If you have medium to tanned skin tone then you must be having a tough time selecting makeup products. If not all the products, in this post we will clear your doubts about selecting bronzers for medium to tanned skin.
There are a few things that you need to keep in mind when you choose a bronzer for medium to tanned skin tone.
- Color to choose:- If you have an olive skin tone then you must go for shades like soft copper, sheer amber, bronze, brownish-pink etc. For a yellow undertone, you may go for a tan, soft coral, shimmery peach or gold shade. If you want a brightening effect then you should choose a peachy or rosy toned bronzer. You can go for a bronzer duo if you want to custom blend the bronzer. Warm pinks as well as subtle golden flecks are always a flattering option.
- Use less product: - Going overboard with a bronzer can make you look awful and unnatural.
- Avoid:- It is better to avoid light pinks and too-soft peaches as they have an inclination to wash out medium skin tone.
- To choose shimmer or not: - It is better to avoid overtly shimmer bronzers if you have fine lines, blemishes or wrinkles on your skin as the shimmer will only intensify them.
