Golden Rules: Bronzer Do's & Dont's.

/

Bronzers are a definite do during these summer months. Whether you want to fake a glow or enhance one, they come in a variety of formulas and shades. Let me ask you this though. Do you know which formula or shade is right for you? And do you know how to correctly apply a bronzer?

Well, Chad Hayduk, co-founder of Three Custom Color Specialists get asked those questions often. He is here to share with us his Do's and Dont's for creating a warm, sun kissed glow.

DO - Know Your Skin Tone
Wearing the wrong shade of bronzer can look un-natural, un-flattering and sometime orangey. Three Custom Color has two shades of powder bronzer for either warm or cool skin. If you are unsure which one would work best for you, check out their handy warm vs. cool tool to help you select.

DO - Think Application
Of course, bronzers look most natural and best of applied to where the sun would actually bronze you. To apply, use a fluffy powder brush to apply bronzer to your forehead, nose and cheeks. If you want more control in application, try a creme bronzer version. Three Custom Color has a

2 New Beautiful Bronzers from Physicians Formula.

/

When it comes to drugstore brand bronzers, Physicians Formula is always a cut above the rest. I equate their bronzers as if they were from a luxury department store with an affordable price tag. Feast your eyes on these beauties new in the PF bronzer department this year.

To choose from either of these bronzers just think what do you want from a bronzer? A shimmery bronzed look or a beautiful light bronzed glow? Or you can always pick up both to use as your mood warrants!

For the more bold shimmery bronze look, choose Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Pressed Shimmer Bronzer. The formula provides a beautiful smooth bronzed glow with a bit of shimmer. The bronze color is long lasting and naturally beautiful. You can select from your skin tone (Fair to Light, Light to Medium, or Medium to Dark) to get the perfect shade. If you are going for bold, pick a shade darker.  "Formulated with Glow Activators Technology to provide Triple-Action Bronze Boosting that helps enhance and extend the life of your tan glow and improve skin's clarity and radiance."

For a beautiful sheer pearly bronzed glow, select Mineral Glow Pearls in Bronze Pearl. It's beauty in the palette will blow you away, but not as much as when you apply. It can be used alone for the most beautiful sheer bronzed glow or used on top of a deeper bronzer to highlight and make skin look perfect.

Bronze Booster retails for $14.95 while Mineral Glow Pearls sells for $13.95.  Pick up these bronzers at mass retailers now before they sell out for the season. I shop for mine locally at CVS.

I think I use a bronzer almost everyday. When I go for an all out made up look or a natural one (which I do for school), I depend on a bronzer to bring a bit of color and glow to my face.

I am lucky enough to try so many bronzers and my friends are always asking me which ones work best. I figured I would tell them and you at the same time. Out of the ones I have tried, these are my 4 Favorite Bronzers that I keep on my makeup table.

Benefit Cosmetics Dallas - $28.00

This is a pretty golden rose shade of bronzer. I really like this one when I feel tired as it warms up my complexion, giving me a healthy glow. Sometimes I layer this one over one of the more brown based bronzers listed below.

Stila Sun Gel Bronzer - $24.00

This is my favorite gel bronzer that I sometimes use on more than just my cheeks! It is pretty to even dab on my eyes and lips for a really pretty... read the rest in Teen Beauty.
