If you have similar colouring to me which bronzer and blusher suits you?

I'm looking for new makeup & there's SO much choice it's hard to know where to start.

Thanks!

I have similar colouring as you- corals work well for me. Current one is Boots no7 Apricot Blossom (has been for about 5 years actually as it does everything I need!)

My skin is pale but it has warm undertones.

Bronzer- Ekin Su's BPerfect in medium, find that just a tiny bit of it over the top or mixed in with my foundation/just moisturiser is spot on for that lovely glowy summer feeling.

(I also love her Radiant Blush in shade Conspiracy, it's v similar to the boots one above but it just doesn't last on my skin, boo)

What are your go-to's? Sort of looking for a shake up here too!

An apricot colour. No7 Matte Powder Blusher 3g - apricot blossom
Bronzer - a light one that's not too brown or sparkly
No7 Matte Bronzing Powder 10g - Sun Kissed

Depends on whether your skin tone is warm or cool, and more pinky-white or yellow.

Mine is actually yellow and cool-toned (copper/gold hair not orange/auburn) so traditional bronzer just makes my face look grubby 😳

Rose pinks look best on me.

Thanks for the suggestions

I'm def cool toned - v white witb blue undertones

Benefit - Benetint suits me great.

Don’t do peachy or coral on cool toned skin. I love Benefit’s Dandelion powder as well as Benetint.

Dandelion doesn't work for me. I'm pale but warm-toned.

For blush, cool soft rose territory, think muted dusty rose or a light soft coral with a cool lean rather warm/orange-toned (which tends to clash with red hair). A cool-toned or taupe-based bronzer used very lightly just to add subtle dimension. Your green eyes actually do really well with any hint of rose on the cheeks because those tones naturally bring out the green!

I’m similar to you and did a Mac appointment.. they chose the ‘sweet enough’ blusher for me

CraftyNavySeal · 25/03/2026 16:18

Pixie Bronzer stick warm glow. It’s a pinky bronzer

I’m pale and cool toned and it’s perfect on me ☺️

I was disappointed because I loved the colour and the packaging. I wanted to buy it but it didn't suit me. Sad

I agree that Benefit's Dandelion would be good if you're cool-toned. It's really lovely but no good for me as I'm warm-toned (albeit very fair).
