Definitely SMashbox Suntan Matte.way better than Mac…has no shimmer in it which I like and gives you a warmed natural look.

A new favorite for me, and a brand I’ve never used before: Laura Geller Blush-N-Brighten in Sunswept. Pink and bronze swirlled together. Looks great on my complexion. Love it.

Nars Laguna. It gives the perfect bronzy color, not too orange or brown, and it has glitter that just makes your face radiant.

I want a matte bronzer and was thinking of Mac’s Refined Golden. Is it any good?

  For a good MAC matte bronzer go with MSF Dark, its like Refined Golden but no shimmer.
  My Bronzers: MSF Dark (matte) and Refined Golden (shimmer) both are awesome :)

Nars Casino

benefit 10 is soooo pretty.
the instructions say not to mix the two colors but it looks best mixed.
it’s the only bronzer i use often on my fair skin.
- Ribbons
  
  Friday, December 4, 2009
  
  I second this, and I mix them as well to give a lovely sheen to the bronzer. Makes it a perfect colour for pale skin as well! :)

One that I really don’t like is Nars Laguna – it’s muddy, hard to blend, and just not pretty. I am liking Stila’s bronzer in shade 02, and I used to use the Body Shop bronzing beads all the time. Do they still make them?
- Brigitte
  
  Friday, December 4, 2009
  
  YEP! I looove Stila’s bronzer. It’s matte, and fairly inexpensive. It gets the job done beautifully and naturally. I use shade 2 as well.

LORAC Tantalizer when I want a nice glow for an evening out, it looks very natural. The Stila bronzer in Shade 02 is great too.

I am curious nobody mentioned Too Faced Bronzer in SUN BUNNY.
I’m a NC 40 and its really gorgeous on my skintone! The same can be said of Too Faced Bronzer in BEACH BUNNY as well.
