Bronzer- where do you put it?

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I was tidying up my make-up and found a bronzer (I think Rimmel) that I'd bought for DD --and she regifted to me after she got Hoola .
So, like you do, I got my brush out and had a faff about.....

Tried the Hoola next (on clean face) it's darker so makes me look grubby not goddess-ey.

DD told me to put it under my cheekbones but that's contouring isn't it?

I put it where the sun would catch so foehead, nose, top of cheekbones ...but I just look manky

I'm pale skinned with freckles and dyed coppery hair (Real Life mid brown) brown/haze eyes (Celtic complexion )

Any tips to apply? Or is it just the shock of having a bit of colour?

forehead not foehead

I want to know too! I'm pale and freckly and have always thought "maybe I should use bronzer". But I'm scared of looking orange or something.

Bronzer goes on as a letter 'E' or a '3' depending on side. So across forehead, across cheekbones and jawline.

I would find a huge fluffy brush and dip in bronzer. Tap off excess on side of lid. You need very little on the brush. Start at top centre of forehead and sweep down side of face. Aim for a large '3' shape which goes under cheek bone and then under chin. Repeat inverted 3 shape on other side of face. Apply very little and build up the colour if you need. Use bronzer last after rest of makeup done. Pinkish blusher on cheeks will help if you're pale..If the bronzer looks too 'muddy' its probably too dark for you. That's what I do..appreciate it might not work for everyone.

Sorry- looks like SNAKE beat me to it with the '3' advice..

Across the T zone. Forehead, down the nose to the chin and cheeks.

Dont do the T and the 3 shape together unless you live in essex

Ha!

I LIVE IN ESSEX

If I'd gone out today I'd have blended right in (and you'd all be Well Jell )

Ok, so a 3/E and I'll leave the Hoola to DD and find something lighter (the Rimmel one had a bit of sparkle even though it said it was matte)

Anyone use "Dallas" - it says it's a bronzer/blusher.
I need to go out and test some don't I?

No idea why I did a Father Christmas smiley

Really sorry OP about essex joke hope didnt cause offence. Happy shopping!
