Winter bronzers for the perennially pale

9 replies

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 15/10/2018 08:54

Morning

Am away to retire my overly twinkly and now “too glowy” Boots WOW bronzer and my (good) Collection “Bronze Glow” as they just look now too much on my skin.

Can anyone recommend a bronzer that will make me look “warm” and give light even colour without making me as glittery as Ziggy Stardust at a princess party?

TIA

I use a matt Bobbi Brown one. Can't remember the shade but it gives me a bit of life during the winter.

I don't pile it on, just a sweep over the cheekbones and forehead.

I think that’s what I need; something that will add warmth with one sweep only; something I find ones I’ve tried don’t really seem to do and go from 0-oompaloompa in one second.

I like Guerlains bronzers - they come in different shades and with and without shimmer.

There's also the Benefit Hoola Light if you find that the classic Benefit Hoola bronzer is too dark.

I’m quite pale (NC15 in MAC), I use loads of different bronzers, I always get the lightest shade but what I always do is tap the brush onto my hand after I’ve put bronzer on it so a lot of the product comes off, then sweep it over my face. If I need to apply more bronzer, I go back to the bronzer which is on my hand and tap the brush onto that. I’ve seen loads of makeup artists doing that so I just copied them x

Too Faced Milk Chocolate is great for pale skin

Just checked and I have shade number 1 - natural.
Not orange at all.

I also use their pot rouge in pale pink (it's actually a bright pink) but when I apply it sparingly with a brush it gives me a bit more life.

By Terry tea to tan I think it's called. Buildable and very natural. Just don't shake it, that way the sparkle stays at the bottom.
