Back to beauty school: Bronzers for winter

A golden glow in winter can be a beautiful thing. But the trick here is restraint and a masterful hand. You'll need a lighter colour than for summer - it's about enhancing with warmth, not overpowering with tan. A good rule to start with is using a kabuki brush to dust an "E" shape on both sides of the face, start on the hairline, along the hollows of your cheeks, then along and under the jawline.

DO: only go one shade darker than your complexion.

DON'T: use all over the face, this is the road to overbaked ruin.
