Hello everyone! Elizabeth, the author and creator of the Beauty viewer channel, is in touch.
In fact, I had no plans to create such a series of articles. But as it turned out, many of my readers did not know the names of many means, some even reproached me for this. I am improving, my dears, today we will analyze such cosmetics as bronzer and sculptor. I'll tell you what they are and how to use them correctly.
At the end of the article there will be links to publications about highlighter and adjuster.
Some people confuse the sculptor and the bronzer, in fact, both of them perform face correction. But their tasks are slightly different.
Sculptor - a corrective agent specially created to emphasize the natural shadow on the face and visually remove volumes, for example, cheeks or make the forehead smaller.
In color, the sculptor has a cool undertone to give a natural shadow. Unlike bronzer, it has no shine and is completely matte.
There are creamy and dry sculptor textures. Cream is more versatile to work with, but they need to be able to work and shade well so that it doesn't look like a clear streak. Creamy textures would not be advised for owners of oily skin, because the firmness decreases. The dry sculptor will suit any skin type as long as you don't have obvious flaking.
The sculptor is applied with a natural beveled brush, it is not necessary to apply to all the areas presented, select the method of application for your features and face shape.
Subzygomatic zone - the line goes from the middle of the ear to the middle of the cheek, in order to apply the sculptor correctly, put your index finger from the middle of the ear towards the corners of the lips, you do not need to make a line that is too long, this will visually stretch face.
Hairline (top of the forehead) - visually this makes the forehead smaller. If your forehead is proportional to your face or, on the contrary, is small, then you do not need to apply the sculptor to this area.
Temporal zone - visually makes the forehead narrower, this method of application is suitable for those who have it wide.
Jaw line and chin - is applied to give definition and visually make the second chin smaller. Finding this line is not difficult, it goes from the earlobe to the chin.
Nose - the sides of the nose are darkened to visually make the nose narrower and on the nasal septum (columella) to make the nose a little shorter. I do not like to apply the sculptor on the nose, because it looks beautiful only in the photo, in real life it is comical and unnatural.
When using a sculptor, it is important to understand and take into account that the gray undertone visually also makes the face gray. Therefore, if you do not have bright accents in your makeup (lips or eyes), then it is better not to get carried away with the sculptor. But, for example, for a bright evening make-up it will be very useful, because when applied correctly, it makes the face more textured. Recently, I prefer bronzer more, it refreshes the face and makes it rested.
Bronzer - a cosmetic decorative product that gives the face a tan. The bronzer has a warm undertone that gives the face a fresh and rested look.
As a rule, bronzer is produced in dry textures, but manufacturers do not stand still and come up with new formats, for example, stick or fluid.
It may contain a little shimmer, and sometimes a large shine, it's more careful here, if you have problem skin with rashes, then the shine will only emphasize them. But on tanned skin, a bronzer with a golden shimmer will look very beautiful. Whites with this product need to be very careful, the effect of red spots may result.
Applying a bronzer is much easier than applying a sculptor. It is not necessary to take into account the features of your face, just apply to the areas where the first tan falls. This is the temporal zone, cheekbone and jaw line, to make it easier to remember, draw the number 3 on the side of the face.
You can add a little bronzer (residues on the brush) on the nose and under the eyebrow. Large natural bristle brushes are great for applying bronzing powder.
Recently, I prefer bronzer more, it refreshes my face and makes it rested, The sculptor's hand does not reach at all, and the trend for contouring is already passing, naturalness is in fashion and naturalness.
