I know it can be difficult to forgo bronzer as summer fades to fall and fall to winter. But, once the sun goes away so does my natural glow. I have been wearing sunscreen on my face everyday for the past 10 years ... so you can imagine that im pretty pasty. What i like to do to add depth to my face is to layer 2 blushes. This gives the illusion of more color, but not the fake and bake look of bronzer. This works great for work and daytime .... I still bust out the bronzer at night : )
I like to pick a darker shade to put on first, like Orgasm by Nars, it gives a peachy tone and a slight shimmer. I sweep this on my cheekbones to the hairline and then down the bridge of my nose. Then to highlight I use a light pink with some sparkles, like Shy Beauty by MAC (this may be discontined...boo...but any light pink will work). I sweep this on the apples of my checks and on my temples. This gives a nice highlighting effect and adds some contrasting color without going over the top.
Everyone should definitely give this a try in the winter as an alternative to bronzer. Any dark and light color blush combo will work.
