I'm fair skinned and just want a hint of something not that general orange glow just a healthy tinge!

guerlain - in light with no sparkly bits. It's great

TheHappyCat · 17/02/2010 21:52

I really like the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in bronze. Am fair myself but it is a lovely combo of colours and not too much. I also used to quite like the Nars Laguna (I think - the lighter of the two bronzers) which is a more trad bronzer.

ojhh thanks both will have a look now, looked on guerlain (use quite a lot of their skin care but never used makeup) and found this what the hell is it for?!

The bobbi brown one looks very dark? Does it blend well?

yes you just swirl the brush around and it distributes evenly. it is 5 stripes from white to dark. I am fair skinned but dark haired and the lady on the counter recommended that or the 'pink' but went for that as I do need a bit of colour. v pleased but that's on me!

Laura Geller stuff always looks good on QVC

I have blonde hair with dark eyes and my skin has a more yellow base. Think I will venture into town and test them out.

Guerlain meteorites is brilliant

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 17/02/2010 22:16

I love No7 called something like 'perfect'. It;s not a bronzer per se just a cream blush

navyeyelasH · 17/02/2010 23:04

ohh that's two of you for guerlain, do I just get the lightest shade?

laguna

Walnut8 · 18/02/2010 10:52

Agree that NARS Laguna is the best. I'm a pale blonde, wear it all year round (just don't go overboard in winter)

tulpe · 18/02/2010 11:59

I like the look of the NARS bronzer.

Do you ladies use blusher as well as bronzer?

frakkinaround · 18/02/2010 12:02

I use Laura Mercier's and am blonde but slightly tanned. Not sure how it would look on v pale skin.

MustyOdour · 18/02/2010 12:02

those 2 birds that do the good make up tutorials usually use both

navyeyelasH · 18/02/2010 12:05

ohh musty what 2 birds??

Benefit have some nice ones - I use Dallas for a healthy outdoorsy glow

MustyOdour · 18/02/2010 12:46

navy this is the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon.

they are 2 make up artist sisters, this one is the best one, her sister is a bit funny and does VERY ott make up.

But still soothing to watch...

Tis cyb btw, trying on a new name for size

MustyOdour · 18/02/2010 12:52

Of course in that particular clip I dont think she wears both. But they often do

navyeyelasH · 18/02/2010 13:52

ohh thanks musty will have a nose!

OP posts:
navyeyelasH · 18/02/2010 14:01

Oh god, I need everything she just used! Musty what have you got me into?!?!

MustyOdour · 18/02/2010 14:03

I know, is totally addictive.

I love the all in one foundation thingy with the concealer at the end AND the weird but fantastic bright orange gloss which looked FAB on her

Bear in mind though, she is completely gorgeous with flawless skin (not assuming you aren't but you get my drift)

navyeyelasH · 18/02/2010 14:55

I just bought that concealer thing and I'm trying to get the folourn oragne thingy - love it! Prob will look pants on me, my skin is quite good but my colouring is the complete opposite!
