Today I bought NYC Bronzer in Sunny, and have a couple questions. They might be stupid, but I don't wanna not ask then look like a dorito. I know I have to apply it to my neck too. My questions are...
1. Can/do I apply it to my whole face? I'm not wanting to contour or anything fancy, just want to look a little sun kissed.
2. Can I put my translucent powder on top of it? I use Rimmell Stay Matte.
3. Will I look orange in the floresant lights they have at the mall, like at Against All Odds, or Sephora?

I looked at it most natural light nature can supply to me right now, but its kinda dark and snowing out so I might have to try tomorrow. Thanks to all that help! :)

I tend to suggest applying in the area where the sun hits for a natural look

LOL at look like a dorito! It can be a little on the orangey side on some skin tones. I'd just apply very lightly & gradually and see how it looks on you :)

I've never tried that bronzer, but you can apply NARS Laguna bronzer all over your face, it looks really natural, and you can contour with it as well.

For the light question, if you apply any kind of make up it will look different in different lighting. If you're worried about fluro lights you should find one around your house and check your make up there so you can see what it looks like!

Apply the bronzer like a 3 on the sides on your face..and a backwards 3 for the other...its suspose to highlight where the sun would hit so a 3...forehead swipe side of your eye to cheek side of your face to chin...Does that make sence.

Don't put it all over your face! Sunny tends to be a bit on the orange side if you overdo it. I would recommend putting it on your forehead (like by your hairline), down your noses, on the hollows of your cheeks, temples, and on your jawline. If you don't want a contoured look, use a a big fluffy brush to apply. Make sure to blend! :)

Thanks guys! I'm experimenting a little bit since I'm not going anywhere else today. I tried it on my whole face first, it didnt look too bad but I'm nervous about natural and floresant lights. I'm going to try the suggestions about 3 next. I don't see much difference from when I applied it and when I don't. I'm kinda tanned already, I'm half PR. Maybe bronzer might not be right for me. Idk ladies, I'll try all your suggestions though! Youre all so helpful! ♥

I am a freelance makeuo artist. get a big fluffy head brush dip lightlyvin powder and swirl tap brush then apply to forehead down nise cheeks chin and brush up neck. don't use too much. then repeat steps to get color you want. build is better than putting to much on!!
