Need recommendation for a bronzer

solitaregal — Thu, 24 Apr 2014 22:50:34 GMT

After buying three cc creams that I don't like thought I'd ask you guys what Bronzer you use. I've had several peels so my skin color has lightened. I'm blond and fair with freckles. Skin runs dry. My old pink Bobbie Brown blush doesn't do the trick anymore. Appreciate any suggestions. Hoping to get something that comes with a decent brush.

I bought the it cosmetics celebration foundation illumination in tan for a bronzer. I use the medium for my finishing powder. The tan looks great as a bronzer.

Guerlain makes the best bronzers. Powder compact and last a long, long time. And now, they have quite a few choices. They do not come with a brush.

I am fair and I use Bronze Goddess by Estee. They come in several colors from light to dark and they last forever. I am on my 3rd year I think. I can not go out in the sun so I do use this quite a bit in the summer.

I am LOVING Bare Minerals The Last Resort kit! It comes with a beautiful 3 color bronzer, gloss and a nice fan brush. Check it out. It is beautiful on my light complexion.

I use either blush from bare minerals called applause or another from everydayminerals.com

I liked that configuration and almost bought it. It looked great.

I did buy something similar: Urban Decay Naked "flushed". Has 3 divisions - bronzer, illuminator, blush. You can use each separately or swirl together.

For a brush I bought a Real Techniques (Ulta) - relatively inexpensive.

I've heard a lot of people rave about Paula's Choice bronzer - large compact with 2 matte shades. Brush sold separately.

I just bought IT's bronzer and illuminizer and it is wonderful! Not orange or too much. Just makes your skin look sun kissed!!

I love Paula's Choice matte bronzer. It is sheer so you can build up the intensity you want. I have light neutral skin and the color is very natural on me (not Orange looking).

I like one from Target by Pixie in the shade Subtly Suntouched. I am fair and this is a neutral pinky tan shade that goes on easily either all over or just on your cheeks and never looks muddy or orange or streaks. It's a powder with it's own little kabuki brush. You can feel free to just buff it on and head out the door! I think it cost about $20 and I consider it a hidden gem. I have a hard time with bronzers looking natural and this one gives me warmth without looking obvious on my face.

I like matte bronzers. Physicians Formula makes good bronzers for different skintones. I also like the lightest bronzer from The Body Shop, which works well for my fair skin.

If you want to spend more, Guerlain makes fantastic bronzers in various shades and they will fork for fair skin.

I almost bought that kit, but I wanted a matte bronzer. I liked the set and the brush. I think it's called The First Resort.

Thank you everyone!!! I ALMOST ordered the IT the other day, hesitated b/c although I love her mascara, the last two face products I ordered just didn't work for me. Blged, please let us know what you think of the IT once you get it. I like her brushes and it comes with one. Racerrn, thanks for posting about it. Read a lot of positives for bare minerals and I believe my daughter has it.
