Golden insider guide to bronzer

I don't know about you, but I'm a bit scared of bronzer.

- 

I'm pretty pale, so for me, one wrong sweep and I've ruined my whole makeup look.

But at this time of year, Google searches for bronzer are up, up, up. So I called makeup artist Carly Utting, Global Senior Artist for MAC (maccosmetics.co.uk) for the lowdown on getting bronzer bang on.

INSIDER SECRETS

■For natural-looking bronzer application, choose a sheer powder bronzer - like MAC Sunstruck, £32 - and use a very loose soft brush with long hairs.

This will ensure the ends of the soft hairs are softly sweeping the skin and gently leaving a thin layer of bronze on those high points of the face.
