Bronzer vs. contour: What are the differences?
Although bronzers do add dimension and colour to your face, they’re also not to be confused with contour products. Priscilla Ono from Fenty Beauty shared that “the biggest difference is that bronzing products typically have a warmer undertone, while contouring products have a cooler undertone.”
How to apply contour makeup
Contour sticks and powders should be precisely placed in areas where the shadows would hit your face – so think the hollows of cheeks, jawline, edges of your forehead and sides of your nose – and are often behind those viral contour hacks that show up on your TikTok feed. Bronzers, on the other hand, are often applied where the sun would naturally hit your face and leave that bronzy glow. “This includes the high points of the cheeks, temples, and bridge of the nose,” Priscilla shared.
For liquid and creamy formulas, we recommend reaching for a makeup sponge or dabbing it in with your fingers, whereas powdered compacts and palettes work best with makeup brushes.
