Youngblood Defining Bronzer

Matte powder bronzer in 2 shades for warmth and a soft contour

A bronzer gives your face the warmth of a sunny day and adds shape at the same time: beneath the cheekbones, along the temples and the jawline. With a matte bronzer you can do both, because it works as a sun-kissed glow and as a soft contour. The secret is a shade that suits your skin, so the warmth looks natural rather than orange or ashy.

The Youngblood Defining Bronzer is available at Glam Skin in 2 shades: Soleil and Truffle. It is a talc-free, ultra-soft pressed powder with a matte finish that feels weightless and, according to Youngblood, blends naturally. Coverage is buildable and the formula is suitable for all skin types. Each compact contains 8 g.

Why choose the Youngblood Defining Bronzer?

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a matte and a shimmery bronzer?

A matte bronzer like the Defining Bronzer gives warmth and a natural shadow, which makes it suitable for contouring too. A bronzer with shimmer, such as Mineral Radiance, mainly gives a radiant, sun-kissed glow. Many people use matte for definition and shimmer for a summery look.

Which shade suits my skin?

Soleil looks most natural on light to medium skin. Truffle suits tanned to deep skin, or works as a contour on medium skin. If in doubt, choose the lighter shade; you can always add another layer.

Can I combine the bronzer with a highlighter?

Yes, it creates a balance between shadow and light. Apply the bronzer beneath your cheekbones first, then place a highlighter on top of them, for example the Light Reflecting Highlighter.

Which brush should I use?

Youngblood recommends the YB5 Cheek Luxe Brush. With this brush you apply the bronzer softly in the hollows of your cheeks and blend it out seamlessly.
