Another Bronzer Question

Being a paler skinned person I used to be afraid of bronzer. Recently I've been doing research and have learned how to contour and whatnot. I've read articles about bronzer placement and my question is, is it wearing bronzer on the cheeks as well as contouring too much? I want to wear it on my cheeks for that "sun kissed glow," but I love the effect contouring has on my face. Any suggestions or advice??

Make sure the contour color is matte, then it will look more natural ^^.. maybe that will work out :)

I contour everyday with a darker colour matte foundation, and most days i will put some bronzer on my cheeks :) i never thought it was too much, plus a slight shimmer in the bronzer can act as a small highlight, so you get a really defined face shape !

I contour with a deeper matte color and then if you wanna have a nice sun kissed glow i usually mix a little bit of my bronzer with whatever blush I'm gonna use! Or you can use a bronzer with shimmer or relflects

I know exactly what you're talking about. What I do.. I have a matte lighter brown bronzer- I'm pale- and I use that to contour the face- cheek bones, temples, the sides of the face, and then to give my cheeks a sunkissed glow I use a seperate product! Baked blushes or bronzers usually have a nice glowey shimmer and I use that for the cheeks for glow, while the matte bronzer is my contour. Hope that helped!
