Tips for applying bronzing powder in the winter

November 9th // 5 Comments

With cold weather already upon us, that summer glow is about to be a distant memory. I rely on my Motives Miami Glow bronzer to give my face and neck a little bit of color and shimmer during the winter months – that compact is seriously in my handbag 24/7! Here, my three tips for applying bronzing powder in the winter:

  1. Make sure to set your foundation and concealer with powder before applying bronzer. If your base isn’t set, the bronzer can streak or appear dirty and muddy.
  2. Focus the bronzer near your hairline, jawline, cheekbones and where the sun would naturally hit your face in the summertime.
  3. Pay attention to your neck and ears! Pale neck and ears are a dead giveaway.

I know I’ve mentioned it here on the blog too many times to count, but I love monochromatic makeup. It’s a surefire way to look put together and classy. Case in point: Mandy Moore at the American Music Awards Sunday night. Mandy’s brown hair complimented her silky eyeshadow, dark cheeks and even darker lips:
