The goal is to look bronzed, not muddy. In theory, bronzers are a great invention. They’re perfect if you’re looking to add some color to your pale complexion, but don’t want to try fake tan and end up looking like an orange Oompa Loompa. Plus, if you make a mistake, you can just wash bronzer off. Unfortunately, bronzing mishaps can be a common occurrence. Too much product, or a dab in the wrong spot, and you can wind up looking like you rolled around in the dirt–which is no better than being stained pumpkin orange from self tan.
