Bronzers and Highlighters
How do bronzers and highlighters work? They each serve there own purpose. Bronzers are used to give your skin a sun touched look. You apply bronzer anywhere you want to have the appearance you were kissed by the sun. This includes your forehead, the tip of your nose, and your cheeks. I use my bronzer as a blush because it gives me a sun kissed look along with defining my cheek bones.
Highlighters are used to downplay shadows and darker areas of the face. Areas of your face that appear darker include under your eyes, under your chin and even at the top of your eye lids. Highlighters come in a liquid form and powder form. I prefer the liquid form for under my eyes because I think it provides better coverage. You will have to try them for yourself to see what works best for you.
Highlighters and bronzers are great because you can pretty much apply them anywhere on your face. You can use shiny highlighters and bronzers or matte, which ever you prefer. Usually for older women they prefer matte powders because it helps hide the signs of aging. Shiny powders are usually worn by younger girls going for an extra glow look.
Next time you are experimenting with bronzers and highlighters be sure to keep these application tips in mind.
