How To Fake A Bronze Glow With Makeup. Now that summer is here we all want to look like we have the perfect bronzed glow and while you can get this look from the sun, It's never a good idea since skin cancer is on the rise. Luckily you can always fake the look with makeup which can be any girl's best friend. Just follow these tips from Jillian Veran, Prescriptives‘ Director of Artistry to learn how.
- Never apply a powder or cream bronzer to an un-prepped skin. Bronzer is rich in color and will grab onto dry or un-exfoliated skin creating a choppy and dirty look to the skin.
- Powder bronzer will adhere smoother to a skin that has a slight base, if you want to go sans foundation, wait for your moisturizer to dry, very lightly dust a sheer translucent powder over entire face using an oversized powder brush. Follow with powder bronzer, using a bronzer brush over entire face
- If you wear a liquid foundation in the summer, mix a drop of liquid or cream bronzer with it to create a sheer glow on the skin with out being too dark.
- Bronzer should always look like its coming from your own skin not a bottle. Go for a bronzer with a satin or matte finish during the day, keeping luminosity very sheer. However using a bronzer with shimmer at night will add depth and glow to the skin - try Prescriptives Mineral Bronzer (available in Warm or Cool.)
- If your skin is tan naturally, avoid a flat look by adding a liquid or powder low level shimmer in gold for warm and rose for cool, this will brighten the skin and enhance your natural tan.
