BRONZER VS CONTOUR: Let’s Discuss! Bronzers are typically used to bring warmth to the face. Think of them as a product that can make you look sunkissed, all year round. They are typically warmer in tone. Contour powders are really meant to create shadow so that your face can look super chiseled. Think of it as if you are drawing something and you need to create shadow/and dimension. They are typically cooler/ashier in tone. ⠀ Here are my top picks of bronzer & contour shades! (Not every shade is marketed as such, sometimes with deeper complexions you have to get creative 🤷🏿‍♀️) What do you think? Can you tell the difference? 👀 ⠀ Bronzer Side: - Chocolate Litty - #PrimeBeauty - Deep - #MakeupRevolution - Double Date - #TheLipBar - Dark - MakeupRevolution - Supreme - #Morphe - Bronzeville - #PrimeBeauty - Ebene - #MarenaBeaute - Mocha Mami - #FentyBeauty - Coco Naughty - Fenty Beauty ⠀ Contour Side: - Deep Dark - Makeup Revolution - Dark To Deep palette - #BlackRadiance - Med to Dark palette - Black Radiance - Definitive - #MAC - S118 powder - #MakeUpForEver - Ebony pressed powder - #BlackRadiance - Shadowy - MAC - Shadester - MAC - Java superstay powder - #Maybelline ⠀ #CocoaSwatches https://www.instagram.com/p/CAWGSLKhN_P/?igshid=f7oa6qwrxrgi

Important update! The super sought after @covergirl Ebony bronzer is BACK under their Full Spectrum line! I swatched and compared it to a couple other bronzers just to show y’all the undertones. My old ebony bronzer is obviously hella old so the color description may not be 100% accurate but it seems like this new one is a touch more neutral. They both have a hint of shimmer. All in all, this is a great drugstore option for anyone looking for bronzer - I found it on Amazon and included the link in bio for a few hours in case anyone is looking! (it’s an affiliate link from my amazon shop) Who’s excited ? DO WE LOVE? #CocoaSwatches From T to B: - #covergirl FULL Spectrum Ebony Bronzer - #theprimebeauty Bronzeville - #fentybeauty Mocha Mami - #MarenaBeaute Ebene - (old Ebony) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzO-ZQSBq8u/?igshid=1ta2dvsry0m0m

Quick FAQs answered ! - Yes, dark skinned people can use bronzer! 🙄💁🏿‍♀️ - Bronzer is meant to warm up the skin while contour is meant to create shadow. - Bronzers can either be matte or shimmery and are placed on or under the cheekbone!
