'Bronzer is all about making the skin look healthier.' Which means you're not trying to give your face a fake tan-you're just trying to warm it up.
'You’re looking to add warmth with bronzer, not color,' Vanngo says.
So we turned to celeb makeup artist Hung Vanngo to break down exactly how to apply bronzer, even for beginners.īut let's real quick go over the real purpose of bronzer first. But with all these new products, figuring out how to use bronzer is as challenging as ever. While we used to be limited to the single bronzer shade of burnt Cheeto, we now have zillions of options in colors, textures, and finishes. I'm proud to say I've come a long way since then, thanks not only to my improved makeup skills, but also to the improved bronzer formulas. If you asked me in 2006 what the purpose of bronzer was, I would say to cover your entire face in orange glitter to look super, super ~hot~.
