Natural natural beauty is the main trend in recent years. Creating a flawless complexion is the primary goal of Nude makeup. Bronzer will help with this, which will give the skin a tanned tint, smooth out imperfections and even out the tone. Depending on the effect to be obtained, bronzing powder can be roughly divided into sculptors and bronzers.

Sculptors are needed to mask imperfections: darken some areas, hide wide cheekbones, visually reduce the forehead, slightly correct the shape of the nose. These products are selected according to the principle of matching with the face tone, but a couple of shades darker. The sculptor is, in fact, a kind of corrector for the shape of the face. As a rule, the texture of the product is matte and does not have a red tint, so it can be used for all skin types.

Bronzers, on the other hand, are used to highlight the tan on an already tanned face. With the help of a properly selected bronzer, you can brighten the complexion, even out the tone and create the effect of a bright tan, which is very important in the summer. Typically, bronzing powders are applied to prominent areas – cheekbones, nose, chin, forehead and neck. But it is important that bronzers are not sculptors, as they often contain shimmer.

Choosing a bronzer for the face

1. Color of the skin. When choosing a bronzer, you must focus on your own complexion. The darker it is, the darker the bronzer can be and vice versa. In this case, it is advisable to select a color several shades darker than the natural skin color.
2. Scope of application. First of all, it is worth deciding what purpose the bronzer will be used for – to hide some imperfections, to give the face a more interesting relief, or to emphasize a natural tan.
3. Skin type. For dehydrated, dry skin, a bronzer with a creamy texture and moisturizing effect is more suitable. Oily skin will need a product with a pronounced matting effect.
4. Release form. Matte tones are ideal for everyday make-up, pearlescent with glitter for evening.
