Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Bronzer involves proper initial application, understanding how it integrates with your other makeup, and basic product care.
Initial Application Tips
- Skin Prep: For the smoothest application, ensure your skin is clean, moisturized, and primed. If using foundation or concealer, apply and blend those first.
- Brush Choice: The type of brush significantly impacts the finish. A fluffy brush provides a soft wash of color, while a denser, angled brush allows for more precise placement and contouring.
- Light Hand: Start with a small amount of product and build up slowly. It's easier to add more bronzer than to take it away.
Compatibility with Other Products
The Buttermelt Bronzer is a powder formula, making it generally compatible with most makeup routines.
- Over Liquid/Cream Products: If you use liquid foundation, cream blush, or liquid highlighter, apply these products first and allow them to set before applying the powder bronzer. This prevents patchiness and ensures smooth blending.
- With Powder Products: You can apply powder blush or highlighter either before or after your bronzer, depending on your desired effect. Applying bronzer first might give a more cohesive look, while applying blush/highlighter first might make the bronzer stand out more.
Product Care
Proper care helps maintain the quality and longevity of your bronzer.
- Storage: Keep the bronzer stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Close Lid: Always ensure the compact lid is securely closed after each use to prevent product drying out (though less critical for powder) and to protect it from dust and debris.
- Clean Brushes: Regularly clean your makeup brushes. Dirty brushes can transfer oils and old product onto the bronzer, affecting its performance and potentially harboring bacteria.
