Common Ways Women Over 50 Make Themselves Look Older

Bronzer can warm up the face, but too much can look muddy or artificial. When it is applied heavily around the cheeks, forehead, and jaw, it may emphasize texture and create shadows in the wrong places. Instead of looking sun-kissed, the face can look dull or overdone.

Apply bronzer lightly where the sun would naturally hit: the forehead, cheekbones, and bridge of the nose. Choose a shade only slightly deeper than your skin tone, and blend carefully. If you want more color, build slowly. Warmth should look natural, not like a visible layer.
