Bronzer should be applied to the areas of your face where the sun naturally hits to create a natural, sun-kissed glow. Key spots to put bronzer include:
- Cheekbones: Sweep bronzer on the lower cheekbones to sculpt and add warmth without going too close to the lips or nose
- Forehead and Hairline: Apply bronzer along the top of the forehead near the hairline and temples to create dimension and the appearance of a smaller forehead
- Jawline and Chin: Lightly bronzing the jawline and under the chin can add definition and a subtle contour effect
- Nose: A small amount on the bridge or sides of the nose can add warmth and definition but avoid over-applying to keep it natural
- Neck: Applying bronzer on the neck helps blend the face and neck tones for a seamless look
A popular technique is to visualize the shape of the number "3" on each side of your face, starting at the forehead near the hairline, sweeping down to the cheekbones, and then along the jawline
. Use a light hand and blend well to avoid harsh lines, and choose the bronzer formula (powder, cream, or gel) that suits your skin type and desired finish
. In summary, bronzer goes on the high points and edges of the face where sunlight naturally hits: forehead near hairline, temples, cheekbones, jawline, chin, nose, and neck for a natural sun-kissed effect
