It’s Bronzer Season
Let's take a look at the difference between…
What is Bronzer?
Bronzer works primarily to add warmth and sun-kissed color to your complexion. Bronzer is applied where the sun would naturally hit the face. Multiple shades fall under bronzer shades, but tend to have a yellow, olive, golden, or sometimes even red undertone.
What is Contour?
Slightly different than bronzer, contour is a helpful tool for sculpting and shaping (often alongside a highlight for extra contrast). Contour shades mimic shadows occurring naturally on faces and almost can create an illusion of a more sculpted face. Simply put, when wanting to define the structure of your face, expand the dimension, and accentuate the shape, using a contouring method will help you achieve those results.
Bronzer Vs. Contour...
The differences between bronzer and contour are pretty simple: One adds warmth and mimics where the sun would naturally hit the face, and the other is primarily used for definition and sculpting.
