Applying bronzer is one of the easiest ways to get a sun-kissed tan, and Bobbi Brown bronzer products come in a variety of shades and finishes to suit your skin tone. Ahead, learn how to use Bobbi Brown bronzer effectively to give yourself a healthy glow and highlight your facial features in a flattering way.







Sun-Kissed Glow
If you have medium-toned or darker skin, you can use a bronzer instead of a colored blush to give your cheeks a sun-kissed glow. Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder, $42, comes in golden and rose tints with micropearls to add a bit of shimmer to your face. Lightly sweep a brush with Bobbi Brown bronzer along your cheekbones in place of blush for a natural look. This product is very pigmented, so a little goes a long way toward giving your face a healthy glow and subtle shimmer.



Shimmering Highlights
If you have lighter skin, choose a Bobbi Brown bronzer that is pinker in tone. The Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact, $25, in Bronze includes warm shades of bronze with plenty of shimmer to catch the light. For maximum effect, brush this bronzer onto the tops of your cheekbones where light naturally hits your face, and your features will be brightened and beautiful. You can use just the lighter shades or combine all five in the palette for a multi-dimensional shine. If you use blush, apply the blush first and then brush your highlights on top. You can also add some highlighter to the bridge of your nose and just under your eyebrows to brighten your face.



Contour Shadows
One way to use bronzer is by contouring. Apply a few light brush strokes of Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder, $42, under your cheekbones, under your chin, on either side of the bridge of your nose, on your forehead around your hairline, and other places where your face has natural shadows. Many contouring powders are gray or purple in tone, but using bronzer instead will give your face warmth. This subtle contouring effect is perfect when you want to have a healthy glow that doesn't sparkle with too much product.



All-over Tan
If you want an easy way to give your skin a healthy glow without hitting the tanning bed, use Bobbi Brown All Over Bronzing Gel, $34. This tube of cream includes skin-protecting ingredients with SPF 15, so it acts as a gentle sunscreen when you head outdoors. You don't have to worry about shadows or highlights with this easy product; simply apply a thin layer over your entire face for a subtle shimmer. You can even apply it to your neck and shoulders if you're wearing a strapless top and want the healthy glow to extend below your face.
