On Oh My Cream's shelves, online or in boutiques, you'll find a wide selection of bronzing powders, designed for every skin tone and every desire for a warm, tanned complexion, whatever the month of the year. Whether they offer a subtle matte finish, a light golden veil or discreet contouring, our sun powders awaken your skin's natural radiance every day. And for an even complexion without overload, discover our selection of powder foundations. Their light, adjustable texture smoothes skin texture, blurs imperfections and matifies naturally, while respecting the skin's balance. Combined with a bronzing powder, they create the perfect base for a fresh, luminous complexion, from morning to night. Add a touch of powder blush on the cheekbones to bring freshness and vitality, and reveal a radiant, luminous "healthy glow" complexion. Powder foundation, bronzer and blush: the essential trio to slip into your make-up bag for a simple, natural and luminous beauty look, in just a few gestures.

Why choose a bronzing powder?

If bronzing powder is a product seduced by its practicality, it's also renowned for its ability to instantly warm up the face. Unlike the effects of the sun, self-tanners or liquid textures that can be difficult to work with, bronzing powder delivers rapid, controlled results. Able to adapt to all skin types, it makes it easy to adapt complexion make-up, from the most discreet to the most structured. And what we particularly like about sun powder is that it illuminates the complexion, even on days that lack light.  

At Oh My Cream, we tend to favor light textures that merge with the skin without ever marking the relief, for an even, natural-looking finish. It's no coincidence, then, that many people choose bronzing powder to give their skin a fresh look, or to lightly sculpt features using the contouring technique.

How do I apply my bronzer?

Applying a powder bronzer may seem simple, but a few precise gestures make all the difference. Choose a wide, soft, slightly tapered brush to avoid demarcation. The key? Take a small amount of product and modulate the intensity according to the desired result, insisting on strategic areas of the face.

The classic "3" gesture sweeps across the forehead, cheekbones and jawline to naturally warm contours, enhance facial volumes and add natural radiance. For a luminous, matte finish, superimpose thin layers rather than applying the product all at once. The bronzer then becomes a true ally for a subtly sculpted radiance.

Which areas of the face to target?

For an immediate healthy-glow effect, simply target the bulging parts of the face that usually catch the sunlight. These areas include the top of the forehead, the bridge of the nose, the cheekbones and the chin. This method avoids the mask effect and enhances features without artifice. 

Those who wish to try contouring with their bronzing powder can also enhance the hollows of the cheeks or draw a sharper line around the temples. Perfect for enhancing everyday make-up. 

Which tools are best for application?

The brush makes all the difference. At Oh My Cream, we recommend a broad, supple powder brush, capable of diffusing the material gently and without streaking. To sculpt certain areas of the face with precision, a slightly beveled brush is your best ally. Tap the brush before application for a light, adjustable and perfectly natural finish.

Which sun powder texture to choose?

The texture of the bronzer changes everything, both in terms of look and comfort. A light formula melts in like a second skin for a natural,subtle glow, while a creamy texture modulates intensity and delivers a luminous finish, especially on dry skin. The velvety texture combines comfort and hold, ideal for gradual, sculpted make-up. The secret? Choose the formula that matches your skin type and the result you want to create.

Light or compact texture: what's the difference?

Easy to carry, the compact powder allows quick touch-ups at any time. 

Often more pigmented, it requires light application, especially for beginners. Loose powder, on the other hand, offers a diffused, natural finish, ideal for a delicate matte finish. 

Long-lasting hold and all-day comfort

There's nothing more frustrating than a bronzing powder that fades before the end of the day. This is why staying power is an essential criterion: a sun powder must warm up the complexion for a long time, without feeling tight or greasy. The most advanced long-lasting formulas offer both comfort and radiance, while preserving the skin's freshness. Enriched with skincare ingredients, some powders go even further: they nourish and protect, leaving the complexion soft and luminous, even after several touch-ups.

Achieve a natural, luminous tanned complexion

A successful tanned complexion relies on a few simple gestures and a well-chosen bronzing powder. Focus on transparency, choose a shade close to your skin tone and diffuse the powder with finesse: simple gestures for a successful tanned complexion. The aim: to enhance features without masking them, for a natural, luminous glow. Highlighting a few golden or caramelized highlights where the sun naturally touches is enough to awaken make-up, even indoors.

• Choose the right shade: a hue close to your skin tone for a subtle, harmonious effect.

• Apply lightly: it's better to superimpose thin layers than to apply too much in a single gesture.

• Apply bronzing powder transparently: sweep over areas where the sun naturally shines (forehead, cheekbones, bridge of nose, jawline).

• Adapt the texture: light for an airy second-skin finish, velvety for greater comfort and hold.

• Slip a compact powder into your bag: for an easy touch-up and to keep your radiance until the evening.

• Sculpt sparingly: subtle contouring is enough to redefine volumes while remaining natural.

Adopt the Oh My Cream bronzing powder routine

The use of sun powder depends on the time of day and the occasion. In the morning, a few light strokes are all it takes to awaken a sleepy complexion and revive the skin's natural radiance. In the evening, it can be subtly intensified to accompany more elaborate make-up, without risking excess.

Bronzing powder also pairs perfectly with other complexion essentials: a cream blush for a healthy glow, a discreet highlighter to catch the light, or a light foundation for a harmonious finish. It's all a question of balance, to highlight the volumes and uniqueness of every face, whatever the season.

Make bronzer part of a clean skin ritual

At Oh My Cream, beauty is never complete without skincare. The bronzing powders in our selection are chosen for their dual promise: to sublimate the complexion while respecting the epidermis. Enriched with active ingredients that respect the epidermis and formulated without superfluous ingredients, they offer luminous, comfortable make-up, even for sensitive skin. Because taking care of your skin also starts with the products you apply every day, we select only formulas that combine effectiveness and naturalness.

A few tips for a beautiful finish

For a natural finish, always blend bronzing powder with a clean brush to avoid demarcation. Contours can be subtly blurred with a dampened sponge for a blended effect, as if after a few days in the sun. Adjust the intensity to suit your mood: from a discreet tan to a more assertive result, each gesture builds a made-to-measure glow. And don't forget to harmonize the shade of your bronzer with that of your neck and décolleté, for an even, flawless finish. Over time, these gestures become reflexes, revealing a naturally luminous tan, true to the Oh My Cream philosophy.
