Now that we’re all slathering on SPF every day (ahem), we have to resort to other methods of getting a sun-kissed glow. For this, bronzer is a girl’s best friend. It’s a cheap and easy way to get healthy color (even when you’re spending all day under fluorescent lighting), and the way it’s applied can enhance or correct your natural bone structure. Physician’s Formula’s celebrity make-up artist, Joanna Schlip, offers these tips:

Wide faces: Draw your bronzer down diagnoally from your ear to your chin for a slimming effect.

Long faces: Swipe bronzer across your forehead and chin horizontally to draw attention away from length.

Double chins: Apply the bronzer right below your jawbone to minimize a double chin.
