Hello all beautiful ladies!!
As the Name suggest its a post differentiating bronzing and contouring and now i know most of you will say ohh this girl is crazy stupid because If you are a regular reader of this blog then you guys must know that I posted a Tutorial on How you Can Contour Your Face and if You haven't Read it yet you can Click here and read it!
Now as you know i suggested you all to use a matte bronzer to use as a contour for you and now here i am just pointing that bronzing and contouring is diffrent!! Isn't it?? Definitely it is! but there was a reason behind that actually i wanted to keep thattutorial simple for you so that even an amateur can understand it easily and learn and now i am going to tell you in this post that what exactly the difference between contouring and bronzing by going into a little dept and it is like an advance one!
So Actually bronzers are especially designed to warm up your skin!! suppose you go out and get a tan in the sun this is actually what bronzer does!! it tanns up your skin and adds colour to your face whereas Contouring is all about creating shadows to the areas we want to hide and reshaping your Face.
Take a mirror and just suck in your cheeks and look at the hollows!! what colour can you see?? More like a greyish brown kind of colour and this is what the shadows looks like but when you look at the bronzers those are not grey they are two warm and make your skin glowy.Bronzers and highlighters are actually applied to the areas we want to bring forward and make them stand out whereas we apply contour shades to area we want to hide or recede.
There is actually no issue doing contouring with a matte bronzer but it actually makes a difference when you do it with contouring powders.just look at the above picture!! on the left side i have contoured my Face using a bronzer and on the right side i have done contouring with a contouring powder.Can you see the difference??
In the left picture my face is having a glow and i haven't shaped any area instead added a glow or colour to my face and on the right side all is subtle and structured.
Let me just explain you the difference between the two using some pictures.
Look at the left picture it is more like a warm toned brown whereas the right one is more like a cool toned brown and it actually sculpts and create shapes.!!
Left one is Catrice Cosmetics Sun Glow Matt Bronzing Powder and right one is loreal Paris The One sweep Sculpting Blush Duo
As i said in my last post related to contour that you can even use a compact powder which is 2 to 3 shades darker than your actual skin colour because if you just look at the picture above and compare it to the last picture which is just above this one you can see compacts are not too warm like a bronzer and not too cool like a sculpting/Bronzing powder and just bangs inbetween so these actually works best to use as a contour for your face and more easily available in india :p
And i said even last time if you don't have any powder or you don't want to invest right now so you can always start with a matte borwn eyeshadow just make sure whatever shade you select isn't too dark for your skin colour else it will look like a mud on your face.
And those who asked me that adding a colour which is darker than our skin colour will look weird i want to make you clear that opt for a right colour and a right tool/brushes and blend well and in right way!! This way it won't look like we have put something on your face and will actually look like a part of your face!!
