NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Bronzer - Butta Than U

When selecting a bronzer, aim for a shade that is one to two shades deeper than your natural skin tone. 'Butta Than U' is a warm shade; consider your undertones and desired depth. If unsure, start with a lighter hand.

While 'Butta Than U' is primarily designed to add warmth and glow, its ability to add definition means it can provide a soft, natural contour, especially if you prefer a less dramatic look than a traditional cool-toned contour product. Apply it just below your cheekbones and blend well.

For an all-over sun-kissed glow, a large, fluffy bronzer brush is ideal for a diffused application. For more targeted definition, a smaller, denser, or angled brush works well. Ensure your brush is clean for optimal results.

Generally, powder bronzers are suitable for most skin types. However, if you have very dry skin, ensure your skin is well-hydrated and prepped with a moisturizer or hydrating primer to prevent the powder from clinging to dry patches. For oily skin, it helps to set foundation and can help absorb excess oil.

Always start with a minimal amount of product on your brush. It's much easier to build up the color gradually than to remove excess. Tap off any extra product from your brush before applying to your face.

The description mentions a 'radiant glow,' which typically indicates a subtle luminosity or finely milled shimmer rather than a flat matte finish. This contributes to the natural, sun-kissed effect.

Use less product; tap off excess from brush. Blend more thoroughly in circular motions. Try a softer, fluffier brush.

Build color gradually with multiple thin layers. Use a slightly denser brush for more color payoff.

Ensure you are applying to the high points of the face where sun naturally hits. Blend edges meticulously. Choose a lighter hand.

Prep skin with a hydrating primer or moisturizer before application. Ensure foundation is not clinging to dry areas.

Set your base makeup with a setting spray before applying bronzer. Consider using a setting powder lightly over the bronzed areas.
