First look in to the different brands of bronzers that are available in the market. You will find a huge selection of various products with different prices. There are many mainstream and some exclusive designer type bronzers that are also available. Be sure that you get a bronzer that is suitable for you skin as well as your wallet. Most department stores have salespeople that are knowledgeable of bronzer, so be sure to ask questions if you need help deciding which type or brand of bronzer is right for you.

Swirl a rounded top wide, powder brush across the surface of the bronzer, tapping off any extra powder from your brush. Take your time while doing this so that you get a nice smooth layer of powder on the brush.
Note: If using loose powder, dip your brush into the container. -

Starting from your cheekbones, apply the bronzer just like you would blush. Apply the bronzing powder in clockwise direction, starting from the centre of your cheeks and then applying it towards the ends. Try to put on an even coat and make sure it is spread evenly. Try not to overdo it as you do not want to look funny with a massive amount of bronzer on your face.

If you have a dry skin, then go for a cream bronzer, but make sure that you exfoliate your skin before applying the bronzer. After exfoliating your skin, apply it using a sponge or tips of your fingers. Blend it well into your skin until you get a natural look. Apply the cream bronzer to other areas as well, just like a powder bronzer is used, but not too heavily. The purpose of applying a bronzer is to tan the complexion of skin finely, so you should choose the one that suits your skin tone.
