Thanks!!

Maybe Stila Sun Shade #1 or #2.

Just popping in to say that the Too Faced Chocolate Bronzer is boo-boo. There is no way I could make that work for me, EVER! But those of you with lighter complexions that mine might want to check it out because it smells sooooo good.

Will Nars Casino suit my skintone? I'm about to buy it online, but won't be able to return it and don't wanna make a dodgy purchase.

Thanks.

What's your skin tone? Honestly, I don't use my Casino very often and when I do it is more to highlight the planes of the face. It gives a golden glow.

I like Casino, but there are honestly more WOC friendly bronzers out there though.

Thank you, you've just saved me $30

I bought a Wet n Wild pot of bronzer today, only $3.99. Looks nice for my skintone in the jar.

I use MAC format Blush as a bronzer along with a little of Trish Mcevoy's gold Face shine (discontinued)

This is a really good thread. Very informative. I'm glad this was at the top because I plan on getting some bronzers from the Style Warriors collection. I know one of them is in the permanent collection and the other one is a repromote, so many of you have them already. Anyways my question is what would you recommend for a NC45?

Twinkle, did you used to have a different beauty blog that you stopped doing last Summer?

I've been googling for reviews, swatches (something!) on Stila Sun shade 03 and came across a blog run by somebody called Twinkle who loves Stila sun 03.

You own it don't you? How would that look on my NC45/50 skin?

Lol, I did have another blog. And Stila Shade #3 is divine. I love that it is semi-matte because it is so wearable. Stila discontinued the shade (as they have done with their darker foundations, powders, etc.) but it is very easy to find on places like fragrancex.com and even at CCOs. I'll take a picture soon, and I need to update the blog with a couple of bronzer posts anyway.

I thought it was you :) I've found it to buy and a swatch to look at would be great when you have the time!

I'm an NC50, maybe a lil lighter in the winter, but I love bronzers. It really does give a nice glow, but its hard to fine one that works for my skintone. Today though, I found the perfect ones at Marshalls. The brand is called Gotta B Urban and the color for the bronzers I got were Sunsational and Tantastic. One has a palm tree in it, the other a sun. They cost 5.99 and its 1.37 grams of product. If you can find this brand, I definitely recommend it. Oh and Wet & Willd has good bronzers also. Also the Victoria Secret bronzer in Copacabana works really well. Its actually darker than my skintone. So I use it to contour. Hope this helps someone
