Whats In My Make-Up Bag #3

Today I am excited to talk about some bronzers! what they do, why they are even a thing, and how I apply them.I'll also showcase a fun Tarte palette that has a bronzer, highlight, blush, and 6 beautiful shades!

Bronzer

 So the point of a bronzer is to highlight the spots on your face where the sun would naturally hit. Some people are crazy good at it and can completely contour every part of their face. I am not one of those people. So to better explain, below is a diagram I found on google to help!

1)Hoola by Benefit cosmetics
This bronzer has been my go to lately. Its an amazing lightweight formula that gives my skin a nice sun kissed glow!

The brush I use to apply this is by Real Techniques and is a stippling brush. If i'm feeling a little crazy and want to contour my nose, I use a flat brush by E.L.F cosmetics.

2) Tarte Cosmetics Showstopper Clay Palette
I love this palette for so many reasons. This is my go to palette when im traveling or in a hurry and have to do my make up in my car. It includes a bronzer (top left), a highlighter (top right), a blush (middle circle) and of coarse 6 beautiful more natural shades! Now, for me the highlighter is too white so I actually use i on the inner corners of my eyes and to highlight my brow bone to really make my eyes pop! added below is a picture of the placement for that!
