Prolong your tanned complexion with Poudre Soleil: 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. Then apply your foundation, making sure it's well blended and even to avoid demarcation.
Step 2: Choose the right shade of bronzing powder
Choosing the shade of your sun powder is important for 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 may look 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. 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.
