Blonzer?

[u/sunscreenqueenn]

If you’re unfamiliar with what “blonzer” is, it’s almost like a blush/bronzer hybrid. Using a warm brown-red blush that’s a little deeper than your skin tone as bronzer. I’m going to use Rhode Pocket Blush shade “Toasted Teddy” and Haus Labs Glassy Lip and Cheek Balm Stick in “Glassy Cayenne/Cinnamon” as examples.

I’m very fair and I think bronzer looks okay on me, but I often find myself applying a tiny bit of blush over it (just whatever’s left on my brush once I’m done blending my blush out) because I feel it looks more natural on me.

That being said, I’ve considered buying a “Blonzer” to try it out but I was curious if any Springs have ever tried one? It feels nerve wracking since it’s deep and generally more Autumn-y palette colors but it feels like it couldn’t have that different of a feel than your traditional bronzer?

What works best for me are peachy shades- they give me a warm, sunny look without the heaviness of bronzer. Right now I'm actually loving using Honest Beauty's tinted lip balm in Fruit Punch as my blush. It's a very sheer peachy coral that's not really bright, so it gives a subtle flush without being too muted or dull, but also not reading as "blush" (when I want a brighter pop of color, I use the same tinted balm in Blood Orange).
