KIT TOUR SERIES: Bronzer & Blushes

FOR THE BRIDESFOR THE PROS
Written By Stefanie Weinapple

Bronzer and blush are important when applying makeup for an event and professional photography because they add dimension, warmth, and a healthy glow to the face.

Here's why:

1. Dimension: Bronzer helps to contour and define the face, creating the illusion of depth and structure. It can be applied to the hollows of the cheeks, temples, and jawline to enhance facial features and create a more sculpted look.

2. Warmth: Bronzer adds a sun-kissed glow to the skin, making it look more vibrant and healthy. It can be used to mimic a natural tan or add warmth to the complexion, especially if the lighting at the event or during photography is cool or harsh.

3. Healthy Glow: Blush adds a flush of color to the cheeks, giving the face a youthful and radiant appearance. It can bring life to the complexion and make the skin look fresh and vibrant, even under bright lights or in professional photographs.

In event and professional photography settings, the lighting can often wash out the natural contours and colors of the face. Bronzer and blush help to restore and enhance these features, ensuring that the face looks well-defined, healthy, and photogenic.

My current favorite bronzers for contour and added warmth are:

  • Makeup By Mario Soft Sculpt Sticks

  • Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzers

  • Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzers

My current favorite blushes for a healthy glow:

  • Rare Beauty Liquid Blushes (fav shade is happy)

  • Laura Mercier Blushes

  • Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes
