Best blush, bronzer, & highlight for different skin tones


Hey beauties! Let's talk blush, bronzer, and highlight! There are a few rules to remember when applying these products. Contour/bronzer sits under you cheekbone and highlight just above. You can bronze your forehead as well, just make sure you blend into your hair line. Highlight is also amazing on other parts of the face where sun hits it. You can apply highlight on your brow bone, bridge of the nose, inner corner of eyes, on top of your cupids bow(the indent at the center of your top lip), and the center of your forehead. Blush should be placed on the apples of your cheeks and blended back.

For light skin tones(light peachy & creamy) you should look for a cooler bronzer. Bronzers that are too warm start to look orange and unnatural. Go for a softer blush, not too pink. Brighter blush could add to redness. White highlights with hints of gold are usuaully best for lighter skin tones.

For medium skin tones you may want to stick with peachy or pink blushes. Choose warm, golden bronzers, to go along with a warm highlight. Light golds are amazing for medium skin tones! Stay away from iridescent highlights, they tend to look chalky.

For darker skin tones use a bronzer with limiter shimmer. Use something sheen instead. Stay away from white or yellow gold highlighters. The best to use are deep golds, or highlights with slight red undertones. Brighter blush would be a go to! Bright apricot shades look great on darker skin tones.
