Need suggestions for bronzer for really pale

skin. I am so really pale that something too dark looks so fake, but I want to get something that will help to take some of the 'redness' out, even the tone, and give a little natural looking color.

Any suggestions??

Re: Need suggestions for bronzer for really pale

I am really pale and I had to go to a wedding. I used one by coppertone. It is in blueish green container. You can see 2 tubes in it. One is tanning lotion and the other is cream. It comes in a light/medium shade - the best thing is that it comes out in about 45 min - not hours.

I'll find the name of it and let you know.

Coppertone Endless Summer - light/medium

Estee Lauder and Lancome work real good but they are very expensive.

Make sure you rub it in good (I use plastic gloves so it doesn't get on the palms of my hands). And don't shave your legs after!!! It will streak.

I was just talking about this! I love Benefit Flamingo Fancy...it's a light, coppery bronzer that smells really good. You can get it at Sephora--it's a little pricey though!

Re: Need suggestions for bronzer for really pale

If you are REALLY pale, PLEASE be careful when choosing a bronzer.. Bronzer looks funny on really pale skin if you don't use the right shade... You should really go with a color that will give you an all around glowy look..

Bronzer has a tendency of rubbing off in certain spots, if not put on properly.. there are people who use it as foundation as opposed to using it as its real purpose, ie a highlighter.

Estee Lauder's bronzer is AMAZING.. it leaves behind a silky dry finish... faboo..

Re: Need suggestions for bronzer for really pale

I'm sorry. I think I may have worded it wrong. I am looking for make-up bronzer like in a powder, not the tanning lotions. I'm sorry, I may be using the wrong description.

The self tanning lotions make me look orange b/c I am so light. I just want the powder I can use on my face, neck, etc.

Thanks

Opps, I just read that you didn't want a sef tanner...well, Estee Lauder has this amazing product called BODY GLOW (it's a sheer bronzing mousse)...you can only get it at the Cosmetic Store in the Tanger Outlet (I think Este Lauder no longer makes it)...it's amazing, it even has a bit of a sparkle it it to really make you look like you have this fresh looking tan.

Re: Need suggestions for bronzer for really pale

I am extremely pale and I love bronzers by Mojave Magic, but they are only available on QVC. (Look at QVC.com). I have two compacts- one with two different colors and one with four different colors. They work very well for me.
