One brush that is really important to know how to use properly is the
bronzer brush. So there are a few different kinds that you could use. You
may see something very large like this that's a bronzer brush, or you could
use something very tailored like this, that's very compact and specific.
So, when I'm using a large bronzer brush like this, it's more for kind of
body. I don't like to use it all over the face. I feel like it gets a
little too muddy and you really don't want to look like your face is a
different color from your neck. So with something like this, I'll just do
big sweeping motions maybe to blend color down onto my neck. Maybe I did a
little bit of contouring here and I just want to blend that out, just
pretty simple.
This is really beautiful to use bronzer right on the chest. Especially
during summertime, it's nice to have a little bit of glow right on the
collar bone. It looks really beautiful. Another thing that you can do with
the other brush, this is a fan brush. So fans can either be used for
general kind of bronzing if you want to do something very light. It's nice
and kind of loose and airy here, so it's not going to make too compact of a
color distribution.
So what I like to do with this is actually contouring with bronzer. So I'm
going to take a little bit, I've loaded the brush, and then I kind of place
it right on the hairline. I'm just doing little sweeping, back and forth
motions. The reason I'm putting bronzer up here is because this is where
bronzer naturally hits the forehead, the high points of the face.
So I did a little bit, as you see, back and forth like this, and now I'm
blending it downwards just so it's very seamless. Then I kind of take it
down. When you're bronzing you want to think of making the number three. So
it's kind of like this type of motion. So I bring it down. I do a little
bit on the temple, and then I also kind of do this little area right here.
A way to know exactly where to put it at the bottom of the cheekbone is
just to go like that, and you'll instantly know where to put it. Then I
sweep it down. Bronzing right here kind of gives your jawbone a little bit
of a pop. So I do a little bit like this and you can kind of stick your
neck out to see where to put it and then I just mirror the same thing on
the other side.
The thing that's nice about this brush is that it really does a lot of the
work for you. Having the right brushes is super important to making your
makeup look very flawless. It just makes everything easier on you and you
just get a better end result.
As you can see, once I do this contour here, I blend downwards as well,
just kind of fading that bronze off. Taking it under the chin again. I love
this tip because my jawbone kind of fades a little bit into my neck, so
it's nice to get a little bit of a pop like this. As you can see, when I
place it here, I have the brush in the direction that it's going. Not like
this because that's going to give us too wide of a bronze. So place it flat
and then blend downwards and that's how you use a bronzer brush.
