My Makeup Journey Part 4: Bronzer & Blush
Hi all!
Today I am back to talk about Bronzer & Blush. If you didn’t know, this is a new series on my blog titled: My Makeup Journey. Click here to follow along. At 35 years of age, I can confidently say that I have never truly understood how to apply my makeup. In the recent months, I decided it was time to learn. I went down the rabbit-hole of TikTok beauty tutorials and to my utter amazement, I realised I had been doing SO many things wrong, for so many years. I’m not even close to being an expert now, but I am certainly wiser than I was before. I want to share everything I have learned, so without further ado, let’s get into it!
PART 4: BRONZER & BLUSH BRONZERI use these bronzing drops from Bys Cosmetics. This is usually my next step after foundation and concealer.
I put a couple of drops on top of my forehead, a dot just below my cheekbones and on the angles of my jaw. I then use a makeup brush to buff them out. The bronzing drops give my face a nice tint but don’t make me look orange.
I use this liquid blush by OXX Cosmetics. This is my favourite makeup product I own. It really ties everything together for me. You only need to apply a small amount on the apples of your cheeks to give a nice, rosy complexion.
A hack I discovered on TikTok was to dab some liquid blush on the apples of your cheeks. Then use your thumb and forefinger as a barrier (see image below) to help you blend the product with a makeup brush upwards, rather than straight across. It’s the perfect tip to keep both sides even.
I’ll be back soon for Part 5: Contouring. I realise I’m not a makeup artist, nor a professional. Everyone does things differently. This is just what is working for me and my skin type. Thanks for reading!
Peace & Love xoxo
