☀️ Bronzer to give pale skin a sunkissed glow?

Jul 4, 2016

I'm in desperate need of a new bronzer!

I've been using the bronze shade of the Charlottle Tilbury bronze and glow for ages and have hit pan. I just can't justify the price of a repurchase as I don't really like the highlighter all that much.

I'm looking for a bronzer to give my pale skin (Mac NC15ish at the moment) a sunkissed glow. I don't want a bronzer to contour I want it to actually bronze. I don't mind matte or a subtle shimmer.

Any suggestions?

I don't have a budget really. High end or drugstore are great!

I'm also looking for powder rather than cream/ liquid. I have the Loreal Bronze cushion which I love but it's a lot of work to look natural so I want something I can powder and go.

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze light= Gorgeous.

In my opinion, this bronzer gives pale skin a beautiful, and quite natural looking sun touched glow without looking the least bit muddy. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that isn't altogether fond of the Charlotte Tilbury highlighter in the Bronze and Glow palette.  ;)

Thanks Jacqueline! I'll look into it and look at some swatches online!

And the highlighter's nice it's just so bright!! It's so easy to go heavy on it.

Oh no, your poor Charlotte Tilbury! I'm dreading the day when I hit pan on my bronzer. I am not a huge fan of the highlighter, it's too golden yellow for my pale skin. Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil is nice, but it's not my favorite. You could still check it out though!

I love Too Faced Chocolate Soleil. Like Jamie said, they do make a milk chocolate shade for lighter skin tones! I also really like Too Faced Sun Bunny and Benefit Hoola! Sun Bunny is my favorite, as I like more of a glowy bronzer. I would recommend any Too Faced bronzer, all of the ones I've tried have been great!

I'm with Jacqueline, I'm so in love with the hourglass bronzer. It looks so natural and gives my very fair Scandinavian skin the perfect sun kissed glow!

I'm super pale too! I'm a nw10 in Mac. I really like the ambient lighting palette from hourglass and the milk chocolate soleil from too faced! Both are great and aren't too orangey

I have the bronzer that Jacqueline H mentioned and I've extremely fair. It is beautiful. It looks quite shimmery in the pan but looks natural on am skin. And she's correct its a great color not too orange/red just natural tan

Over the winter I was in the shade NC15 & couldn't find a cool enough bronzer that didn't look muddy. I tried Mac bronzer in Golden & LOVE it, it has very subtle shimmer so it gives my skin a pretty glow & very natural color :) It's also extremely buildable so no streaky or muddy application & 26$. I've also used it everyday since November & still have over half the product left. I'm also semi tan right now & can still use it

Milani XL bronzer, it's matte but it comes with a highlighting shimmer next to it that you can add.
