Bronzing/highlighting has been one of my favorite make up techniques. As a woman of color, I prefer to bring my best features forward as opposed to contouring. The truth is I have little or nothing to ‘hide’…hehehe. I love using bronzers and highlighters because of the glow and dewy finish they give especially on the high points of the cheeks and I never leave my clients’ face or mine without finishing up with a bronzer/highlighter. So, today, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite bronzers and highlighters that are suitable for dark skin ( i.e women of color like youand I). In no particular order, here we go ;
MAC Bronzing Powder is a subtly tinted powder that gives skin sheer, natural colour effects and highlights. Perfect for enhancing skin tone; providing a natural, sun-kissed look; or accentuating a tan. Formulated to provide a smooth, even application on all skin types.
Anastasia Beverly Hills That Glow Glow Kit is a golden and bronze hued palette that is guaranteed to craft a lit-from-within glow for the complexion.

The silky, ultra soft formula hydrates and smoothes the skin to protect against dryness, offers sheer buildable coverage, blends easily for a refined finish and lasts up to 12 hours without fading.

And there we go! I know there are tons of bronzers and highlighters that I haven’t tried out yet. I will definitely update this list or make another post as soon as I do. Which bronzers and highlighters am I missing? What is/are your favorite(s)?
Hugs and Kisses,
