Good bronzer for pale skin

I don't want to look tanned, and certainly don't want to look orange, just a bit more glowy and less ghostly! Budget options gratefully received but would spend up to £20 for a really good one. Thanks

I can think of 2 really good ones but unhelpfully they are both over £20 - is there any wiggle room in your budget? If so, NARS Laguna and Hoola from benefit both lovely.

I'm ridiculously pale - 01 Fair in the new BareMinerals foundation, and I find Bourjois Delice de Poudre bronzer in 51 to be perfect for me Smile around 7.99 I think!

I'm quite fair and I agree Hoola from Benefit is good. It's the one I use. I also like the high beam they do as well.

Look fantastic sometimes have good deals. Maybe have a look on there? They have an 18% discount at the moment.

Random hijack as I'm sure someone will come along and recommend the Aerin bronzer, but are they still being sold in the UK? I'm having a hard time finding one in stock and the Estee Lauder website only seems to have the Aerin fragrances now.

Is it this one botemp? www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/aerin-bronze-illuminating-powder_471-81004877-YA02001/

Currently out of stock on the Selfridges website but I can have a look around elsewhere if that's the one.

I am fair and the Bourjois one that looks like a chocolate bar is a nice budget option for me, but I prefer the Hourglass light one, which is considerably more expensive, but so lovely.

That's the one, Nabootique, I think level I but it's been out of stock there forever and seems to have disappeared from net-a-porter altogether.

I found it sold out everywhere, including the US, and removed from the UK website. They did have some make up on there. I think they might be discontinuing it Sad Found it for £184 on Amazon Shock

Too Faced Milk Chocolate, love it for pale skin.

Amazon Shock! I might just snap up a weekend palette on n-a-p then that at least has a mini bronzer in there. I'll be miserable if they're discontinuing the whole makeup line, I'm hitting pan on the multi color for lips & cheeks which is the only thing that makes me not look dead in winter Sad.

I really like The Body Shops (only thing I regularly buy from there). It's also matte which I prefer

I'm very pale and use Benefit Dallas. It's great.

Noooooo, they can't discontinue the Aerin one!

Another pretty good one for the pale is Body Shop Honey Bronze powder, it comes in a fairly light shade.

Thanks all, think will give the Body Shop a go, have heard very good things about their make up

Chanel Les Beiges is gorgeous if you're able to spend a bit more.
