NW40-55/NC40-55, What are your Fav Bronzers?

[bellaetoile]

i'm an nc42 and my favorite bronzers are stila sun shade #2, mac loose bronzing powder in golden bronze, nars laguna, mac gold deposit MSF. the loose bronzing powder especially is amazing, since it can be applied really sheer with the 188 brush.

The Giorgio Armani bronzers look very promising. Has anyone tried them?

I use Giorgio Armani Sheer bronzer in 6, it gives me a glow without looking too shimmery or metallic like many bronzers do on my nw50-55 complexion. When applied on top of blush it is even better. It is expensive though, $46 is a lot for a bronzer. I have Mac's Shooting Star and it is too metallic on my dark skin, it's much better as a highlighter.

Ohhh - I'm so excited now. I can't wait to check it out in person. $46 is a lot, but it looks huge, plus I bet it would look so good blended with Format and Sweet As Cocoa.

i'm nc40 and i usually don't do bronzer, the only one i have purchased is mac's refined golden, which is pretty versatile for me (i.e., contouring, evening out skintone in place of foundation). i actually got hoola as a gift (in the palette hoola hues) and didn't think it would work on me, but after reading these posts i'm going to give it another try! :nod:

I use hoola by benefit but i feel like it can look a little muddy at times.


Has anyone whos an NC42 tried bobbi brown bronzer and what shade do they use?

I have said before that I am seriously against bronzer. I run from the sun, but I caved under the pressure of a friend. I bought a Bobbi Brown bronzer in dark and I love it! It's so pigmented. I could probably use Medium, as well. I was afraid her colors wouldn't suit me so I went deeper than I really needed to. With a light hand, though it's gorgeous. I'm not sure about my Mac shade. NC50 is too dark, I know that much. I guess I'm an NC45.

Im an NC 44 and I used to use Revlon mineral finishing powder in suntan matte. It works great but turns orange on me after a few hours.

I am NC50 and I reach for Cover Girl Queen Ebony Bronzer, MAC Refined Deeper Bronzer, or Stila 03. Based on recommendations I have tried, NARS Casino and Cargo Dark bronzers but these shades did nothing for me, so I use them as a face powder. I have found Cover Girl Queen Bronzer is my go to bronzer, then MACs Refined Deeper Bronzer. This is second because of the shimmer. Stila 03 came as a recommendation but I had to track it down on ebay because it is discontinued. It's okay but not a favorite.
