Bronzer is one of the trickiest makeup products to apply. When done right, you can look like a sun-kissed goddess; when done wrong, you can look
patchy,
dirty or worse...orange. However you can make applying bronzer easier (and safer!) with a little
loose powder. Before you apply your bronzer, mix it with a tiny bit of loose powder. This will make the bronzer easier to buff and blend and it will also diffuse the colour, enabling you to gradually build colour without going overboard.
My go-to bronzer is the
Benefit Hoola, however lately I've been loving
Elizabeth Arden's Pure Finish Summer Escape Bronzing Powder (£28.00
Debenhams / $40.00
Macy's) in Warm Glow. This
baked mineral bronzer gives a natural sun-kissed glow and provides an even and blendable application. It also contains
shimmer particles and has a pearlescent finish that together, give you a lovely, bright glow.
