Even though (for most of us) we’re in the middle of winter, that doesn’t mean you have to spend the next 3-4 months looking ghostly and lifeless.
Let’s face it – we all want that healthy glow, all year round, but for us pale chicas, that can be hard to obtain without looking like – well – Snooki.
So I’ve compiled some of my favorite bronzers that are perfectly appropriate for the fairest of the fair to wear year round, but especially in the winter, to keep you look like you’re suffering from like, the flu.
Here we go!
NYX HD BLUSH in NUDE’TUDE
While not technically a bronzer, it’s still pretty much the perfect shade for bring life and warmth back to pale skin. It’s a matte, slightly warm, honey hued powder that has an almost creamy consistency, is highly pigmented (use with a light hand!) and blends like a dream. No patches or streaking of any sort!
RIMMEL NATURAL BRONZER in SUN LIGHT
This bronzer is awesome – not only do you get a lot for your money (it takes FOR-EV-ER to hit pan!) but it’s totally matte, waterproof, and it has SPF in it, so it’s perfect all year round! This one is not quite as pigmented though, so you do have to build it up a little bit, but if you’re a beginner, this will be perfect for you – there’s really no chance of overdoing it!
PHYSICIANS FORMULA ARGAN WEAR ULTRA NOURISHING ARGAN OIL BRONZER
Whew! What a mouthful! But you know something? It’s totally worth it! This bronzer is infused with 100% argan oil, which we all know is fantastic for your skin, and its hypoallergenic, gluten free, paraben free, non-comedogenic, and dermatologist approved – Physician’s Formula is known for using like, the highest quality ingredients in the drugstore makeup game – which is why they’re more expensive than most. But if you have sensitive, reactive skin, this is the best brand to try from the drugstore. I will say that when you first open this product, it’s got a very chunky, gold glitter overspray – but you can easily wipe it away with a cotton round like I did – it comes right off!
MAYBELLINE FIT ME PRESSED POWDER in #325 CREAM BEIGE
Maybelline really knows what they’re doing when it comes to their ‘Fit Me’ line – and this product is no exception – while not your standard bronzer (it’s actually a skin toned pressed powder) you’re still getting a natural looking tan color that rivals that of a high end bronzer that’s known for it’s gorgeous finish on fair skin. It’s warm and bronzy without being orangey, because well, we just can’t pull off that look…
NYC SMOOTH SKIN BB CREME BRONZED RADIANCE in LIGHT
So this would obviously fall under the category of cream bronzers, and well, they can be scary – patchy, orangey, prone to oxidizing. This BB cream in the shade ‘Light’ is like a barely there bronze – it’s just enough to warm up your skin, and if you’re really unsure, use it BEFORE you apply your foundation, and then highlight on top of it – you’ll look lit from within!
There you go, my fellow fair skinned gals! Have you guys tried any of these products? What are some of your favorite bronzers?! Leave me a comment and let me know!
