I saw many videos in which they used bronzer for countring and then they applied blush. I want to know what is the difference between them and what is the actual use..??
Thanku all:-)

Bronzers are designed to give a sunkissed glow to the face; you apply them to the high points, where the sun would hit.
Blush is to give your cheeks a nice flush of color; you apply it normally to the apples of your cheeks in order to give the appearance of a natural rosy flush.

Side note: Bronzer is not to be used for contouring :)

Bronzer is basically to add a bit of a tan to your face and give it that warm glow. I heard that you shouldn't use a bronzer to contour. People contour to give their face some depth and to define cheekbones or maybe to slim the appearance of their nose. Blush is for adding a natural flush to your face. When you apply foundation your face can end up looking flat and all one colour, but adding a light dusting of blush on your cheeks brings some life back into your face and makes it look more natural.

I agree with hannah, if you want to contour try getting something with a grey undertone, after you contour you want to add blush to define the face and finish the look, if you don't add blush it tends to look plain and incomplete, think of it as a real object you put the object in the sun and it reflects a shadow think of your cheeks and blush being the object, I don't know I it makes seance lol

Also remember for contouring you want to use a matte colour. For a really cheap and good product check out NYX matte eyeshadow in Taupe.

That is all bad I'm sorry to hear that, try the nyx if you don't like it try to save up for a mac one, the right product makes all the difference in the world.

@Stephanie, I believe that would work too, I haven't actually tried it myself though. If it's a matte taupe then it should work fine.

@Sanjana there are so many dupes out there. I recommend taking some of these girls recommendations and googling dupes for them for brands you have in your country

Blush is for rosy cheeks whereas bronzer is to give you a sun kissed glow
