Take a look at any fashion magazine or fashion ad and you will notice the art of contouring on almost every model.  It is easy to recreate the look, but important to follow these techniques to avoid the the contour from looking choppy or like a one-inch strip.

1) When applying bronzer start at your temple, sweeping down, ending at the apple of the cheek. Make sure that you blend your bronzer out very softly, the contour should look like a shaded area not a strip.

**Going side to side or in a circular motion gives an unnatural look.**

2) Apply your blush only to the apple of your cheeks. Make sure to blend the blush into the bronzer to avoid a hard contrast or heavy concentration of color. This gives you a natural sun kissed glow with a pop of color.

My favorite blushes and bronzers are Bobbi Brown’s.  She offers shimmer and matte options, I generally like my bronzer to be matte and have a fine shimmer in my blush.
