If you’re anything like us, you probably have your daily makeup routine down to a science, but have you ever considered switching up your steps for fun? This could mean applying your cream-based bronzer before your foundation, a trend that’s not-so-quietly dominating our social media feeds.New York City-based makeup artist Kasey Spickard is one of many advocates of the bronzer-first trend, noting it's a great way to achieve a sun-kissed look sans *actual* sun. And there's a word for it: underpainting. "We've seen the trend for years with the likes of Scott Barnes pioneering this idea of bronzing, contouring, blushing and highlighting underneath your foundation." That said, it’s time to give the trend a try.The pro says that the key to perfecting an underpainted bronzer look is to "apply a generous amount of product where you typically get tanned by the sun. "So, the forehead, nose bridge, tops of cheekbones and temples and chin." Two of our favorite products that get the job done seamlessly are the NYX Professional Makeup Wonder Contour Stick and the Giorgio Armani Beauty Neo Nude Bronzer.  Want to give it a try? Ahead, Spickard explains how to apply bronzer under foundation and also answers all of your pressing bronzer questions.
