Really pale, non orange bronzing powder

Does such a thing exist? I would love just the tiniest, barely noticeable, hint of bronze. But I'm pale so I find everything looks too orange toned. I know it exists because I had my makeup done professionally for an event and she used a bronzer that was perfect. Unfortunately I forgot to ask what it was and by the time I remembered she would hardly have remembered what shade she used on me.

Has anyone found such a thing?

Benefit hoola lite is great for very pale skin tones

Kosas make a fantastic bronzer that is really natural and impossible to overdo. I’m Mac NC20 and use Light, can’t recommend highly enough www.cultbeauty.co.uk/kosas-the-sun-show-moisturizing-baked-bronzer/13319333.html

I asked this on here earlier this year and was recommend to try Palmers in the lightest shade. It's absolutely lovely. Will link.

Charlotte Tilbury airbrush bronzer in fair. Not a hint of orange and great to give your skin a little lift

I second this. I’m pale but this one only works for me in the winter as it’s very light, no hint of orange whatsoever.

I have Revolution sculpting bronzer in Bahia-I think it was maybe recommended on here. It’s matte rather than sparkly which I like as I can put it all over my face in the summer. I am the palest of pale (pink undertone) and I really like it.

I’ve just bought this autograph bronzer in light. It’s the first ever bronzer I’ve bought (I’m in my 40s) as I’ve always been too scared. It’s so light it’s only a a couple of shades darker than my regular powder but it seems to take the wan-ness away without looking tanned. It’s so light I was initially worried it wouldn’t make any difference. Maybe it doesn’t! Grin but I certainly can’t see any orange ness.

My only comment is the powder is very soft so a lot of ‘particles’ come away when I use my brush.

But so far I’m very pleased.

Bourjois bronzing powder comes in a huge package and matches well with my pale skin.

ShirleyPhallus · 08/11/2021 14:59

I’d actually skip the bronzer and use a very light fake tan - tan drops from tan luxe are brilliant

I'm a classic Celt with skin so white it looks blue I use Hoola Lite which gives me a nice glow but doesn't turn me orange.

I use this too and it's great. I'm really pale.

Agree Chanel les beiges cream bronzer is amazing and lasts for ages.
