How to Wear Bronzer So It Flatters Your Freckles

As any freckled-lady can attest, bronzer seems like a good idea until you swipe some on and it turns your spots into one solid stripe. Thankfully, we have more options now.

Gone are the days when the only choices we had were muddy-looking powders that did nothing for our skin. Now, we have liquid tints and drops that can easily be mixed into your foundation and blend in much more seamlessly. Just make sure to avoid anything that's too orange or copper and use a light hand.

We like to sweep it on using a big, fluffy brush and apply it wherever the sun naturally hits the face (so across the forehead, down the nose and on the cheekbones). Pair it with a pop of pink or coral blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend, blend, blend for the most subtle, sun-kissed glow like our girl Meghan here.
