Need basic tips on bronzer.

I might have stupid questions, sorry. But I am really new to bronzers, help...
- Do I need a bronzer if I'm tan? I've read some posts that they use it for tanning.
- I just need something for contouring because I feel I have such a round face :(. Is a bronzer for me or if not, what should I use to contour my face?
- Can you please recommend a non-shimmery product? From experience, I tend to look messy on shiny shimmery blush products. Or maybe it is just my application.
Thank you guys!

Amazonian Clay (non-shimmer) by Tarte is fab. Youtube search Kandee Johnson and Gossmakeupartist for fantastic and thorough tutorials on contouring and color usage.

Yes, I would and do use a bronzer to contour even though I am tan. I only use matte bronzers as I don't like shimmer and my favorite are nars, lancome matte bronzer, rimmel makes a good matte one also. you could also use a darker foundation shade say 1-2 shades darker to contour if you don't like using bronzers.

I only use matte bronzers also! Amazonian clay matte bronzer from tarte is a good contour. But you also need to get a good dense small round brush. You can use it on your temples around your nose cheekbones jawline even though your tan. I always like to pair it with a highlight too! The ambient lighting powder from hourglass. I self tan/fake bake all the time! But these products are awesome and definitely make a difference and show up on my skin!
