Hi girlysss. I've been quite confused by this for a while... Okay so when talked about highlight and contour people say to highlight where sun naturally hits. cheeks bones, bridge of nose ect. But when asked about bronzer people say to put it on the same spots. cheeks & bridge of nose. so my question is why do some people say to highlight those spots with a lighter color, but then some people bronze the same places with a dark color as in bronzer? I just don't get how that makes any sense. And then we're does blush come in lol? I need someone to clear this up been drivin me crazy for a while lol. thanks girls.

You highlight your forehead, nose, chin, and cheekbones.
You put bronzer around the edges of your face
Blush goes on your cheeks

Bronzer is different to contour which is where I think you're getting a bit confused.

Yes you apply bronzer to the places the sun would naturally hit and you can also apply highlighter to these areas. The point of bronzer is to warm up the complexion and give a sunkissed glow. It can be used in addition to contour (which should be cool/ grey toned) and highlight.

Blush can be applied to the apples of the cheeks (though I personally prefer applying it higher up on the cheekbone to lift the face slightly) to give a natural flush.

Hope that helps clear it up for you.

Because when you out bronzer in the same spot as highlighter it gives your face that sunkissed look vs. A contoured look. If the sun naturally hits your cheeks bones then apple the bronzer to your cheek that way when the sun hits that spot it makes you look more bronzed. I hope that made sense.

Personally I put highlighter over bronzer but I use powder products for both of them.
