I've been using Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Deep. Its a matte and its flawless. It doesn't turn orange on me nor does it break me out. I also discovered Too Faced Caribbean in a Compact-Sun Bunny which has a light shimmer(aka you don't look like a disco ball) and I've been totally in love with that one if not more than my Bobbi Brown compact. The most important thing is to make sure you have a great brush to apply bronzers because they can either make or break the look you are trying to achieve.
I have used foundation that is a shade range or so above my own. It doesn't have to be bronzer. I buy a concealer that is very tan and work with it. If I used MAC I would be NC25/30, so my concealer would be 42 to achieve tan.
Ive been thinking about stop using foundation, and just use a bronzer to make my skin more highlighted then just one tone, but i just can not find the right bronzer...Any suggestions??
If you're looking for a matte blush, Bobbi Brown is a great brand to check out as she personally believes that bronzer should be matte.
I myself love MAC's Bronzing Powder in Refined Deeper Bronze. The shimmer and deepness in colour leaves the skin incredibly glowy and super bronzed. It worked so well for me last summer but I'll be bringing it back out this summer for sure!
im Mexican so I have olive skin, and in summer well... I get a deeper color haha :) But I absolutly love Marks "Glodacious" illumiating powder. It dosnt break me out and it blends well with my tanned color :)
or you can always try Avons "glow bronzing powder" they have a really nice celection and if you dont likeit you CAN retrun it, even AFTER you have opned it and tryed it :) So you dont have much to loose :)
Thank you :) And i was thinking about Cover Girl Queen Colection, im going to also look into Bobbi Brown as well. Thanks for the suggestions. And yes matte.
Covergirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Bronzer Q120. I love it. I was so excited that I finally found a bronzer that caters to darker skin women in the drugstore. I order mines off Walmart.com because it $6.94
I am not sure is your looking for the bronzer to be used as a replacement for your foundation or as bronzer is normally used for. If as a replacement, try MFE matte bronzer in #40, nice tone, not too dark or too light, will give a medium-deep skintone a beautiful finish. If for the outskirts of the face, use one with a golden tint/shimmer like TooFaced bronzers. There are lots to pick from.Nars casino has a golden tint to it as well.
