"Always tap excess pigment off your brush before applying it to your face," suggests Taylor. "Bronzers are sometimes formulated to be more lightweight than blush, so extra color is being picked up with the same gentle dusting. I always push the color into the hairs of the brush by smashing it on my hand or on the compact's mirror. Never go straight from the product to your face in order to avoid an overly heavy application."
