Bronzer is a makeup must-have to add a natural looking glow to your complexion, sculpt your cheekbones and add definition to your faee. But unlike beauty staples like mascara and lipstick, it’s not as easy to pick up bronzer at your local beauty store without doing some research beforehand. To help aid in your bronzer search, we reached out to Jo Levy, Director of Artistry & Education at Rouge Bunny Rouge, for her best tips for your skin tone and skin type.The most important tip that Levy offered us was to choose a bronzer that is no more than two or three shades deeper than your usual foundation shade to achieve the most natural looking appearance. “Regardless of your skin tone, bronzers with neutral or slightly golden undertones that are not too warm (orange) tend to look best on most skin tones,” explains Levy.Ahead, discover a more comprehensive, personalized guide to make your bronzer search a whole lot easier — product picks included.For your skin tone...Fair Skin: Choose a bronzer with neutral or slightly pink undertones that is no more than two shades deeper than your usual foundation.
