How To Use A Bronzer Brush

Hi. My name's, Sarah Alam. I'm a professional make-up artist.

I've worked in TV, theatre, and commercials for the past 13 years. And today I'm going to show you some tips and tricks on how to produce professional looking make-up. Okay.

So, I'm going to show you how to use a bronzer brush. There's 2 types of bronze brush. One is a bigger, fatter brush and one is more for the face.

So, this one would be used for the body. And this would be used down the legs into the shoulders and this one you'd use for the face. It's smaller and it's easier to sculpt with.

So, you need to choose your bronzer according obviously to your models or your face colour, your skin colour. You don't want to go to many shades darker if you want it to look natural. Also, you can choose a matte effect which is what I've chosen here.

Or, you can choose a more sparkley, golden effect if you're trying to achieve a kind of clubbing look, but I've chosen this matte product to use on Kelly's face. It's not to fat away from her skin colour. So, it's just going to look like she's been on holiday.

And this one is a matte powder. And then you need to tap off the excess. This is so you don't get to much product in one place.

Gently you're going to put it across the head all the places that the sun would actually hit your skin. So, if you think about when you've been on holiday. So, down the front of the nose, over the top of the forehead, around the cheeks, and on the top of the chin.

Best to start with a small amount of product and build up. If you put to much on in one go you've got to take all your foundation and primer off and start again. So, you can see I'm just building up the bronze colour.

And then with your larger brush. Again, top off the excess you can go across the collar bone down to the arms. Okay.

So, that's how you use bronzer make-up.
