After a conversation with some of my girlfriends I discovered that bronzer was one of the top beauty products they couldn’t live without and observed that some of them weren’t even wearing the right shade for their skin tone.  That being said, I decided to help them out by investigating the techniques on how to choose and apply the magic dust.  Physician’s Formula Celebrity Makeup Artist Joanna Schlip gave me the scoop.

The Top 2 Golden Rules of Being A Golden Goddess:

1. Obviously our skin gets darker in the summer and lighter in the winter, which means you need to change your bronzer with the seasons.  Always use a bronzer that’s two shades darker than your skin tone.

2. Use…a kabuki brush to apply bronzer (this is the one that’s “cut”) – it won’t show any lines of demarcation – and apply to all areas the sun will hit such as your forehead, cheekbones, nose and chin. Don’t forget the small parts.  Your ears and neck should be bronzed too.  Blend well.

Schlip loves Physician’s Formula’s new Shimmer and Pearl Bronzer (great for face) and Bronze Booster Pressed Powder (awesome for face & body). I have one of each to give away!  Here’s how to win:
