Starting Off: Bronzer

Bronzer is something I don't tend to use. I own one in a Sleek palette - so as you could guess this is going to be a fairly short post. I was considering not doing this post, but I decided to just go ahead with it. I like how bronzer looks on other people, but I can never seem to master it. I end up looking like I've had a fight in some mud, not cool.
Bronzer is basically used to give people that summer sun kissed glowy look all year round. I envy those of you who can pull off bronzer. When I use bronzer I use it purely for contouring my cheeks. I bought the Sleek face form kit purely to try out contouring, and when I do contour I love how it looks. When applying, I start off the application by sucking my cheeks in and making a little fishy face. After I've found the area I'm applying it I stop sucking in my cheeks and blend away. I tend to only bring it down a little, otherwise I look a little silly. I don't usually take it any further down than where the apples of my cheeks is. That is the only place that I apply bronzer but you can if you want apply it on your temples, your hair line and your jaw - essentially any where the sun would naturally hit you.
Remember to go in lightly, and if needed then you can add more. Trying to rectify a heavy hand will be harder than gradually adding more. When applying, I use my Real Techniques contour brush, it just creates such a lovely effect - something I don't think a big fluffy brush could.

Are you a fan of applying bronzer?
