Recommend a Bronzer

Salty

Hi everyone!

My bronzer is almost completely gone so I'm in the market for a new one. The bronzer I was using was by MAC and it was a gift, and tbh I don't think I'll be running to buy another one because I find them a bit too expensive for my student budget.

I was hoping some of you would have products you could recommend to me. I am pale enough so I prefer light coloured bronzers, with no shimmer/glitter whatsoever that won't break the bank.

Thanks in advance!:)

I like the H and M bronzer, it's matte but not very light, it does blend very well though. The bourjois bronzer is lovely too, it comes in two shades

Thanks!:) I was reading reviews online about the Bourjois bronzer with the intention to buy it, but a lot of them highlighted an issue whereby the bronzer hardens or "seals" itself after a short period of use, so brushes won't pick up any colour. Pity, because they all reported that every other aspect of it was great!

Might consider the H&M one though.

It does do that, it's quite annoying. If you get one of those disposable mascara wands you can gently scrap off the top layer, I've done this with loads if powders that have done that!

I'd recommend Gosh Bronzer, it's around € 20 but the compact is HUGE and lasts for a long time. It's a light bronzer so good for pale skin. The one I get has a shimmer in it but I think they do a matte version also.

I'm pale as well, so I use one of these (I can't remember which shade, few up from the palest) and get compliments on it

nice and cheap too

That's a great tip!

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone, I find bronzers can be hit and miss so opinions are always great!:)

Ive been using the bourjois chocolate bronzer for a while. The palest colour is good for fair skin but honestly I think it leans a little orange so while I'm going to use it up, I wouldn't rush out to buy s new one. I'd also used a face powder thst was a couple shaded darker than my nomal one from elf and preferred that as it was more natural.

Are there any Irish sites that sell ELF products?

Not a problem with the borjois one. I have the one that looks like a little bar of chocolate I must have it at least a year if not longer and its still going strong and hasnt hardened up - I rotate it and other ones so thats why its lasted so long

Its a nice one though make to get the one with no shimmer I think there are a few shades.

Also the benefit hoola bronzer is great i find it lasts ages and its not shimmery.
