I'm a big fan of bronzer. Most pale girls like me will look better with some subtle, well applied colour hence it's the most used item in my make-up bag. So I was pleased when Marks & Spencer sent me one of their New Limited Collection bronzers to try! Here's a close up:
Compared to the bronzer I usually use (Estee Lauder) this M&S one is a bit looser and as I swirled the brush around, it picked up more product than I would want so I was more gentle with my second swirl!
As with all bronzers, you should apply it like a number 3 on your face. Start at your forehead, swirl around your eye to your nose and again across your cheekbone, along your jaw to your chin. Use a tiny amount, build it up and sweep the brush down your neck and over your décolletage. Here are some before and after pictures - this was scary..full closeups! You may want to step back from the computer a bit.. ;)
And here's the final face after some eye make up and lippy!
Final touches - the bling is on and I'm ready to go...have a great Saturday!

Great blog will give this bronzer a try
ReplyDeleteoooh you reminded me my bronzer is finished !
ReplyDeleteGood blog, love seeing beauty tip as as well as fashion.
Have a lovely Saturday!
Yay, it will be lovely to see some beauty posts on your blog :) - I agree that less is more with this bronzer... I found a loose haired brush worked best as it picked up less product and gave a more subtle finish. At least it will last a long time as so little is needed! :)

I really liked this post! Never wear bronzer myself as I'm far too pale but at least now I know how to apply it should I ever want to try :D xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments! I think I'll do another beauty post then next month :) Avril x
ReplyDeleteWhoa!! You look great.. :) A loose bronzer always works magic. I have used a local one which is also good. It should always suit your skin color too..
