than your neck. I kind of blend it downwards like this. This is really simple. Just a little bit of color. You really don't want to use bronzer all over the entire face. It gets pretty monotonous and kind of dull. Using it in these couple of directional areas, I like to think of making a 3 on the face or an E, just kind of like this. That's just a real simple tool, just a little tap on top of the nose.
The next trick is going to be a little more for contouring. I am using a matte bronzer and a brush that is tapered. It goes a little bit thinner so I can get that nice contoured look here. I am going to start at the cheekbone. Mattie if you could just go, perfect. If it's hard for you to tell where underneath the cheekbone is, you just do this ugly little fishy face. Not that Mattie could ever look ugly. Here we go. You can relax. Thank you. Just kind of to get that first little tip. It might look intense at first because I'm using such a pointed brush and bronzer that is a little more concentrated in color but we are going to blend it, so no worries. It really makes the bronzer look more believable when you apply blush and highlighter. But, right now we are just focusing on the bronzer. Once again, you want to follow the two fingertip rule away from the outside of the moth. You don't want the bronzer coming too far in. With this type of bronzer you definitely want to make sure you are blending.
The next tip I have is we are going to go to the temple right about here. I'm going to add a little bit of bronzer. This just kind of slims the face inwards. It creates a nice contrast, too, of the cheekbone between the lower contour and we would put highlight here and a little bit of contour again right here. Kind of brings it in this way. We are going to continue to sweep this up to the top of the forehead. Another cool tip for a little more of a contour type of bronze would be to keep kind of like we did on the other side but bring it down and do it even more dramatic here, on more of a contour type bronze. Instead of doing the bronzer on the top of the nose you would take it and do it on the side. I blend it downwards. This is a tricky spot. You really don't want to do too much here. All right, and that is how to bronze properly.

glad I wasn't the only one who thought this was annoying... When you're doing a tutorial you have to make sure the viewer is able to see what you're doing, but in this video I was more distracted by the make-up artist pushing the model's hair back than to actually pay attention to what she's doing.

Sorcha Mac Donough ikr!

[@rosalindlovelace9163]

Meklaudd what does that have to do with anything??? lol.

[@Animaniafreak]

Thanks for the detailed tutorial! I think because of the lighting and the use of more natural shade bronzer, the colour ddidn't really show on the video. However when I applied the technique on myself, definitely can tell the difference! I'd use the first technique with lighter/golden/high shimmer brozer, it really adds a heathly glow! And use a matte/darker bronzer with 2nd technique, as it's more for contouring.

[@ET3468]

first off. why is she using a bronzer to contour? u can get away with a matt bronzer but dont use the shimmering ones and i dont see any differece the contour....

[@pnutt4525]

know this is like an entire year late lmao but bronzer is warm toned to bring out shape and colour. Contour is generally cooler toned to emulate a shadow.

[@winglessfairy564]

That girl’s skin is perfect 🙀

[@tonymullenix9281]

Being a makeup artist it drives me nuts to see hair in the models face when one is trying to do makeup! Put her hair back for --cks sake!!!! Also, contour is a shadow. Please do not use bronzers as a contour! It can work if blended properly but rarely looks right and is rarely blended properly!

[@Tatjanak1989]

Tony Mullenix interesting. Just wondering: how is bronzing powder different to contouring powder? Just in darkness? In it’s lasting abilities? In shine? I thought both bronzer and contouring stuff were just dark powders/cremes/whatevers?

[@reeses.6653]

Tatjanak1989 I'm pretty sure bronzers are warm toned as contour shades should be more neutral?

[@Tatjanak1989]

thanks. good to know

[@womanoflove4476]

Makeup is suppose to be fun and experimenting with colours. You can use whatever. Lipstick as blush, blush as eyeshadow, bronzer to contour etc as long as it looks great. These makeup companies come up with different things to get our money.

[@initialsbb3381]

Tony Mullenix oh kiddo, this is old school. Back 10 years ago we didn’t had contour kits and similar, only way to enhance the cheekbones was bronzer.

Exactly! What’s the point if you cannot see a difference. Waste of time!

[@laciena]

That’s the point. These influencers have you thinking heavy contouring and bronzing is normal

[@SourEggz]

I don't think cool toned contouring kits were as readily available in 2013 as they are now... in fact, I don't think there was many contouring kits out there AT ALL! Especially for different skin tones... I am sure as a makeup artist, she had access to these types of tones but as the video describes it is specific to bronzer's various uses - something most people would have had more access to.

How much darker should your bronzer be compared to your skin tone?

[@McKennaBessette]

[@nidisyed804]

what's the difference between contouring and bronzer?

[@valeriea3759]

nidi syed contouring is a cool tone shade to make an illusion of a shadow, while bronzer is to bronze up the face and make it look more sun kissed and warm.

[@parojamal539]

Very nice thanx

[@elliecat6006]

Thank u this gave me a lot of information

[@Princess-RiDz]

Bronzer or countoring which is best for oily skin & double chin face? Please tell me

[@galacticgalaxyasmr5665]

Definitely Contour. Bronzer is mainly for adding sunglow. Contour is great for and adding shadow and face shaping illusions. Defiantly also use a matte pressed or loose powder on top of that. It will combat the shiny oily skin look. Hope this helps!

[@TheSunlitLeaf]

This was helpful to me. Thanks!

[@deathpearl360]

can someone explain? I am not understanding this becuz I am hearing too many sources. so do we use a matte bronzer for contouring or shimmer bronzer more like color highlighter?? i am not understanding anything at all....

[@maraciobanu5548]

use a shimmer bronzer to add a little bit of glow and bronze. use matte bronzer to just bronze (add a bit of warmth with no glow). don't use bronzer to contour because it's too warm and looks dirty :)

[@maraciobanu5548]

and you should apply bronzer ON the cheekbones (kinda like a blush but not on the apples of the cheeks, more on the sides) not UNDER, where you would contour :)

[@SaumyaSharma123]

+mara ciobanu what's the difference between blush nd the bronzer..?? ma'am.. cn u please tell me!! 😞

[@KeepDancingForEver]

+saumya sharma A bronzer is supposed to give you that "sun kissed" vibe where a blush is going to give you a more rose or peachy cheek (depending on what kind of blush you choose)...
