Best bronzer??? help needed please.

Lively-Blonde

Hey I'm new here so i don't know if this is the right place but here goes.
I am a slight bronzer addict but I do not like the umpa lumpa orange look, more so sun kissed.
As I'm late teens, I don't like wearing heavy foundations on a daily basis(more so just on nights out) so i tend just to wear a bit of bronzer instead.
I've been using 17 bronzing beads but I fancy a bit of a change.
Anyone have any recommendations for other good bronzers out there at the moment?

Hiya, I recommend the Mac bronzer, not sure what shade, but the girl gives me the lightest colour as Im pale and i really like it...been on a bit of a budget recently and bought a Boots Natural Collection bronzer but it is crap IMO!

Loopy

I use Chanel, its expensive but looks very natural..

For a cheapo option, Mark's and Spencers do a nice one that's quite natural looking and lasts ages. The last one I bought was Clinique, but I think when i'm finished i'll be going back to the M&S one!

I use Sun Shimmer medium matte powder if I want to bronze my neck, chest etc. I use Mac's Bronzer in 'Bronze' for my cheeks.

I'll check out the marks and spencers one, do they only do one or is there a particular one?

as for the sun shimmer, i find it only turns out ok on me when I already have tan on otherwise it can be a tad orange on my skin.

As for the more expensive ones that were mentioned, i'll keep them in mind next time i'm up in the big smoke!

thanks for your replies everyone

It's been a little while since I bought the M&S one Lively-Blonde, but as far as I remember, they only had the one type in a few different shades.

Have a look at Physicians Formula make-up. I came across these products when working in the US and I have to say the bronzers/blushers are great! They are similar to the Guerlain Bronzers with that patchwork of colours in the palette. And they are designed for sensitive skin as well. And cheap too. Only thing is I'm not sure if they sell it in Ireland. Might have to buy online. The one I've got is the shade Mocha and good for the regular pale irish skin tone.

EDIT: It's matte with no Glitter! YAY

I would recommend Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick Compact, I use the rose one cos ive fair skin but depending on ure skin tone theres other shades to choose from! you wont look like an umpa lumpa! its natural enough to wear in the day or at nite just use a little more of it:D! its a bit dear but well worth it! lasts ages:D:D
