Your face will have even more definition by adding in some warmth and a little bit of sheer coverage using the bronzer. This adds a pretty, warm glow to your cheeks. Start by applying it onto the apples of your cheeks, directly above your contour. ![]() Swirl the fluffy end of the Blush and Bronzer Brush around the Bella Bronzer and apply it to your face using soft, circular motions along the high parts of your face. My favorite brush is the Blush and Bronzer brush. When it comes to using bronzer, it should be applied with a fluffy brush that has more wispy bristles. Seint’s Bella Bronzer is the perfect shade and will give you a gorgeous sun-kissed glow, no matter your skin tone. This is especially helpful during the winter months when our skin is missing out on some much-needed sun! Look for a product that is just a little warmer than your skin tone you don’t want to choose something that ends up looking orange on your skin. Why should you apply Bronzer?īronzer is helpful in giving your skin a naturally warm and sun-kissed glow. I have a great tutorial on Instagram under the highlight called ‘Contour’. Contouring will sculpt your cheekbones, narrow your nose, define your jaw, and make the forehead appear smaller. You can also add some down the sides of your nose. The areas you want to focus on are along the hairline of the forehead, in the hollows of your cheekbones, and along the jawline. It can be placed directly onto the skin and doesn’t need to be layered on top of other makeup. The contour in iiiD foundation is part of the foundation and provides coverage all on its own. Guide to Apply ContourĬontour should be placed where the natural shadows fall on your face to give extra depth and dimension. The ashy tones of contour will mimic the natural shadows of your face, which is exactly what you are trying to do with contour. You want this! You want to avoid anything warm. Contour is ashy in nature with gray/cool undertones. ![]() The purpose of contour is to add back in shadows and definition to your face. To combat that, we use contour to add that dimension back in. The application of foundation tends to remove the appearance of the natural definition of our faces and leaves our faces looking flat. ![]() But foundation is one dimensional and one color. We put on foundation to even out our skin color and hide any blemishes. That will be the biggest visual difference when shopping for bronzer and contour- the undertones are completely opposite! Why should you apply contour? Bronzer will give your face a more sunkissed, warm glow. It should be placed on the highest points of your face where the sun will hit first. Instead, it has a much more sheer application. Bronzer does not contain any coverage at all. In contrast, Bronzer is all about adding warmth to your face. Because it is meant to mimic shadows, the color of contour should be darker than your natural skin tone and should be cool-toned with an ashy undertone. This will accentuate those shadows and add depth and dimension to your face. ![]() You place contour on the areas of your face where natural shadows fall. But don’t worry! With my complete guide to bronzer and contour, you will feel like a pro.Ĭontour is used to mimic the natural shadows of your face. We usually think of makeup as covering our face, and while contour does add coverage (or at least Seint’s does), bronzer is sheerer in nature and is not meant to be used as a way to cover blemishes or other imperfections. Each technique utilizes a different tone of color as well. So today I am going to give you my complete guide to bronzer and contour! What is the Difference?īronzer and contouring are two very different techniques. But after being a Seint artist for several years, I am now well versed in both products, and would even go as far as to call myself an expert in this arena. And as far as bronzer was concerned, I was worried about applying it wrong and looking like Ross from that episode of Friends (where he overdoes it in the tanning bed!). I didn’t know the first thing about either one! Contouring always seemed like a 4-letter word to me and something that was reserved for people like the Kardashians. Before becoming a Seint artist, I would steer clear of any product that was used for contouring or bronzing my face.
