The Right Way to Apply Bronzer for Your Face Shape
October 19, 2020
Where to Apply Bronzer on Oval Face Shapes
With a light hand, apply your bronzer to the top of the forehead along the hairline, as well as on the cheeks. For a more contoured look, apply it in the hollows of cheeks. You can also lightly dust it along the bridge of the nose.
Where to Apply Bronzer on Heart Face Shapes
Similar to that of an oval face shape, bronzer application should hit the top of the forehead and cheeks. For heart face shapes, however, you’ll want to use more product along the hairline and temple area. Finally, add a touch of bronzer on the bottom of the chin — you want to accentuate your natural angles.
Where to Apply Bronzer on Round Face Shapes
To sculpt a round face, apply the bronzer along the cheekbones in a downward motion toward the jaw so it creates a soft shadow. It might be best to use a powder formula like the NYX Professional Makeup California Beamin' Face & Body Bronzer for this. Blend well for a natural finish.
Where to Apply Bronzer on Square Face Shapes
If you have a square face shape, sweep your bronzer in a curved line along the middle of the forehead and along the middle of the cheeks (right between the hollows and the top of the cheekbones) to help soften the corners of your face.
