I am privy to a vast amount of make-up and beauty tips courtesy of celebrity make-up artist Sam Fine. He has been the inspiration for me to try bronzer. I grouped bronzer in the same group as blush—not for brown girls. But thanks to Mr. Fine and his tips, I am confident in wearing both bronzer and blush. The bronzer that I have found to be easiest to work with is CoverGirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Bronzer. The bronzer comes in three subtle shimmery shades. According to Mr. Fine, you should choose a bronzer that is slightly darker than your skin tone to add dimension to your face. I like the shade Brown Bronze. You don’t have to limit the use of bronzer to the perimeter of your face. A swipe across the décolleté, shoulders and arms will give you a beautiful subtle glow fit for a Queen. A CoverGirl Queen, that is.
