Q: Let me guess, you’re about to post a bronzer tip?
A: Wow, you’re, like, really smart and stuff.

Q: Will some fruits already have read this tip on your work blog?
A: Most likely.

Q: Then why post it here? Lazy? Running out of material?
A: Tough crowd. I’ll post it here because it’s too excellent to not have everyone one know it, do it and love it.

Q: Big call. What you got?
A: A pretty amazing bronzer trick, is what I got. Which is more than I can say for you, and your nasty little questions.

Q: Whatever. Start tricking and tipping, sister.
A: Okay.  So. It’s a leetle bit hard to articulate, as in Very Very Hard, but after my under-eye illuminator triangle, this is probably my Best Tip Ever. I was graciously given it by a Chanel makeup artist, Anthony Adams, and it goes a little something like this…

A:Put some bronzer on your big fluffy blush brush.

Tap off excess. This is important. Do it.

Place your brush at the top of one side of your forehead, right up near the hairline, and proceed to draw a ‘C’ round and down to your cheekbone. It can be a ‘C’ or the top of a large ‘3’ – whatever is easiest for you to imagine.

Next, take the brush from your cheekbone down into another small ‘C’, or the bottom of the ‘3’ to your jawline, just shy of your chin.

Q: Hang on. I’m confused.
A: Oooh, no surprises there. You should’ve just done two ‘C’s (standing for Coco, Chanel – how delicious) or one large number 3 down the side of your face, with the cheekbone acting as the middle of the ‘3’, or the bottom of one ‘C’ and the top of the second.

Q: Okay. Now what?
A: Now, repeat it on the other side of your face, of course. Go over the ‘3’ a few times to build colour if you desire. I do. Especially the bottom half. Be sure to blend in nicely on the jawline; no lines, please.

Q: Uh-huh. And then?
A: Marvel at how naturally tanned and flawlessly bronzed your face is.

Q: And why is this such a special, amazing technique?
A: Because you’re contouring the face and kind of pushing the middle of your face forward by creating a contrast of tone on the outer rim and on the cheekbone. See, by just brushing on your bronzer all over the place, and on the nose and chin and so on (i.e. down the middle of the face, or ‘where the sun hits’) you just end up looking overly brown, or orange, or glittery, or muddy. Not so pretty.

Q: Think you’re so clever, don’t you?
A: I do. Are you about to disagree?

Q: Hey. Leave the questions to me.
A: I’m sorry… was that, was that a statement just there, Mr I’m All About Questions?

Q: Did you just ask another question?
A: That’s more like it. Now let’s just both stick to what we’re best at.
