Bronzer is a product that I used to skip out on regularly, but it seems that the reason I was skipping it was that I didn't know how to use it properly. I was convinced that bronzer was a beauty product reserved for those with heavy fake tan and a severe case of scouse brow. Turns out there are bronzers out there for pale girls too! Who knew!
The bronzer that changed it all for me was the NARS Laguna Bronzer. I was spectacularly intimidated by this when I saw it in person, but I was assured that it was the bronzer for pale people. Everyone was right, this taken on a big fluffy brush and lightly buffed into the skin looks fantastic. It's my go to bronzer, because it's so damn easy to get right. It's not orange toned, it has a hint of shimmer and it just warms up the skin fantastically. It lasts so well on the skin and is all round a fabulous product.
A bronzer that stole my heart at the beginning of the year is The Body Shop's Honey Bronzer in 001. As much as I love Laguna, there is no better bronzer for pale people, it's incredibly light and totally matte, without so much as a hint of orange to it. This is perfect for the winter months when Laguna is a touch too dark for my vampire skin.
A slightly more luxury item, the YSL Terre Saharienne bronzing powder* also makes the 'best bronzer' list. It's got a hint of shimmer and a warm but not orange shade. A little goes a long way with this one, so although it's pricey it'll last you a long time!
And lastly, a cream bronzer, the Bourjois Bronzing Primer. This one is slightly bizarre, but blended into the skin with a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, this looks incredibly natural and bronzed on the skin. Definitely worth checking out!
