Where do you apply bronzer?

When you apply bronzer, aim to mimic where the sun naturally hits your face. Focus on the high points: the forehead, cheekbones, and the bridge of your nose. A handy little technique is the 3-shape method – sweep your bronzer from your forehead down across your cheekbones, and along your jawline, creating the shape of the number 3. Use a fluffy blush for a seamless blend and natural finish, if that’s what you like.

What is the difference between powder bronzer, liquid bronzer and creme bronzer?

The main difference between the different formulas is that powder bronzers often provide a more matte, velvety finish while liquid and cream bronzers give a dewier, skin-like glow. Choosing between them depends on your skin type and what finish you prefer.

Powder bronzers are often ideal for oily skin, as it helps absorb excess oil and provides a more matte finish. It’s also easy to build if you want a little extra.

Cream and liquid bronzers, on the other hand, give a more hydrated, glowy finish, perfect for dry or normal skin types. They blend smoothly into the skin, creating a more light and natural effect – great for achieving a no make-up-make-up look.

At Lindex, you’ll find powder, liquid, and creme bronzers. Choose between brands such as IsaDora, Lumene, Artdeco, L’Oréal, Maybelline, Max Factor and our own Lindex beauty.

What colour bronzer should I choose?

A good general rule to follow is to choose a bronzer that is one to two shades darker than your natural skin tone. Consider whether your skin undertone is warm, cool or neutral and go from there. Undertones don’t change with tanning or season and influence how colours look on you. Here are some things to think about when figuring out what undertone you have and to find a good bronzer for you:

• Warm undertones have a golden, yellow or peachy base. If you have a warm undertone you tend to look more radiant in gold jewellery and earthy shades.
• Cool undertones have hints of pink, red or blue beneath the skin. These complexions often suit silver jewellery and cooler toned shades.
• Neutral undertones are a mix of both warm and cool, meaning you don’t strongly lean either way. You can wear both silver and gold, and most shades – whether warm or cool – tend to suit you.

If you have a warm undertone, you’ll probably like a more golden bronzer. If you have a cooler undertone, opt for a bronzer with neutral or slightly cool tones.

A bronzer and blush duo

To add dimension and a pop of colour to your face, bronzers and blushes are the ultimate duo. They do serve different purposes, though. So, where do you apply bronzer and where do you apply blush? Bronzer is, as mentioned before, usually applied to areas where the sun naturally hits your face. Blush, on the other hand, is usually applied on your cheeks (and maybe a little on your nose?) to add that healthy flush of colour.

A good tip for a natural finish is to blend the two together slightly where they meet to create a seamless look.
