Susan Posnick COLORFLO
Mineral Bronzer with Brush
Bronzer is a wonderful makeup tool to add warmth to your skin, contour your face to accentuate your fabulous features, or add a sun-kissed glow without the sun.
Wondering how to pick the correct shade for your skin tone, or perhaps how to add a natural looking glow or contour to your face? Here are the best tips:
Contour Colour vs. Bronzer Shade
Most bronzer shades are somewhat universal in colour, so Susan Posnick Cosmetics only makes one bronzer shade. The bronzer also has just a hint of shimmer added to provide a very subtle glow, which disappears when using it to contour. Then you simply apply your foundation colour over the top. The warmer colors of the Susan Posnick COLORFLO self-dispensing brush work wonderfully as contour colours. Starting with the M8 for fair skin and then going up in colour for darker, skin tones there are shades for everyone. If you prefer a creme contour, then Susan Posnick’s COLORCORRECT #4 is ideal.
If you want subtle contour, shaping and warmth, then work with a bronzer as your contour. Remember, your bronzer shade should always be used to compliment your skin tone and add a natural warmth to your skin. An easy way to achieve this is to apply a dusting of bronzer to your entire face over your foundation.
How to Use Your Bronzer
Contouring
Bronzer can be used as a contour for your face to accentuate or minimize your face shape, features, and bone structure. For example, you can contour your nose to make it appear smaller or your cheekbones to make them more defined.
If you are looking for a simple and easy way to contour your face, a great tip is to shape your face with the ‘number 3 technique’. Imagine a number 3 starting on the temples of your forehead, continuing down just under your cheekbones, and then the bottom of the 3 comes down to the jawline. You can apply bronzer or a contour colour to these three areas of the face to quickly and easily give your face warmth and definition.
Another easy technique is to apply your bronzer to the base of the cheek bone, beginning close to the lower part of the ear, down the sides of the nose, across the chin, and the crown of the forehead. These are naturally shadowed areas of the face, so adding your bronzer to these areas will give you natural definition to really make your features pop. Always remember the key to natural-looking bronzing and contouring is blend, blend, blend, and the Susan Posnick Blending Brush makes it quick and easy to do.
Used a contour shade that is a little too dark? Or applied a little too much? That’s an easy fix with Susan Posnick’s COLORFLO foundation. You can brush your COLORFLO foundation shade right over the contour/bronzer shade to blend it out so it looks natural.
Warming the Skin
Bronzer can be used to warm the skin. A special tip for people with fair skin is to apply a dusting of bronzer to your entire face before you apply on your foundation. This technique will bring warmth to your skin and look natural under your foundation.
You can also apply a dusting of bronzer over your foundation to warm your skin tone. Bronzer can also be used on the eyelids to add warmth and shape to the eyes as a simple eye make-up look.
A Sun-Kissed Glow
To give your face a sun-kissed glow, simply brush your bronzer across the cheekbones and nose. This will give you that fresh-from-the-beach glow in just seconds.
