Have I been walking around with my underwear on my head? I have, haven’t I?

I just watched Elke’s video on how to apply bronzer, and I think my jaw must have hung slack half the time. So this is how you do it?? No wonder I looked terrible in bronzer before! Please do yourself a favor and watch the video, along with her other makeup tutorials. There is already enough ugliness in the world without us contributing to the pot. And by the way, Elke knows what she’s talking about because she’s a makeup artist, and to the stars no less!

So what I was doing wrong was putting the bronzer smack on my forehead and smack on my cheeks. You’re supposed to put the bronzer only at the top of your forehead near the hairline, and on the sides of your face, sort of by the ears. Then of course, you should brush some on the top of your nose and the bottom of your chin.

So here I am after Elke’s tutorial and Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess applied with Tarte’s Glam on the Go kabuki brush. I also have on Tarte Cheekstain in Flush. I’m not sure the bronzed effect quite comes across in this picture, but I am definitely feeling sunkissed right now.

(Unfortunately, I’ve been having problems figuring out how to embed Elke’s YouTube tutorial in my blog, so you’ll just have to watch it directly on her site.)
