What Do Bronzing Drops Do?
Bronzing drops are a versatile liquid makeup product designed to add a sun-kissed glow to your complexion. These concentrated pigment drops can be used in multiple ways to achieve a bronzed look. Typically, you can mix a few drops with your foundation, moisturizer, or primer to create a custom tinted base with a warm, golden undertone. Alternatively, you can apply them directly to your skin as a liquid bronzer, blending them into areas where the sun naturally hits your face, such as the cheekbones, forehead, and bridge of the nose. Bronzing drops offer buildable color, allowing you to control the intensity of your tan, and they often contain nourishing ingredients that benefit the skin. This product is perfect for those who want to achieve a natural-looking, radiant glow without sun exposure, and it's especially useful for customizing your makeup routine throughout the year as your skin tone changes.
Are Bronzing Drops the Same as Self Tanner?
Bronzing drops and self-tanner are not the same, although they both aim to give the skin a sun-kissed appearance. Bronzing drops are a makeup product designed for temporary color that washes off at the end of the day. They're typically added to moisturizer or foundation for an instant glow, or applied directly to the skin for targeted bronzing. Self-tanner, on the other hand, contains ingredients like DHA that react with amino acids in your skin to produce a longer-lasting color change that develops over several hours and can last for days.
What is the Difference Between Bronzing Drops and Tinted Moisturizer?
Bronzing drops and tinted moisturizer are both makeup products that add color to the skin, but they differ in their primary functions and application methods. Bronzing drops are a concentrated liquid pigment designed to add a sun-kissed glow and can be mixed with other products or applied directly to the skin for targeted bronzing. Tinted moisturizer, on the other hand, is a lightweight foundation alternative that provides hydration along with sheer coverage to help even out skin tone. It typically is applied all over the face for a natural-looking, barely-there makeup look.
Do You Put Bronzing Drops on Before or After Foundation?
Bronzing drops can be used both before and after foundation, depending on the desired effect and personal preference. When applied before foundation, you can mix a few drops with your moisturizer or primer to create an all-over glow that shows through your foundation. This method provides a subtle, natural-looking warmth to the skin. Alternatively, you can apply bronzing drops after foundation for more targeted bronzing and contouring. In this case, you would apply the drops to specific areas of the face, such as the cheekbones, temples, and jawline, and blend well for a sun-kissed look. Some people may even choose to use bronzing drops both before and after foundation for a more intense bronzed effect.
How Do I Use Bronzing Drops?
Bronzing drops are a versatile makeup product that can be used in several ways to achieve a sun-kissed glow. To use bronzing drops, start by shaking the bottle well to ensure the product is properly mixed. For an all-over glow, mix a few drops with your moisturizer or foundation before applying to your face. For targeted bronzing, apply a small amount directly to areas where the sun naturally hits, such as cheekbones, forehead, and bridge of the nose, then blend well with your fingers or a makeup sponge. You can also add a drop or two to your body lotion for a subtle shimmer on your shoulders and décolletage. Remember, bronzing drops are highly pigmented, so start with a small amount and build up gradually to achieve your desired level of bronze. Experiment with different application methods to find what works best for your skin tone and desired look.
Can You Mix Bronzing Drops with Any Moisturizer?
Bronzing drops offer great versatility in your skincare and makeup routine, as they can be mixed with virtually any moisturizer to create a custom, glowing complexion. While you have the freedom to choose your preferred moisturizer, we highly recommend pairing bronzing drops with the e.l.f. Cosmetics Holy Hydration Face Cream. This combination is particularly effective because the Holy Hydration Face Cream provides an excellent base with its rich, nourishing formula that helps hydrate and plump the appearance of skin. When mixed with bronzing drops, it creates a luminous, sun-kissed effect while maintaining optimal skin hydration. The cream's lightweight texture allows for easy blending with the bronzing drops, ensuring a smooth and even application. This pairing not only imparts a beautiful glow but also nourishes your skin, making it an ideal choice for those seeking both cosmetic enhancement and skincare benefits in one step.
How Much Product Should I Use When Using Bronzing Drops?
When using bronzing drops, it's important to start with a small amount and build up gradually to achieve your desired level of glow. Typically, 1-3 drops are sufficient for the entire face, depending on the product's concentration and your preferred intensity. For mixing with moisturizer or foundation, begin with one drop and add more if needed. When applying directly to the skin for targeted bronzing, use even less - about half a drop for each area. Remember that bronzing drops are highly pigmented, so it's easier to add more than to remove excess. Always shake the bottle well before use to ensure even distribution of the pigment. As you become more familiar with the product, you'll be able to gauge the right amount for your skin tone and desired effect.
Do I Need to Use Sunscreen With Bronzing Drops?
It's crucial to remember that bronzing drops do not provide sun protection, and their use should never replace sunscreen in your skincare routine. While bronzing drops can give you a beautiful sun-kissed glow, they don't shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an appropriate SPF before using bronzing drops or any other makeup products. For best results, layer your skincare in this order: cleanse, moisturize, apply sunscreen, and then use bronzing drops either mixed with additional moisturizer or applied directly to the skin. This approach ensures that you achieve the desired bronzed look while still helping to protect your skin from sun damage, premature aging, and other harmful effects of UV exposure. Remember to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours.

It’s alright
It gives a glow to the skin slightly tinted to give a bronzed affect. Personally I don’t see the difference in using a darker halo glow shade than your natural shade for a bigger bottle for 2 dollars more

Worth it
Watery texture and helps to add life to a no makeup look. If you need a quick “wake up” product this would be great. It’s worth the purchase and would recommend for the price

Summer Must
The e.l.f. Bronzing Drops are a total hit! They blend effortlessly into the skin, giving a beautiful, natural-looking tan without any orange tones. The formula is lightweight and buildable, so you can customize the depth of the bronze. It adds a gorgeous glow that lasts all day, and I love that it's easy to mix with foundation or use on its own. Plus, it's super affordable for the quality! Definitely a new favorite.

Bronzing drops provide a temporary bronzed glow once applied and should be removed at the end of a day with a cleansing balm or oil.

Are the bronzing drops non-comedogenic?
the elf team

e.l.f. strives to select ingredients that are gentle on the skin. While our goal is to create gentle products, everyone is different and some may experience sensitivity to an ingredient or a combination of an ingredient and outside factors. Because we cannot predict how everyone may react, we do not claim that our cosmetics products are entirely non-comedogenic.
