Bronzer 101

The skin on my face seems to naturally be a few shades lighter than the rest of my body. And I wear sunscreen on my face everyday so it doesn't tan or burn. But saving your face from the sun's harmful rays doesn't mean you have to walk around looking like a ghost for three months. Bronzer is a lifesaver when it comes to brightening your face and looking sunkissed the safe way.

Bronzers comes in several different forms like cream, pressed powder, loose powder. Always make sure you choose a bronzer that is just a few shades darker than your natural skin tone. According to EstéeLauder.com, the trick to making bronzer look natural is to dust a small amount on the areas where you'd be naturally kissed by the sun: cheekbones, nose, brow bones and forehead. Also, to prevent your face from looking dull, swipe a little blush on the apples of your cheeks for an extra glow.
