Bronzers for asian skintones

[smellyocheese]

you may want to try an illuminatiing bronzer so that it give highlight to the skin as well instead of making it look dull with matte bronzers. I'm currently using Stila's Illuminating Finishing Powder bronzer and it's working out great for me!

im asian, nc30 with yellow undertones and use refined golden bronzer. i find you need to use a light hand otherwise your cheeks will look ruddy. as most bronzers are yellow based, its best to use a very light dusting. or i reccomend peach-pink blushers like mac peachtwist which looks sooo good against my skin (if i do say so myself lol)

Hey, thank you for the recommendation!
That's the thing, it doesn't seem dull, because of the pink undertones. I highlight my cheekbones, but sometimes a woman needs a matte bronzer

. Shimmer is nice, and I use it in all of my looks, however as far as looking naturally tanned, it's nice not to have big specks of glitter allover my face. In photographs, shimmer also defeats the purpose of bronzer, since it reflects light.

I am NC30 and the pearlizer in warm is amazingly nice and natural on me. Give it a try!

well, it looks funny when u take pictures with the bronzer on but in real life it really looks like a real neat tan. the kind of look that you'd get when you're just out of the sun, skin still glowing from some sweat... well... it looks better than it sounds. heh.

I'm an NC35 asian (for reference).

I have 2 recs for you =)

1. NARS laguna - I waited YEARS to try this, and once I did, I loved it! The shimmer in the pan is ever so subtle and gives you a wonderful tan glow (not oily shine, which I was afraid of). It doesn't look dirty or orange at all and you can built according to your needs, definitely try this one if you want a naturally sun-kissed look

2. MAC gingerly (blush) - this one is a matte finish, it's the most gorgeous peachy bronze blush I've ever tried - it gives you a bronzy glow with a hint of peachy flush

NARS Laguna or Casino. Casino is one step bronzier than Laguna which is a bit golder. Asian skin varies from the palest white porcelain to a deep ebony-there is such a big variety out there!
I have been using South Beach Multiple for small touches of bronze.

I'm Asian and pretty pale - NC 20 to NC 25 - but my favorite bronzer would have to be Nars Laguna. Love that stuff - it's totally worth it. I use my kabuki brush and dot some on my forehead, tip of my nose, and cheekbones and I'm set for the day.

Benefit Dallas bronzer is great and so is BE warmth

May I also suggest NARS blushes in Zen (neutral brown) which is matte and Madly (brown with pink undertone). They are great for everyday wear and contouring if you have a round face.

I'm Asian NC35 and I love the heck out of my Global Glow. I'm thinking Warmed MSF should be similar enough. For a more matte look I use Rimmel's bronzer in Sun Glow - which is really orange but I like that, 'cause I only use it on my cheeks.

As for blushes, you could try Sunbasque.
