I would love it if you came out with a bronzer/tanner like BE's Warmth or Meow's Sizzle!

The only one I've found that doesn't look ghastly on me is Signature Mineral's Goddess. I'm not that wild about most of their stuff, though it's not horrible or anything, but they really hit it with that bronzer.

Any chance of doing a like one over here? Siren is pretty close, but it's a tad darker and warmer. Are the glows selling well enough to warrant one along the same lines but a little bit lighter and cooler? Or - could some of the glows fall into a 'bronzer' or 'glow/bronzer' category?

lol i've been begging for a trio of bronzers like avon's mosaic from last summer. It would be like...angel, heavenly, and siren in one palette but without the shimmer :)

I have the light one but alas, it's not mineral :cry:

Is Warmth good? I cloned it probably a year ago, and to my eye it was orange. I'll sell it if it's someone's HG- but I think we can do better. I tried an Elizabeth Arden one a little while ago that would be HG for me if I wore non-mineral- but I'm really pale.

I agree- it is something we need- let me finish up in lippie land, and I'll see what I can do. I kind of have to wait for inspiration- and it just hasn't come yet. We'll get there though.

How's Love Lure for you Rhys? It's about half as dark as Siren- but with a little bit more neutral undertones.

Shimmer or no shimmer- or one of each??? I haven't wrapped my head around it yet, but we'll do something.

Warmth is deadly on me, yikes. Orange is right :oops: , that's how I see it, too. I use a mixture of DateBait & Love Lure but as finisher rather than "bronzer" or color since neither adds color to my skintone. Haven't really given Siren a go yet but will try it today.

Love Lure is a little warm on me, but that's okay - if I'm wearing something not totally in the cool range it actually helps tone down my pink and bring out the little bit of gold in my undertone, and I hadn't thought of mixing it with Datebait - I may do that.

Goddess is one of those bronzers that's a little shimmery, but not OTT. I wouldn't use it for contouring (don't do much of that anyway since my cheekbones are pretty prominent in real life), but as a bronzer, I do like it.

So probably one matte and one with, say, the Climax amount of shimmer in it? Aaargghh - but then I think of some of us are deathly pale, some of us are black, most people fall in the middle, and nothing's going to work for everyone.

Is there any way that bronzer colours could be mixed with the white foundation base?

Don't mind me, just trying to think here.

Yes..bronzers are tricky. We're doing one that's light for my pale peeps out there- it's the only one I used that didn't make me look "dirty"- it's more golden, and a little bit glowy- very pretty, then a clone of Benefit's Hoola- so a little bit deeper matte brown. I'll do others or a Warmth dupe if we really need it, but this is a start.

Do remember that the fibreoptic brush can do double or triple duty here - blushes, bronzers, glows, and since you don't sell a big floofy brush - finishing powders, too :)

Must promote that one - it is a great brush.

I'll be excited to see the bronzer shades.
