Hey guys!

I was wondering if anyone had any bronzer recomendations for pale skin (current foundation is Revlon Colourstay combo/oily in 110 Ivory) that would also suit a neutral undertone? I find almost all bronzers look really orange on me, I think due to my paleness, but cool toned ones look really muddy. I'm not 100% sure of my undertone but I think I'm mostly neutral, leaning towards cool (but not completely cool).

i'm not a massive bronzer fan and I'm slightly diff tone i think but the only two i've found that i love on my skin (i'm quite pale naturally) are Benefit Hoola and Too Faced Chocolate Soleil

I would 2nd checking out Two Faced Chocolate Soleil, just because it seems to suit a wide range of skin tones and also works well as a contour powder if it's too dark there's the milk chocolate one from the range which is a bit lighter.
If you like a bronzer with some glow and want to splurge I would recommend checking out the Hourglass ones or even just their Ambient Lighting Powder in Radiant Light as it gives a subtle bronzed look that seems to work on really pale skin tones to more medium shades.

I reccomend the Rimmel contour kit. The bronzer on it is subtle and builds up slowly not intense.

Thanks for the suggestions! I was thinking about the Benefit Milk chocolate as I swatched it in Mecca Maxima and it looked pretty good! I've also heard so many good things about the Hourglass ambient light powders. Maybe the Rimmel contour kit would be a good starting point as I have avoided bronzer until now haha.

If you're looking for a cheap bronzer to start with, try Essence Sun Club. It comes in two shades, Blonde for fair complexions and Brunette for darker complexions. I'm fair and accidentally bought Brunette instead of Blonde. I still used it and it worked well, didn't leave me looking orange or "muddy", and I quite liked the faint coconut scent.

Thanks for the suggestion! I was looking at their bronzers the other day in farmers!
