I’m Buying a New Bronzer… 🛍🖤✨*but it’s not that simple*

- Which makeup item do you want to see next?💗 If you're looking to shop for bronzing powder for your face, there are a few tips from color theory (color and light mathematics) and mood artistry that you can use to create the perfect look for your visual presence. The right bronzing powder can help to reflect your mood and highlight your best features, making you feel confident and beautiful in your own skin and body.
First, consider the atmosphere you want to create with your look. If you're going for a warm, summery vibe, you may want to choose a bronzer with a golden or orange undertone. For a more dramatic look, a deep brown or reddish-bronze shade may be the way to go.
Next, think about your skin tone and how it will interact with the bronzing powder. If you have fair skin, a lighter shade with a subtle shimmer can create a natural-looking glow. For medium or olive-toned skin, a warmer shade with a matte finish can add depth and dimension to your complexion. And if you have a darker skin tone, a rich, highly pigmented bronzer can create a beautiful contrast against your skin.
A Few Tips:
If you use yellow toned foundation, opt for neutral powder toppers (even if you're warm) because it will lessen the "makeup" look intensity (the appearance of the makeup itself, vs your overall beauty)
ROSY toned beauties should also be able to benefit from very neutral (almost "boring" looking bronzers that are de-saturated (less colourful overall) because the rose in your skin will come alive when mixed with a duller shade of bronze - adding a natural dimension and pigment that will appear naturally occurring vs "made on" makeup
Brown skin will look stunning in deliberately deep orangey shades of bronzer - which will not look orange on the skin but work with the skin to color to add a deep vibrancy that is captivating
Leave comments/questions below and I will update the tips above for more shopping-support
Finally, focus on applying the bronzing powder to highlight your best features. Use a large, fluffy brush to apply the powder to the areas where the sun naturally hits your face, such as the cheekbones, forehead, and nose. Blend well to create a seamless, natural-looking finish.
With these tips from color theory and artistry, you can shop for bronzing powder with confidence and create a visual presence that reflects your mood and highlights your best features.

I love the idea of celebrating buying a new makeup product instead of for example a huge haul of products that aren't chosen wisely ♥️
YESSS🙌🙌
Absolutely!
Exactly what I thought! :)
This is the most informative video I have ever seen on brushes. Ladies usually tell which ones they like and the application process, but never the difference between synthetic or natural hair! Thank you for educating me!
Also, the education on bronzers is awesome!
Do a video like this on blush, eyeshadow, all of them!

I love lip & cheek tint..it makes me look and feel so fresh!! And you look insanely gorgeous and I'm looking forward to more Makeup Engineer episodes😄🙌
Same here. It looks natural too.
Can’t tell you how happy I get seeing u posting regularly..love you girl😭
This was so interesting! Would love to see a comparison between the products you use on a minimal makeup day vs full glam ❤
Such a good idea! Thank you 💗🎀
I love these videos because it helps me to be more intentional with the products and clothes I'm buying instead of just buying into marketing. Please do more of these!
Love this take on selecting makeup. Lipstick is my ❤!!
This is the consumerism goal I want to achieve. I'm really new to the make up world and two months ago I bought quite a few products. I tried to choose wisely and really put thoughts into every bit. Now I understand that in my shopping spree there were more misses than hits. And it would be so much better to do it slower, playing with every product as much as I need to move one to the next one.
This approach of enjoying every bit of your purchase and buying only products that your complexion can really benefit from (this fact blew me away for some reason lol), is so good. I really needed this thought to be put into words by someone else to fully understand it! Thank you so much ❤️
I love this concept please make more content like this!!!!!!
Also you have such a comforting voice ❤❤❤
This was amazing!!!
I'd love to learn more about red lipsticks, especially for olive skinned gals! I always feel like they require so much "engineering" because there are so many reds out there and it's hard to find one that doesn't look awkward. Thank you for this video!
I would like more videos like this. I'm a very very fair cool olive under toned lady and its so hard for me to find shades of everything that look good on me. I always say I have a seafoam undertone. So i love these color theory videos. They are so helpful
Nailed it when you said sea foam undertone. 😂 That’s me.
I also have very pale skin but cool yellow undertones. It’s impossible to try to find a foundation and bronzer that suits my skin tone ugh the struggle is real
This is the kind of video that is actually useful! I love that you don’t do the same repetitive beauty as other UA-camrs.
OMG! I loved this Alexandra! I love EYESHADOWS. Thats my favorite makeup item. I loved this videooo! (as I also love bronzers) MORE OF THIS SERIES PLEASE (hearts)
I like how you said a purple-y bronzer would compliment cool olive skin! I didn’t know that!
Im defo going to try this blush for a bronzer. I struggle to find anything that doesn’t go orange on me!! Only occurred to me the other month that I’ve got a olive tone 😅
Thank you so much!! Please keep this types of videos coming
Please more videos on olive skin makeup and clothes !
Yes yes yes, I love this series ..makeup engineering, also good job on explaning the reasons you went for a blush 😊
I've been lovinnggg your videos lately!!! The content you put ou (that you've always put out) is so helpful and informative
Love this lesson on bronzer shopping!! My skin tone is close to yours; I think I'll try MAC Harmony blush. I'm really struggling with eyebrows. I've used GimmeBrow by Benefit but I need more than just that.
I second the brow struggle. My brow hair are pitch black but black brow product would obviously look ridiculous. I've been thinking of bleaching/lifting my eyebrows, but that just seems like a disaster in the making💀
I love your bone structure and lips specifically compliment it so much hun! i will never know how you're not a super model
So incredibly informative and interesting too! Thank you for sharing!
Oh boy!! I have always hated bronzer because I could never get the color right. I hated the way i looked wearing it. You're tips and tricks make so much sense. Soon as I saw this video, I went to look for a new bronzer using your advice with your explanation of color theory. Thank you so much. You have helped me find a beautiful bronzer that suits my skin tone. I am in love with it! I can't wait to see more of your videos! 😊
You saved my life we have similar skin tones I’m olive with green veins so I’m definitely trying this out so beautiful thank you
Love the short vids but i'm really missing the long ones :( i know they take much more time to create but i NEED another womanly video😩❤️ they're just too good. love your work alexandra!!!
Incredibly a creative way to make a video about a bronzer. Wow. ❤
My favorite makeup item is probably foundation. Gotta cover all the imperfections on my face so might as well slap a layer of foundation on
Do you like skincare too? Liquid exfoliants for example? 😊 thanks for watching 💗
i'm so happy that mindful shopping is now a thing! your videos are like a fresh breath of air.. thank you, Alexandra. best wishes!
Yes!! 😄 More Makeup Engineer videos please! 😍 This was so informative and inspiring! And I just love how you treat makeup like art. 😍🥰💗
Love this! I’ve never really been into bronzer. I’ve always been more into blush, but this really makes me want to explore it more.
I love how intelligent you are and I love how you walk us through your thought process, it makes it fun for us to follow as well as gain new knowledge if we already don’t know
I've really been enjoying your content. I missed you for a while. I really appreciate your unique approach. Your content is informative, raw, classy, fun, and even spiritual. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us.
This video came as an answer to my prayers. Actually a miracle how this video is so spot on to what I need. I have been looking for a bronzer I’d love for AGES, literal years, and never liked one. They all looked too orange/unnatural/etc. I just got back from target and tried on one from makeup revolution that looked promising and turned orange on me😭 I just opened UA-cam and see THIS gem?!! Soooo happy 🫶
Omg!💙 thank you for sharing!!! I hope you can return the makeup revolution one still even if you’ve just tried it once ✨
@@AlexandrasGirlyTalk Thank you angel 😭!! I’ve been a subscriber for so long (since middle school lol!) and love your you and your content so so much (especially your color theory ones!) they help me understand so much ❤️
Can you make a video on selecting colors for makeup and how to choose colors for a cohesive look- warm/cool/neutral?
I like to use slightly darker powder as my bronzer
This is sooo helpful , thank you love 🥰✨. I have light medium olive undertones and sometimes bronzer is a headache for me . Appreciate this insight on color theory!!
I would love if you could do color recommendations for different skin tones
I love this video concept and I look forward to seeing more. I'm interested in "your face but better" type products right now.
I love those! Thank you for the content inspiration 🥰✨💋
I’m so glad you’re back. You’re videos are so helpful!!
I love this! I literally am looking for a bronzer as a black lady and I keep researching. Can’t wait to watch this later🎉
I really Love that you Post so much recently. Your Videos are so soothing yet informative and exciting! It Just makes my day😍😍😍
Just have to say thanks much for your brilliant idea. Most bronzers are way too orange for me, and the cooler tones are often too grey. Never in a million years would I have thought to use a blush as contour/bronzer, but this MAC color really works for me! Thanks again.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I really enjoyed it. I love how you really got excited and found a product that worked for you instead of what’s trending. I’ve been a little obsessed with finding a bronzer that doesn’t look orange on me and I am KICKING myself because I used to have harmony and gave it away because I didn’t like it as a blush. 😭 HOWEVER…thebalm balm desert! It’s that same almost purple looking brown but has a beautiful sheen to it. Now I think I want to repurchase harmony though as a matte alternative. If you’re ever in the market for a bronzer with a sheen I bet you would love it! Thanks!
I want to enroll for THIS engineering course😍
What foundation are you wearing in this video? It looks like it might be a good match for me. I'd love for you to make a video on olive foundations or a video on makeup for olive skin (it can be so challenging to figure out)
This is already an all-time favorite video 🙌🙌would love an episode on Foundation/Concealer!!
Great video! Helpful, informative and fun ❤ blush is my fav!
This was Fasinating!! Please I would love to see a video like this but with blush. 💕💕💕 💋 xoxo
I love blush 😍 I will definitely do this!
i wanna learn how to do my eyes like yours! its so pretty yet so natural looking. whenever I try to do it, it looks like I try to hard. Also my favourite bronzer is revlon Skin Lights! It works exactly as youve described. Not shimmer, not matte. but it disappears when hit by the light.
I’m so curious about this! I wonder why that is, do you use multiple shadows over primer?✨ if you don’t mind sharing 💗
I love the color science content! Thank you!
Woow this is different, I hope you would explain the other undertone skin colors to (because I have no Ideas about color science) ! Thank you for sharing. My favorite make up item is lipgloss but besides that it’s consealer
More please, you’re brilliant
Loved the video! I learned a lot . I’m in the process of buying new more inspiring makeup and changing my routine to look more polished . I have a similar skin tone to yours and in the look out for a new bronzer , perfect timing .
The product I like the most is concealer, it is also the most challenging to me.
It took me until this year to not be afraid of a purple toned bronzer for my olive undertone complexion. Dallas by Benefit is one I like. I wish someone would do a video on purple toned bronzers.
My favourite product is eyeliner, and especially the ones that give a pop of colour.
I love brown or black eye pencil and blush. I can go just with those.
You literally persuaded me to buy the Mac bronzer as it looked so lovely and unique!!
Please make a video on shades and colour on different skin colour and tone.
I get you 💯 I have also an pale olive undertone like you and orange bronzer never looked good over Foundation, only by itself on natural day Make-up or in combination with other bronzers for a night out. So funny you bought Harmony!!! I used it years ago and I loved the look! But after time I always want to change my everyday look so I keep on playing with bronzers 🤪🤪🤪 I still have Harmony so I have to grab it and put it on right now hahaha but if I like it I would have to buy a new one mine is just too old ❤ love love love seeing you thinking the same way about colors, Makeup and also good looking packaging as it plays also for me a role how it looks in my makeup bag 😂 so get you 💯 and I am sooo happy finally hearing someone who thinks like me 💖
Please do your magneto look foundation bronzer blush etc in this video this look looks good!!! Need!! The products and shades
Hiiiii Miss Alexandra! My favorite face product is Essence Pure Nude highlighter. We have almost the same coloring (dark hair, brown eyes, berries+cream, Italian/olive undertones), and it’s the only highlighter I own! My shade is Be My Highlight, and I absolutely love it.
My favorite mascara is a combo of Wet n’ Wild Mega Length, with Maybelline Lash Stiletto as the second coat. It’s just perfect, although I’ll use Lash Stiletto by itself, too.
NYX Butter Gloss rocks my world! I have it in 7 or 8 shades!
Skin care: I’ve been using Pur-Adore rose oil, Body Shop’s Vitamin C Instant smoother, and Cera Vie (all 3 giving each a minute to sink in), and my skin has never looked better.
❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing ❤😍 makes me want to try these too!
urghhh this new series is pure perfection. please do one on concealer😊
I can never find a blush that pops on me. Can you do a video on finding your blush shade!
I'd like to learn about blushes
I always enjoy your content ☺️ I'm excited for this series
This Video can change your life... legit
wow... no one ever explained this so deeply... understanding the undertone of your skin and choosing makeup products according to that is like the real game... its like doctorate in makeup. 🙌
I love this video, actually all of your videos because you critically think and make me critically think. I was thinking of getting a new bronzer and most of the time I let the beauty influencers convince me of what to get and most of the time I’m disappointed because the product doesn’t look as nice. I have lot of bronzers, most I should throw away because they’re old, but I have one that I’m going to test again thanks to this video. How can I know,for sure, what undertones I have? I think you have a video about this, I’ll look for it. Thanks again!!❤
Love your videos 😍
Thank you for this. I am a pâle skined person who went to a tanning bed for over 3 months and looked like a carrot after. Tha being said. This helped me with color choice or even la ck there of so much color being à better idea. This video is amazing ❤❤
Not a makeup fan but love eyeliner and lipstick it’s like a combination look and I love yr videos so much
i love using my blush as everything, like cheeks + lip tint + eyes!
however i have a really hard time finding my shade even after going thru a lot of colour theory. i have both green and blue veins, which seems to mean neutral tone. they say that neutral means you can wear any shade, but it just seems like everything looks "off" on me!
You should do more tests like the paper test, gold vs silver jewelery etc. Then you can see which you are more dominant on or if you are Truly neutral
I am a color analyst. If you are neutral it is best to choose a color that is neither to warm or to cool. So in the middle. Peachy rose is more on the neutral side (neutral warm), so is rosy beige( neutral cool). Stay away from orangy and cool pink tones
Do a video how to choose blusher💕 as a black girl i don't know what color of blusher that suits me?!!!!!!!!
Can you pleaseeee do a video on lip injections and what works best for you and the process 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is such a great idea for a video! I would love to see more product Reviews in this style of video ❤️
I would love an episode on blush please please do one
This is such a enlightening video!
do blush next plz!
Hey Babe ! Can you do a Video like this for the perfect Lipstick shade ?? 🤍
Please make a vid on blushhh
Loved it! I love blush
i love blush!!
If you can, please do one on darker skins. My challenge is I already have multiple tones in my skin before adding make up. It would be interesting to hear your perspective on balancing existing tones. Similar to the tip on using dark eyelids😊
I've only ever used mascara because I just don't know how to do makeup, and I'm scared to try most of the time. You inspire me to want to learn more though, and I'd love a video on eyeshadow or lip color!
You can always try experimenting with makeup on your free time, it's okay if it doesn't come good right away, it can take time. Good luck:)
What books have you read to increase your knowledge about this whole area of color and makeup and all the different little tricks that you know?
This is advanced and I am trying to get it, but still am learning.
Hey @AlexandraGirlyTalk! Just wanted to let you know you put the link of the lipstick again under the link to your blush! I don´t want you to miss out on commissions as I know you put such a big effort to post high quality videos. It doesn't go unnoticed =) I love them!
This was so fun and different. ❤
I never use bronzer so I’m really curious about this video!
MORE❤❤❤❤❤❤
Turn your focus to being. Being happy. Being positive. Being kind.🪄
Brush, loving the consistency 🎉
I really like the concept, it promotes quality over quantity.
Love it keep it going… I love color theory!
Blush
i also use products for what they aren‘t labelled as. some people make fun of me when i tell them, but i don‘t wanna spend 300 bucks on a full face of make up, i wanna spend 20 on a versitile eyeshadow palette that triples as blush and contour🤷🏻♀️
I’m obsessed! I love how using makeup this way turns it into a brain exercise too 🎀🌡🧠🔑✨
Do this foundation look what foundation concealer and setting powder are you wearing please??? What shades
LOVE THIS!!!
Can you do more videos on texture?
Would you please make some more videos on fashion and style? 🙏 I don’t wear much makeup and could really use some help with day to day fashion in 2023. Because of your videos I’ve purchased several useful tools and cannot remember life before them. Thank you again for doing the Lord’s work 😊
off topic but how did you cook the toast like that??!! it looks so good.
I love that you saw that and asked 😅❤️ it’s so good, I put a lot of butter in the pan and fry it until I like how toasted it is (flip once to toast the other side too)
