Bronze Beauty/Bronzer ?'s

Post by JenK » Sat Jun 12, 2010 9:58 am

I got a sample of Bronze Beauty this week, finding I need a ton for it to show up on my cheeks (I am fair-med so I was surprised). Only need a bit for my eyes, shows right up and looks great. Are the Bronzers more pigmented than Bronze Beauty? Being on the fair side I tend to stay away from Bronzers. The only Bronzer I ever found to look good on me is Prescriptives (REST IN PEACE...I BABY THIS AS W/ THEIR other products).

Thanks

I am very fair and have the bronze beauty blush. It gives me a very subtle natural look.

I do suggest the bronzer for fair skin Beach Bunny. I have it in full size and will wear it very often. It does not look orange and always look natural. It gives me a slight flushed from the sun look. I also use the small fibre optic brush that Karen sells and apply some on my eye lids.

Samples are reasonable and I recommend trying this one.

I haven't tried Bronze Beauty but I have Beach Bunny and use it all the time. I am fair and many bronzers look horribly orange or muddy on me even though I am warm-toned simply because they are too dark. Beach Bunny is a golden tan but never orange or yellow, and it looks very natural with just the right amount of glow. Here's a swatch I made on my (tanned) arm comparing it to Tahiti Sweetie and EDM Soft Bronzer, hope it helps: Image

Annika & Autumn,

I will add a sample of Beach Bunny to my next order. I wasn't expecting Tahiti Sweetie to be that much darker, the swatches were very helpful!

Thanks

Jenk, I'm very fair and I have to use a lot of Bronze Beauty for it to really show up, however I need less of the new vegan formula than the old regular formula. Like the other gals, I have Beach Bunny, but it is so subtle on me that I can wear it as a blush, without needing a fibre optic brush. You'll be happy you got it.
Tigerlily, the eyeshadow, also makes a lovely medium matte peach blusher. Start with just a tiny bit, and build up if you want....it;s gorgeous!

Ooh, beach bunny looks really pretty! Being fair too, I usually avoid bronzers as they just look fake, but I am starting to get really pale now (mid winter) so a bit of colour might help.

Yup, one more vote for Beach Bunny from me :)
I don't do bronzers at all, but BB works nicely on my light neutral skin tone. I even use it (or used to before I had Drama) to contour sometimes.

Can anyone compare beach bunny to Halo glow? I'm very fair too and got a sample of the halo glow thinking the bronzers would be too dark. But I think I will sample beach bunny.... :D Thanks!

Halo is much shinier and more yellow, I use it as a beautiful gold e/s :) I can swatch them side by side for you when I get home from work in a couple of hours.

Awesome thanks! I'll try it on my eyes today! So you think the bronze beauty is better on cheeks?
