I have never used a bronzer in my life and have never felt the need for one being a NC43 (a pale one at that, sounds wierd i know but NC43 provides the depth of my undertones perfectly but i'm paler than NC43 on the surface and Blot powder in dark/medium over the top seems to pale the NC43 foundation down a little so it doesn't look too dark but the NC43 tones still show through) and obviosuly being an NC person i have lots of yellow and golden undertones so i'm not sure if i need bronzer but feel like i'm missing out maybe!
I'd like you all to tell me about all the Mac bronzers and which you'd reccomend for me. I really don't want to look like i have bronzer on and definetly not all deeply bronzed etc and so i would have asked you to reccomend me the subtlest MAC bronzer but i'm guessing it wouldn't show on my skin tone. So i'd like the most subtle one that would show on my skin..subtley and pretty-ly!

(Also have my eye on NARS Casino bronzer but i'd prefer a MAC one and Mac has more choice)

I have Rose d'or bronzing stick. I find it nice as a blush only, because its a "rose" color and kinda red. I'd like to try another neutral color as well.

Oh sorry. I thought it could be more of a thread about the Mac bronzers in general and people's opinions on them so it could help everyone know more about them and added what would be reccomended for me aswell.

ETA - Just realised i stupidly posted this and the other thread about using Fix + over Primer, in the swatches area! It was meant to be in MAC chat. If it's possible could you move them to Mac chat as i think they're threads that could help everyone learn more about the products and the way they intearact. If not it's ok. Thanks!

Honestly I would go with the NARS Casino bronzer. I have had both MAC and NARS (though in Laguna) bronzers and the NARS one just applies so much nicer. Its a little shimmery and you can apply it lightly or heavily depending on what you want. The MAC one that I had just felt too chalky and heavy for me so I gave it away. Go with Casino!

I'm also an NC43 and I have Bronzing Powder in "Bronze"

It was recommended to me by Glenn at the Berkeley, CA store. He picked this shade for my skin tone. Honestly, I don't feel like it accomplishes much except gives me a shimmery quality. I use it with the skunk brush in an E on either side of my face, and use the residual left on my brush for my nose and chin. I feel like it does warm me up a bit, but I also feel like its a bit unneccessary. Sorry, don't know how much help my answer was.
