Whether you prefer using powder bronzers, or cream or liquid formulations, there is a certain way to apply each to get a seamless effect. “Use a damp sponge if working with a cream bronzer and buff the bronzer into the forehead, cheeks, jaw and a touch across the nose—all the places the sun naturally hits,” says Genevieve. “Once you have a soft, blended layer of bronzer, you can use a denser brush to go in with a little more pigment and precision to add dimension to the face. A failsafe technique to bronze is to use sheer layers and slowly build,” she says.
If you’re opting for a powder bronzer, a large, fluffy makeup brush is your go-to. “The best way to apply bronzer would be with a large, fluffy brush, says Antonio. “This will help me apply the product evenly and prevent streaks or harsh lines. Start by applying the bronzer to the areas of your face that the sun would naturally hit, such as your forehead, temples, cheekbones.” Remember, the bigger and fluffier the brush, the more diffused your bronzer application will be. “Using a small or dense brush can lead to an over-application of bronzer,” he says.
Regardless of which formulation you’re using blending is key when it comes to bronzer. “Make sure to blend out any harsh lines or edges for a natural-looking finish,” says Antonio. However, if you have gone a bit OTT, don’t worry. “Going in too heavy too quickly can lead to tide marks and patchiness, but this can be easily avoided by using those sheer layers of product and slowly building the colour,” says Genevieve. “Using a brush with your usual setting powder can also soften any edges and help blend further.”
