Prolong your tanned complexion with the Sun Powder: Application guide

Summer gives us that sun-kissed tan we love so much. But when autumn and winter arrive, it's still possible to preserve that golden glow with the right use of Sun Powder. It brings warmth, dimension and a sun-kissed glow to your face. Here are the key steps to applying sun powder like a pro and maintaining a luminous complexion with elegance.

Step 1: Prepare your skin

Before applying bronzing powder, prepare and moisturize your skin. A light make-up base will facilitate application. Make sure your foundation is well blended and evenly applied, to avoid demarcation.

Step 2: Choose the right shade of bronzing powder

Choosing the right shade of sun powder is crucial to achieving a natural look. Choose a shade that matches your summer skin tone. A powder two shades darker than your current skin tone is ideal. Avoid shades that are too orange or too dark, as they risk looking artificial.

Step 3: Select the right brush

For precise application, use a wide, soft brush like the T.LeClerc N°1 Powder Brush. A clean, dry brush ensures even application of bronzing powder.

Step 4: Apply lightly

Lightly tap brush into powder and shake off excess. Apply powder to naturally sun-exposed areas: cheekbones, top of forehead, nose and chin. Use gentle, upward strokes for a natural result.

Step 5: Carefully blend

Blending is the key to realistic results. Using circular movements, blend the powder towards the contours of your face. The transitions between bronzing powder and the rest of your make-up should be fluid and invisible.

Step 6: Sculpt gently

To accentuate the depth of your complexion, use sun powder to create subtle shadows under the cheekbones, along the jawline and on the sides of the nose. Blend well for a flawless finish. For a harmonious finish, also apply powder lightly to the neck and décolleté for continuity with the face.

Conclusion

By applying Sun Powder strategically, you can prolong the glow of summer all year round. Work lightly, blend carefully, and adjust techniques according to your preferences for a natural, sun-kissed complexion, even in winter.
