Summer is fast approaching but, with the weather still not warm enough to tan and us students being too broke to fake bake each day, our only hope is our old friend...Bronzer!
I want to be sure that all my followers look like bronzed goddesses or gods (if any of you guys are into this sort of thing!). So, I searched far and wide to bring you the Top 3 Best Bronzers for Any Buck!
$$$ MAC Bronzer...$50.00
This bronzer is of course, worth the money. The coverage is amazing the compressed powder is fine and the shades that they come in match any skin tone. But, the bronzer does go quickly! So, if you are making the investment be sure that you are going to be able to buy another quickly.
Can be bought online, or at your local MAC counter.)
$$ BareMinerals Bronzer...$20.00
Of course my personal favorite is the BareMinerals bronzer. The powder is great and lasts all day, the tones are good but some might be too dark on a fairer face. So, add a little at a time...which can also help you conserve the product and make it last longer.
(Can be bought online, or at a BareMinerals store.)
$ Rimmel London Bronzer...$5.00
Lately I have been too broke to order a new BareMinerals bronzer so, I chose my oldie but goodie fall back. The Rimmel bronzer is cheap but the powder is really smooth and it lasts a long time. The tones of the bronzer are not as dark as some might like but, for a fair or slightly tan face it can really enhance your glow. It is a great and cheap product.
(Can be bought at any Drug Store)
$ CoverGirl TruBlend Minerals Bronzer...$5.00
This bronzer is not for your face! It has way too much shimmer and color in it to be anywhere but your neck, arms, or anywhere else that needs a nice glow for the night. This loose powder lasts (I swear!) for a year...if you don't dump half of it onto your floor like me...oops. The shine is a great contouring trick to make your features stand out and enhance your already glowing appearance. Apply with a big brush and again, A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. (we don't need anyone looking like a valley girl!)
(Can be bought at any Drug Store)
With bronzer you want to be sure that you follow a few key tips when applying, so you don't end up looking like you sneezed into the loose powder and decided to leave it on your face!
Here are my "Top Tips"
- DO apply in layers, you want to see how the tone will match with your natural skin color. Adding too much at once can cause uneven application and an unnatural skin color!
- DO use a Bronzer Brush...any one will do. You do not need an expensive brush!
- DO contour your cheeks and anywhere the sun hits your face an neck for a outline of your features that will just make everything POP!
- DON'T use shimmery bronzer for your face. It will make you look oily and the shimmer will clump in creases in your face causing lines.
- DON'T pick a color that is much darker than your natural skin tone. Go up about 1 or 2 shades higher, having a tan face and pale body is a pretty bad give away.
