![]() This is also why a bronzer with red undertones may be a great option if you have a darker skin tone and struggle to find a shade that shows up. For light to medium complexions, "avoid bronzers that appear overly orange or red-toned in the pan, as it will only come across more intense when you apply it to the skin," says Flowers. In terms of undertones, look for options that are neutral to get the most believable glow possible. If you have fair skin, New York City-based makeup artist Elisa Flowers previously told Allure to consider looking for a bronzer just a shade or two darker than your skin tone for the most natural result and to always, always use a light hand when applying.

Ultimately, your best bet is to look for ranges that offer deep shades that will not only show up but will also add a gorgeous glow to the skin. That being said, there are some brands - like LYS and Fenty Beauty - that get it right. Keep in mind that it can be especially tricky (and unfairly so) for those with dark and deep complexions to find a suitable bronzer or contour as there are fewer options on the market that cater to those skin tones. "Contouring is about shaping and defining the structure of the face, while bronzing is about warming up the skin where the sun would naturally hit." Mario Dedivanovic, Kim Kardashian's makeup artist and arguably the king of contour, echoes this sentiment, adding that contouring creates dimension and symmetry, whereas bronzing adds a natural wash of color. While both contour and bronzer add depth and drama to a makeup look, "there's a big difference between the two," says New York City-based makeup artist Daniel Martin. ![]() Robin Black is a makeup artist and founder of Beauty Is Boring.Mario Dedivanovic is a makeup artist and founder of Makeup By Mario.Daniel Martin is a makeup artist and global director of artistry and education at Tatcha.
