Mineral Powder Bronzer: A Truly Natural Tanned Look

When the weather is warm and the sun is high everyone wants to be outside. Before that special vacation trip, many hit the tanning bed to get a golden coloring to their skin. Save your money and choose a natural tan instead of damaging your skin.

But, you still want a deeper color to your skin. Choose a mineral makeup bronzer instead of the sun or the tanning bed. A bronzer will add color to your face just as if you had been out in the sun all day. Bronzers come in different shades so be sure to choose one that will complement your normal skin tone.

Because you are using natural mineral makeup, the powder is lightweight and melts into your skin as your body warms up. Your bronzer coverage looks natural and enhances your best features while hiding wrinkles and any discolorations on your face. All anyone will notice is the fresh out of the sun look when you haven't been anywhere at all.

For an added sparkle to your skin, choose a mineral bronzer with shimmering effects. For an evening on the town it gives your skin that extra special glow that will get noticed. The tanning bed can't provide this type of look and with the health benefits.

Applying bronzer to your face is not that hard. Before applying anything, moisturize your face as you usually do. Dry your skin completely.

The first step is to apply a foundation. It's like an artist's palette. The canvas (your face) needs a base so that all of the other colors look their best. Next apply your bronzer to the apples of your cheeks. That is the rounded part that shows when you smile, in case you didn't know. Grandmothers love that part of your cheeks.

Don't stop there. Apply your mineral bronzer to other areas of your face as well. Go to your forehead and sweep side to side; then proceed down the bridge of your nose. Your bronzer will be darker than your foundation but only as dark as you would look if tanned by the sun.

Bronzer works well on other body parts, too. If you decide to go out wearing a strapless dress, you'll need those shoulders to have a bit of sun as well. Apply bronzer to the tops and front of shoulders and your neck. It'll look like you sunned all day.

What about your legs? They can benefit from a few strokes of your magic minerals. Since the legs are a larger area, you'll end up applying more powder there but your Kabuki makeup brush can handle the job. It was made to provide full coverage wherever you need it. Your bronzer can replace pantyhose for outdoor or formal functions when it is too warm for the real thing. No one will know about this makeup trick since minerals melt into your skin and not in streaks down your leg.

The sun can be harsh on your skin. Instead of giving you a great tanned look it will also show damage. Use mineral powder bronzer to simulate a tan without the harmful effects.
