How To Choose A Bronzer Tone For Your Skin?

You first need to choose the right bronzer that suits your tone. The store can find bronzer in light, medium, and dark shades. Some graduation is possible between them. Among the brands that develop and sell bronzers, you can find those that prefer to sell them specifically for dark skin.

Here are some tips to help you choose the right bronzer tone for your skin:

• If you are the owner of swarthy skin, pay attention to brands that specialize in developing bronzers specifically for swarthy clients;
• Don’t buy a bronzer darker than two tones from your skin when choosing it;
• Remember that for the winter and summer seasons, you will need bronzers of different tones for applying bronzer;
• The bronzer comes in a variety of forms. So, it is better to use a powder-based bronzer for oily and normal skin. To apply powder bronzer, use a wide brush with which you apply powder or blush. If you have dry skin, cream or gel products suit you;
• Bronzers come in completely different shades. Choose the one that suits your face type, hair, and other features. To determine the right shade of bronzer, you need to apply it to your skin and see if it’s too dark or too light for you. Don’t forget to apply the test material on your skin to see if the shade suits you.

I have prepared a small table that will help you choose a bronzer based on the natural color of your skin:

You’re fair and sunburn easily	Peach or pink

How To Choose Bronzer Formula?

You can find bronzer in different forms when visiting a beauty store. There are four forms of bronzer – in the form of powder, cream, gel, or liquid. Each of them is suitable for its skin type. So, for example, experts advise using a cream or gel dispenser to achieve a natural look when you create makeup with bronzer. For a matte finish, you can look into powdered bronzer. 

However, the choice of bronzer is much more than it seems. The main thing that you need to do when choosing a bronzer is to focus on your desires and sensations. To stop your attention on the bronzer suitable for you, I’ve prepared the descriptions of each of them. Read the information about each bronzer and determine which one will suit you more.

1. Powder Bronzers

This option is the most common. It is suitable for any type of skin. Powder bronzer will look especially good on oily or combination skin. Among bronzers in powder form, you can find shimmery and matte options. Therefore, a matte version of the bronzer is suitable for oily skin. The powdered bronzer has the most pigment and works well for those who don’t have much time to go makeup-free.

2. Gel And Cream Bronzers

These forms of bronzer are suitable for those with dry to normal skin. It’s because they do not settle on dry skin scales, which would create a ridiculous look. I advise you to use a makeup sponge with a cream bronzer. It will allow you to apply the product evenly and shade it well.

3. Liquid Bronzer

This option is suitable for those who know they have dry skin. The liquid bronzer is easy to apply with fingers or a foundation brush. Put a liquid bronzer over your foundation for a tanned complexion.
