How to Use a Bronzer for a Sun-Kissed Glow

Looking for that sun-kissed glow? Makeup Revolution USA’s Vivid Shimmer Brick in Radiant ($7) provides this instant natural radiance to any complexion by combining the warmth of a bronzer with the glow of a highlighter. The compact will define and add shine to the skin with brilliant bronze, rose, gold and copper tones. Imagine your skin just kissed by the sun or filled with the warm shimmer of candlelight; it is as easy to achieve in just one sweep.

The Vivid Shimmer Brick creates all of these variations while allowing you to customize your ideal look. You can blend all of the colors together for a multi-dimensional sparkle or select from one shade at a time to contour select areas. The options are endless as you can highlight, accent or opt for an overall sun kissed shimmer.

How to Use a Bronzer for a Sun-Kissed Glow

Select a powder blush that contains a slight shimmer. Start by applying the blush to the apples of your cheeks. Then slightly extend under the cheek bones.

Lightly dust Makeup Revolution USA’s Vivid Shimmer Brick in Radiant on the top of your cheekbones; the light will naturally reflect off of it. You can opt to mix all of the tones together for a multidimensional glow or you can pick and choose one by one for the desired effect.

Besides the cheekbones, you can add shimmer down the nose, between your eyebrows, or on your temples and chin.

For the eyes, sweep product on the lids and around the corners. For an enhanced eye, add the lighter tones under the brow bone.

Tips from Shelly: You can apply bronzers with a make-up brush, your fingertips or use a cotton pad. You should only apply a bronzer and do your highlighting with proper lighting. Try putting your make-up on near a sunny window or invest in proper “white” lighting for your bathroom. Always make sure you start with a clean & dry face and when the day is over…remember to remove all of your make-up which helps to prevent breakouts. Finally, I own a lot of the make-up from this company and it has always been gentle on my sensitive skin and it removes easily with some soap & water.

My Thoughts: I received a complimentary Makeup Revolution USA’s Vivid Shimmer Brick in Radiant Compact to try out for all of you and instantly fell in-love with it. One of the things I love about this compact is that I can use all of those shades on my face to give myself a sun-kissed glow, to contour my cheekbones and to add highlights. With that said, I love it even more when I use the make-up on my eyes! These shades are great for a natural eye make-up look and work with any skin-tone. Plus, the make-up stays on until I take it off!

I’ve applied this particular makeup onto my face using make-up brushes and at times, I’ve used my fingertips too! It’s really easy to blend together 2 or more shades for a customized look. I have sensitive skin and I’ve had no issues or breakouts when I use the cosmetics from Makeup Revolution.

Note: I had some serious oral surgery earlier this month and ended up severely swollen, bruised and well…a mess. Once the swelling comes down & the bruising goes away, I’ll update this post with a photo of myself wearing the make-up.
