Bronzer should be applied where the sun naturally hits your face to create a warm, sun-kissed glow. Key areas to apply bronzer include:
- The top of the forehead along the hairline
- The temples
- The cheekbones, sweeping from the apples of the cheeks toward the ears
- The bridge of the nose
- The jawline, blending down toward the neck
- A light dusting on the chin and neck to blend seamlessly with the face
For different face shapes, bronzer placement can be slightly adjusted:
- Oval face: Apply along the hairline and cheeks, with a dab on the nose
- Round face: Focus on the middle of the cheeks extending toward the ears and temples to add length
- Heart-shaped face: Apply along the hairline and forehead, and a bit on the chin for balance
Using the "3" or "E" shape method-applying bronzer around the temples, under the cheekbones, and along the jawline-helps achieve a natural contour and warmth. For a more natural look, choose a bronzer shade 2-4 shades darker than your skin tone and blend well to avoid harsh lines. You can also add a touch of bronzer on the eyelids for a subtle warmth effect
