I can't seem to find a bronzer that isn't overly shimmery, orangey, or too dark for my fair complexion. What do you guys suggest?

Perhaps try a darker blusher thats what I use, MAC do some great colours which are more peach in tone than brown, theyre great quality and look more natural on fairer skin :)
I talk about it in this video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjaBj31L4OA

You probably have a cool toned face, so try contouring with your blush, and if you really want a bit of a bronzy glow, I recommend waikiki strip by Physician's Formula. I use that, and I have fair skin as well.
Either that, or try for Loreal's truematch powders for cooltoned darker skin. Maybe C4-C6.

the NYX blush in taupe is great for a bronzer for pale skin. And it's matte! their blush is sand is also nice, but it's slightly more orange, and has a bit of shimmer to it. But it's still nice. :D

I have fair skin and I use the NYC bronzer in sunny for a matte finish and for a little more shimmer I use e.l.f.'s bronzer in sun kissed (I would use this one over the NYC one because it doesnt make you look so tan but you can definately see a difference)

I don't know what price point you're looking at but Guerlain does some nice ones for fair skin in their Terracotta Bronzing Powder. Also, NARS Laguna is usually a hit with fair ladies - its one of my personal favorites. NYC Sunny is a good drugstore option, its not orangey and the color can be built up.

I've had this problem for years, until I finally found the perfect bronzer. The one I use is Too Faced Peach Leporad Bronzer. It's a little on the pricy side, at $30.00, but is well worth every penny of it. There are some shimmers in it, but are very subtle, and you can't see them on the face. If your looking for a completely matte finish bronzer, I would go for the Tart Amazonian Clay Bronzer. I've herd really great thing about that one. Plus, that one is waterproof! Great for the summer!!:))

I've been using NYC Sunny and love it! I'm very fair (I have to use the lightest shade of most foundations and sometimes those are still too dark) but using a little bit of Sunny with a fluffy brush gives me a nice glow to my skin. It's matte and $3 , you can't get better then that!

I'm very pale and I've had that same problem. But I have some great ones now. There is Estee Lauder's Bronze Godess Soft Matte Bronzer. It's matte, but definently not chalky like some can be. Very natural but very buildable and bronzing. Theres also Smashbox Bronzelights.. Smashbox has incredible face products and I love the bronzers they have.

I have fair skin and, so far, the only bronzer I've found that suits me is N.Y.C.'s Bronzer in Sunny. It applies lightly, yet is buildable, so it's easy to achieve your desired level of bronze. It's also extremely affordable and available at most drugstores.

Best bronzer I've ever used. 33 dollars though... It is worth it👏

I love Tarte's Park Avenue Princess. It has some sheen to it. I was weary about bronzer since I'm so hair, but I've been loving it. It gives a nice soft contour.

NARS Laguna or Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Milk Chocolate Bronzer. NARS Laguna is seriously a godsend, I'm super pale (especially in the winter), and it doesn't make me look orange or muddy at all. I have to use a really light hand and build it up some to make sure I don't look nuts, but once I have it done it looks absolutely beautiful.
