Question:
Mixed race or olive skinned girls....bronzer?
I have never used bronzer but I find myself more and more attracted to the idea of them. Especially since the chances of getting a tanned glow anytime this summer are looking pretty slim!
Problem is, are there any that are suitable for my skintone? I am a mix of white and west indian but quite pale usually (you can see a pic of me on my myspace) I'm thinking MAC...but I know Bobbi Brown have a loads of diffrent shimmer bricks. Any other ideas?
Thanks :D
I would go for MAC. I use MAC bronzer in shade bronze and it gives a subtle glow to the skin. I was never interested in bronzer before but I asked the MAC assistant if she could find me a product that gives the skin a healthy glow and as I dont wear foundation she suggested I try the bronzers. Im so impressed with it. The shimmerbricks are gorgeous too but they are quite shimmery so you have to be lighthanded when you apply them. What I usually do is apply bronzer and then abit of blusher and then I apply the shimmerbrick over blusher which gives a really pretty effect. Hope that helps :)

i've got olive skin (nc35 in summer) and use bronzer, i find The Body Shop bronzer to be good and Mac but the best one i've found is the Avon Arabian Glow bronzer compact, really gives me a glowing from inside look :)
