Put simply, bronzer should be applied wherever the sun would naturally hit your face. Think of the number 3. First, do a 3 formation on each side of the face starting from the temples, down to the cheekbone, ending at the jawline. Then, sweep some color on the forehead, nose, chin, very lightly. If you want to contour the hollows of your cheek, use a matte bronzer instead.

For a deeper cheek look (say, for low-light areas like bars/clubs), sweep the bronzer over the apples of your cheeks and slightly underneath in the lower cheek area. Dust some underneath chin and lightly around face to make a round face appear slimmer, or even lightly on the nose to add definition. For a just-back-from-the-beach look, I sometimes apply the bronzer to the cheek area just below my eyes and outward. It will look like you walked the beach during midday.

They are great to mix together and apply with a big fluffy brush across the bridge of the nose, the tops of your cheeks and blend back toward your hairline and also above the forehead at the hairline to give face a sculpted look. The bronzer alone should be applied where the sun would naturally hit and tan: bridge of nose, top of forehead and cheek bones; blush is great alone for the apples of the cheeks.

The bronzer should be applied to the hollows of your cheeks, under the cheekbone. I use an angled face brush and make a nice sweep starting from the inside out or I use a bronzer brush and buff it into my skin in a circular motion, again starting from the inside out. It can also be applied to your jawbone, temples, chin and sides of the nose. A great trick is the make a "3" on the sides of your face starting at your temple, swooping into the hollow of your cheeks and down to your chin. Instant glow!

Apply bronzer to the hollows of your cheeks, dust it down your nose your forehead and chin. Typically where you would get sun on your face. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks.

I apply the bronzer first in a 3 shaped stroke on both sides of my face. What I mean by that is this: I start the stroke around my temples, sweep down and around to the contour below my cheekbones, and back down and around to the jaw line. I then just do a very light sweep over my nose and forehead. I apply the blush to the apples of my cheeks with a quick fleck up the cheek bone. If I want a really dewy, shiny look, I'll lightly sweep over the bronzer with the blush.

I apply it on my cheeks and the outer edges of the forehead (sort of in a "C" motion around the eyes). Sounds strange, I know -- but this approach adds just a hint of bronzer in the areas where the sun would naturally hit your face. Then I add the blush in the apples of my cheeks. It comes out very natural looking.

Question
This or The Multiple Duo
Should I get this in orgasm/laguna or the multiple duo one in orgasm/south beach. (the multiple is a creme and can be used all on eyes, lips etc. But is it worth the extra $$?)

I would get the powder because it shows up more and lasts longer in my opinion. You can't use powder on your lips but you could use it on your eyes. The multiple feels weird and dry on your lips anyway so I don't think it's worth it.

While I understand the appeal of being able to use it on eyes and lips, I think that the cream texture is going to feel too heavy if you live somewhere that gets very hot or humid. If you are looking primarily for a blush, I would get the powder form.

I would go with the powder. I have used the blush on my eyes before too and it worked fine with my big brush and gave a little bit of color without being crazy pink.
But I have never found creme blush to look very natural on me.

Question
Blush looks different in the Orgasm/Laguna Duo picture
Is it just the picture? The single "Orgasm" blush looks different in the picture than it does in the duo picture (which looks darker and not very pretty). Is it just the picture? I don't want to buy the duo and be disappointed when it arrives and wish that I would have gotten the blush and bronzer singularly. Sorry if my ? seems dumb, I just don't want to be disappointed

The blush is extremely light on both sides. The picture is much darker than it really is. This blush is great as an accent to other blushes. A highlighter is what I'm using it for. Or the days that you just want a hint of color. It does have a shimmer to it. So if you do not want a frosted look, don't get it.

You may want to try the Hungry Heart duo. Its lighter and softer looking. I'm using it as a highlighter to my other blushes. I have blue eyes, red hair and very fair skin, but I do like some color on my cheeks.

I have fair skin with blue eyes and blonde hair and it works great for me. You just have to make sure that you use a very light hand and lightly apply a little at a time.

It will definitely work at night, but you have to be careful during the day because the highlighter in it can make us look a little like clowns, and it can go on dark. If you consider yourself decent with makeup application though, you will know what to do. I have gotten a ton of compliments from friends and family, this is great!

Hungry Heart for fair skin?
Has anyone with very fair skin tried the new "Hungry Heart" duo yet? I can't find it in store and would like to order it online, but I'm not sure if the colors would be flattering or would wash me out. I have red hair, gray eyes, and light skin (with freckles).

I just bought hungry heart today. I have light skin and I use both colors as highlighters on my cheek and brow bones and they look wonderful. Don't buy it if you don't like shimmer/glitter though because this has a lot of it.

I think Hungry Heart on it's own may be too light for anyone to use as blush. I have light skin and I can't detect the pink in it at all when I have it on. The sparkle is beautiful though and it works well layered with other blush.

I have not tried the new color you are asking but I have the duo in Orgasm and Laguna. I am a natural redhead with fair skin (freckles too!) but I have green eyes. I wear a tinted moisturizer on my face to give my skin some color and then apply this duo on top. This duo doesn't make me look too made up or like a clown. They are perfect shades for all skin types. Good luck with your search & I hope this helps a little!!
