​For the longest time, bronzer has been pegged as an unnecessary step for Indian skin. We’ve rarely stopped to think about how to use bronzer because we’re already naturally sun-kissed; what more could it possibly add? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Bronzer can, in fact, bring dimension, warmth and life that’s been negated by colour correcting and foundation back into the face. The right shade and application can make skin look fresher and healthier, as though you have just spent time outdoors.. As makeup has moved towards a more pared back, skin-adjacent finish, bronzer has started to make even more sense. It does not read as heavy makeup, as you may at first think. Instead, it creates that believable, ever-so-light tint that makes skin look naturally radiant. Especially in summer, when full coverage and multiple layers can feel excessive, bronzer offers just enough enhancement without looking overdone. A dab of concealer, a brush of bronzer, some lip balm and a light coat of mascara can make you look like your best self.. Bronzer vs contour: what is the difference?. Bronzer and contour are often grouped together, but they do very different things. As makeup artist and educator Puneet B Saini explains, “There are bronzers and there are contouring powders and it’s important to understand the difference. Bronzers are warmer and more skin-like, adding warmth, glow and a mild, sun-kissed radiance, while contours are cooler-toned, greyer and more shadow-like, used to create sharper depth and structure.”. Unlike contour, which can sometimes look too harsh or overly sculpted, bronzer is more forgiving and generally easier to wear.. What bronzer can do for a makeup look. One of bronzer’s biggest strengths is its versatility, but it is equally important to understand how to use bronzer the right way. It can warm up the complexion, add softness to the face and pull an entire look together without making it feel obviously made-up. It is especially useful on days when you want your skin to just look healthy rather than heavily done.. Saini points out that bronzer can also work beyond its traditional role. “Bronzer can double up as blush in a nude, monochromatic look or create a radiant, sun-kissed glow when applied to the high points of the face, like the temples, cheeks and bridge of the nose,” she says.. This ease of use and versatility is part of its appeal. Bronzer blends into the skin in a way that feels intuitive, whether you are doing a full face of makeup or keeping things minimal.. How to use bronzer correctly. The trick with bronzer is not to overthink it. A believable finish comes down to the right tone, formula and placement.. Choose a shade that is one to two tones deeper than your skin tone.. Pick a finish based on the look you want: matte for subtle definition or satin for a softly luminous, added glow.. Apply it where the sun would naturally hit your face, such as the temples, cheeks and bridge of the nose.. Blend thoroughly so t  

​You emerge in new and beautiful ways, Gemini. Something in your life has felt like an ongoing struggle and that very thing receives a flipped switch. You may have thought that there is only one way out, but in reality, there are multiple ways in which you can make this very situation work. Open up. Scorpio, you may have been hurt in the past, however, you need not be taking those injuries forward in your everyday waking life. There may be a rift you may feel in your personal life—within a personal and very important relationship, almost like two opposites that once seemed one. Let your thoughts land gently, even amidst chaos. You tend to get so involved and passionate about the past and perhaps even your present that you forget to breathe. It is safe to say that things tend to consume you and hence you find yourself often looking back and revelling at the happier times because when that moment existed you were busy looking elsewhere. And this is the irony of seeking constant adventure. However, Sag, you can take a break and find thrill even in the moment you are in. The most important part of leadership is not the willingness or skill to show the way—but it is simply empathy. Libra, work is a part of the pie not the entire pie in itself. So while you may be looking at the flaws to craft details into perfection, also remember to view people as human—pulsating with life, emotion, and experience..

Good times are here for you—you only need to cut out the noise.. Cosmic tip: Focus, focus, focus. Communicate and live with a vision..
