Any pale gals use the bronzers as blushes??

Hi, I'm curious? have any of you pale gals(14 ebony, 1wg,1bg) tried either of the bronzers as a blusher, and what was the result. I don't want it to be an AOFC effect, I want it more as sunkissed cheeks, just got back from somewhere exotic kind of effect.

Oh, and I have used Bronzed Beauty blush, and I like it, but I have to use a lot.

I am not quite as pale as you, but I use Beach Bunny just like a blush. It looks very natural.

I use often use Temp Tryst as a bronzer. I am pale enough that I need such a small about of powder that anything with color will work. Worth trying to see if you like the colors on you.

Well i tried and definately NEVER could! But i'm very pale. When i got Beach bunny i though i must have ordered the dark one by mistake cos it was so dark on me. Bronzed beauty is dark on me. But then i'm 16:1 so i think maybe i underestimate how pale i am.

I mix 9:1 (roughly) for summer and I imagine I'll be much paler in the winter.

I have tried a variety of the glows/bronzers and have found that they magnify my pores and many of them are very dark on me.

I recommend trying Tempt Tryst or one of the other tinted perfecting powders, OR try one of the new perfecting glows instead.

If you do want to try a bronzer, get Beach Bunny, and use it sparingly.
