Bronzer or blusher?

[Ithica]

Hello gals

I am a nc25 with dark brown/blackish hair, and dark brown eyes. I am basically just looking for a bronzer.. allthough Im not sure if i am too pale to carry it off. I've added a picture although the lighting might be abit off but I am interested in either http://www.pout.co.uk/images/product...T003999W_1.jpg or http://www.pout.co.uk/images/product...T003998W_1.jpg

i don't think you're too pale for a bronzer at all. the key is just to apply it with a light hand and not to pick one that is a sheerer shade. i'm not familiar with the products you have pictures of, but i would also suggest looking into bobbi brown shimmer brick in bronze, the new flashtronic msf by MAC or carg's big bronzer. All of these will give you a bronze shimmer w/o too much color so it will match you skintone better. hth!

Another product you might want to check out is Benefit's Hoola. It's a great versatile neutral, no-shimmer bronzer which isn't too heavy. It works with most light to medium skintones beutifully without turning orange or being sparkly. It's definitely an industry staple.

I'm not terribly familiar with the two products you posted, but they both LOOK to be ok for you, but it's a matter of how they apply. Both are fairly frosty/shimmery which can make the bronzer look a bit fake and overdone. I tend to prefer using a matte bronzer, and then a separate highlighter if I wish to add some glow to the face.
