3. Know your undertones: A rookie mistake the people tend to make when they are picking their bronzers, is overlooking their undertones. Undertones are the hues that your skin radiates, below your skin tone. While you skin tone is fair, dark or olive, your undertones can be of two types- bluish or cool undertones and yellowish or warm undertones. Here is everything you need to know about picking the perfect bronzer based on your undertones.
- First, let’s talk about cool undertones. You can identify whether you have cool undertones or not, if you look at your skin closely. Those who have cool undertones have a deep-seated blue tinge to their skin, and sometimes even veins are visible. It has almost a burgundy feel to it. For skin like this, it is best if you go for lovely pinkish bronzers, which can highlight this latent blue-ness. You can also go for subtle peachy shades, lighter browns and terracotta shades, which can render your skin with a lovely, tanned glow. Here are the bronzers we recommend.

- The way to recognize warmer undertones is by seeing whether you have a yellowish tinge to your face. Those with dark skin will have a more warm shine to their skin and will have a distinctive wheatish tinge to their skin tone. I you have warm undertones to your skin, then you should go for ginger, orange, true brown, deep gold and honey shades in your bronzer, so that you look like an actual bronze goddess.
