How do you apply bronzer?
How do you apply bronzer?
I’ll rarely reach for bronzer specifically, but I use a more bronzer-like shade for a soft sculpting and warming effect when I don’t know what blush to pair with a look. I’ll just apply it to the tops of my cheeks or more like a cheek contour.

Do you reapply your sunscreen when you wear makeup?
I don’t. I’m indoors most of the time and only briefly outdoors, so I do not bother. If I was going to be outside all day, then I’d likely wear a lot less makeup so I could reapply.
