The Golden Hour

There are bronzer basics you read about all the time.  There are powders and creams.  Here are inside tricks for truly applying it like a pro.
Combat Oil.  If you don't wear foundation, start by dusting translucent powder all over your face and your bronzer will go on more smoother.
Rethink the way you use it.  Pick up a bronzer that's just slightly darker than your skin tone.
Downsize your brush.  Most people sweep bronzer on with a big, fluffy brush.  The pros make tight circles with a medium size powder brush.
Top it off with champagne shimmer.  Use a creamy gold flecked highlighter over your cheekbones and blend.
