Question Liquid Bronzer?




Has anyone tried liquid bronzer? I've only ever used powder bronzer, and something about liquid bronzer just seems wrong to me. Please let me know if you have tried this or other products and liked it.

I haven't tried it.
Interesting!
I think you'd have to really blend it quite well.

You would apply it like you would a shimmer tanning lotion.

I've tried using it with foundation brushes and cream blush brushes, sponges and fingers.

The best method I've found with appying liquid bronzers is with your middle finger tip in a feathery stroking motion, blending your edges towards the outside edge of your face.

Remember to use a small amount of product at a time in your application. Too much product can lead to streakiness because you have to blend the excess product too much.

For larger areas like your whole body, a moistened sea sponge is the best method. I've done professional M/F bodybuilders for competitions and photoshoots, and the results of using this method look awesome.

Another and ultimate way for applying a liquid bronzer is definately with an airbrush. You will avoid ALL the disadvantages and problems of doing it by hand. For example: Streaking.

i use liquid bronzer sometimes and my method is dotting a small amount onto the cheekbones and blending it with the pads of my index and middle fingers. Sometimes I apply it onto my forehead and chin too, but i often find that the cheekbones are just enough. (Its quite nice as subtle eye make up too)
