Powder Bronzer
A powder bronzer, also known as bronzing powder, is the classic bronzer. You apply it with a brush and build up the colour gradually, so you decide how tanned you look. Because powder absorbs excess oil, it's great for normal to oily skin and stays put beautifully over your foundation and setting powder.
Powder bronzer: build your sun-kissed look layer by layer
How do you apply powder bronzer?
Tap off your brush so there isn't too much powder on it. Then sweep the bronzer lightly over the areas where the sun naturally hits your face: your forehead, cheekbones, the bridge of your nose and your jawline. Work from the outside in, so most of the colour sits around the edges of your face and the centre stays fresh. A soft, rounded brush from bronzer and contour brushes makes blending a lot easier.
Matte, natural or shimmer?
Most powder bronzers in this collection are matte or have a natural finish. A matte bronzing powder also works as a soft shadow. For really defined lines, take a look at contouring. Love a summery glow? Choose a bronzer with shimmer or sheen. There are also powders with a blurring finish that soften the look of imperfections.
