    ModelCo BRONZE

    “This bronzer i find is very similar to Too Faced Chocolate Soleil and it is cheaper and easier to get for Australian beauty lovers, the colour is beautiful, be careful how much you get on your brush a tap off excess so you don't get too much product on your face as i learnt the first time i used it, very soft and easy to blend out, my favourite!!”. -bh member Sgandco

    llIVIA GLO GETTA Quad - GOLDEN

    “This pack has beautiful colours. They are so silky and make me feel sun kissed all year round. Sometimes I find it hard to find a pack where I love all the highlighter colours equally. This pack I use all colours and love the chai (peachy gold) in the inner corner of my eye. I also loved using the latte (cool bronze) on my collar bones for extra glow. There's nothing quite like the IIIVIA sparkle!.” - bh member kellydykman

    M.A.C Bronzing Powder

    “Let me start of by saying, this is my holy grail bronzer! I have been using this shade for years and I have just hit pan (satisfying, but sad.) Golden is a lovely shade, PERFECT for all my pale friends out there. Yes, it's bronzey like a bronzer should be, but it has the most perfect warm sort-of red undertone to it. It just comes off looking very natural and sunkissed, like how us ghosts would tan if we could.” - bh member Viki J

    I feel bronzer just gives the face the dimension it needs, I think on any skin color you need that little bit extra so your features don't look all flat, good article.

    I haven't tried any of the bronzers mentioned. Thank you for the helpful tips.

    This was very helpful and still looking for the perfect bronzer.

    Elunia 2 Jan 2019 10:31 PM

    I have benefits hoola and I need to be very light with the application as I am so pale. Therefore it is easier not to use bronzer as I need to continue with my neck, then chest, then I look at my arms.... enough said? :)

    Great instructions for when I can be bothered.

    Petal 17 Dec 2018 6:25 PM

    I've tried Benefit's Hoola - it looked okay, but not ideal for my pale skin. I don't feel the need to try a bronzer again.

    I recommend the balm Bahama mama bronzer. I actually posted on the forums and it was recommended by a few people. I went out and tried it and absolutely love it!!

    Snailor 15 Dec 2018 11:27 PM

    I like switching between a matte and sparkly bronzer depending on whether I want to contour or add colour to my face!

    Gabster 14 Dec 2018 6:46 PM

    Its going to be a New Years resolution in 2019 to try a bronzer!

    Nan Kate 30 Oct 2019 5:49 PM

    At aged 78, I have not used a bronzer up till now. Maybe I will try one very soon! My skin is showing my age, and I need all the help I can get!

    GeeJ 13 Dec 2018 9:01 PM

    Love these videos. I've never touched my bronzer pans, but that is going to change now.

    abbeyleee12 13 Dec 2018 7:56 AM

    live for the bahama mumma bronzer its absolutly amazing!

    Pam_Grills 12 Dec 2018 12:38 PM

    It is refreshing to know that I have been applying my bronzer, love BH's tutorials:))

    Lucy16 12 Dec 2018 5:37 AM

    I must purchase some more...

    Lucy16 12 Dec 2018 5:36 AM

    Looove bronzer.

    Thanks for the tips!

    ray_jay 11 Dec 2018 8:13 PM

    great quick video

    I never wear bronzer because I'm so pale & cool-toned that I know I'll look ridiculous with it. I have had someone apply it to me once (along with an orange blush) and, well, let's just say that the results were hilarious.

    Peach perfect 12 Dec 2018 9:47 AM

    I'm olive skin so nowhere close to pale and yet bronzer looks funny on me during daytime. Try using just a darker shade of mineral cover with same technique. Works for me :)

    Pretty_please 18 Dec 2018 5:04 AM

    I'm olive (light to tan depending on season) as well and also found darker powder foundations work best as bronzer for me, I really love the Becca Multi Tasking Perfecting Powder in Warm Honey. Whats your favourite?

    Peach perfect 18 Dec 2018 9:14 AM

    @Pretty_please - Currently I'm using nude by nature mineral cover foundation in olive shade for their bronzer for bit shimmery look in the evening with illuminator. I love NBN products but also feeling bit bored of powders for everything now and looking for a cream highlighter ;)

    Pretty_please 18 Dec 2018 1:12 PM

    Thanks, I'd love to know if you find a good one. The cream bronzers tend to be too light for me, so I'm thinking of going the same route and trying a darker cream foundation.

    Peach perfect 18 Dec 2018 4:58 PM

    I like that idea. :)

    jillian206 10 Dec 2018 2:00 PM

    I used to wear bronzer as blush. But I don't think that is quite the right way to do things so I stopped.

    Angage 10 Dec 2018 10:46 AM

    I never use bronzer before.

    beautyfun 10 Dec 2018 7:39 AM

    Thanks for the information. It's one thing I don't use.

    cityglenda 9 Dec 2018 8:58 PM

    I've only ever tried bronzer once & my whole face reacted to it & it was a well-known brand. Not sure I want to go there again.
