Bronzer guide
How to pick a bronzer that warms without muddying.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca. Part of the Blush, Bronzer, Contour & Highlight guide.
When to use it
After base, before blush.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
On deeper skin a bronzer must be genuinely deeper and warmer than the skin, or it does nothing at all.
The rule that runs through every product on this site: check undertone, not just depth. Most Moroccan skin is olive or golden, and a neutral or pink-based product greys within the hour however precisely the depth matches. And for any long event, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer — accumulated product slides in coastal humidity, while product laid down thinly stays.
What it will not do
Depth. It adds warmth, not shadow.
The most common mistake
Choosing a shade with grey in it. Warm reads as sun; cool reads as dirt.
