  • Choosing the perfect bronzer when you have cooler undertones can be slightly more difficult because most bronzers come in warm tones, and the wrong bronzer can look highly unnatural with your natural skin tone. If you have cool undertones, then you probably have popping blue veins and a bluish hue to your skin in general. Those with cooler undertones also tend to get sun burnt more easily. You also tend to look better in silver jewelry. Bronzers which have a cooler feel to them would look much better on you. Go for shades like pink, rose-gold and peach if you want your bronzer to look natural on your face. Also, check out palettes which have a bronzer-blusher combination, so that the pink looks more natural when combined with the bronzing effect on your skin. Here is what we recommend.

Now that you are equipped with all the tips that you need to keep handy if you want to buy the best bronzer for olive skin, you should know about the several benefits of actually using a bronzer. Apart from bronzing you up and making you look like a copper queen, there are a number of other ways in which you can use your bronzer. Here are some examples.

  • If you have a brown, copper or old based bronzer, you can use it as a contour stick. Simply draw along the natural shadow line of your face and you will get a natural, subtle contour.
  • A bronzer can make your face look thinner and more structured.
  • It adds depth and dimension to your face, which tends to get super washed-out and flat once you pile on the initial layers of makeup, that is, foundation, concealer and primer.
  • You can highlight your face when you have a handy bronzer with you. A dab of bronzer in the right places can give you that red-carpet ready shine which makes people look like actual angels.
