How To: Put on Bronzer

Ever wanted to put on bronzer but just don't know how? Well keep on reading for this quick step by step tutorial along with a video giving you a easy quick way to apply bronzer. But before you begin to use bronzer take the time to find the right bronzer for your skin tone because if not you will end up looking fake and unnatural. For putting bronzer on your face it is best to use a dome shaped brush (Kabuki Brush), a angled blush brush, or even a regular blush brush will work just as well.

Step 1: Before we begin to put on the bronzer you need to prep your face for it. First you will apply sunscreen to your face and anywhere where the sun will hit, let it sit for 5 minutes. Afterwards put on your moisturizer on your face, also let it sit for 5 minutes. If you use primer then you should put that on your face as well.

Step 2: After prepping your face add powder or foundation to your face if you wish to hide any unwanted blemishes. If concealer is part of your makeup routine then add that as well.

Step 3: You are now ready to add your bronzer. You are going to take your brush and swirl it in your bronzer, tap off the excess. Start at mid forehead, down to your temple (side of head) to mid cheek where your cheek bone is (like a C). From mid cheek you will bring it back to where your ear is go down your jaw line all the way to your chin, so it's basically like putting a 3 on your face. Repeat to the other side your face.

Step 4: Once you finish putting the bronzer on your face take a little bit more bronzer and swipe it down your nose and a bit on your chin. Don't forget to add some bronzer on your neck otherwise you will have a different color,and voila! you are finished. If you want to add blush to your face go ahead and do that by smiling in the mirror and apply blush on the apples of your cheeks.

The purpose for bronzer is to give your face a nice healthy glow and to add definition on your face so it wont look flat, not change your entire skin color like the cast of Jersey Shore. That is why we put the bronzer in a number 3 motion because it only adds bronzer on the places where the ligth hits. Now you know how to properly apply bronzer, once you get the hang of it you will end up looking more like Kim Kardashian and nothing like Snooki.

A Quick Make-up Look For Girls On The Go:

Completed Make-up look

For this weeks post I have decided to write an article inspired by my best friend Diana who would like to do her makeup for school everyday but just doesn't have time. So I thought I shared with you my quick go-to makeup routine that I use whenever I'm in a hurry or too lazy to do my whole makeup. This make-up look isn't just for girls who are in a hurry but also for girls who are starting to use makeup and need a good solid start before they begin to experiment with different colors and looks. Lets get started.

Tools:

• Face Powder ( I used Clinique Perfectly Real Compact Makeup in 130 N)
• Blush (I used E.L.F Studio Line Blush in Candid Coral)
• Eyelash Curler (I used my Revlon Eyelash Curler)
• Mascara ( I used my Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara)
• Lipstick/Lip Gloss (I used my E.L.F Essentials Lipstick in Gypsy, and my L.A Colors clear lip-gloss)

      Step 1:
After you have prepped your face (Moisturize and Sunscreen). Dust some of your powder all over your face and neck to hide any blemishes. *Shortcut: Instead of using a powder you can use a tinted moisturizer instead. It will be like hitting two birds with one stone and even better if it has SPF included.*
    
      Step 2:
Following step 1 sweep a blush color in a C-stroke motion. You can achieve this by smiling at yourself in the mirror and start sweeping the blush at the apples of your cheek and sweep them upward toward your temples. This technique will gives your cheeks a more glowing defined look.
    
      Step 3:
Next you will grab your eyelash curler (If you have one) and curl your eyelashes 3 times. First curl at the root of your lashes, then curl at the middle of your eyelashes, and finally you will curl at the tips of your lashes. After your done curling your eyelashes you will add 2 coats of mascara and one small stroke on your bottom lashes.
    
      Step 4:
Finally finish of your look with any lip wear of your choice. Since the rest of your face is simple don't be afraid to use a bolder lip color to play up your lips.


And there you have it girls, a quick and easy look that anyone can easily emulate. That will make your natural beauty shine that will make you look beautiful no matter how much time you have.
