Bronzer for the Bronzed! - Page 11

covergirl queen bronzer in ebony bronze. im a nw43/nc50. the best ever.

 

 

I just heard about the Covergirl Queen Bronzers.  I went looking for these yesterday without any luck.  Any idea which one would work for NC43/44?  Thanks.

I had to order mine online from walmart.com. I'm a nc44/45 and ordered both the brown bronze and ebony bronze. Will update once I receive them and get to try it out. However, all this talk about Guerlain bronzer has my interest peaked.

You would probably like Light bronze, or brown bronze if you wanted something more intense. They are usually harder to find because there is only 3 shades of them so they are often put with other cover girl queen products like the compact foundations where they blend in. You could always order online if you can't find them on the ground. Walmart online has them for like $6.60.

i tried brown bronze and i couldn't see it at all.  I am somewhere btwn nc45 nc50 and nw43. i have less yellow and more olive undertone also.  ebony bronze is what i use to contour when I really want it noticed.  I usually use mac blunt for a soft contour.  Ebony may be a little rich for your tone esp if you have more yellow in your skin.

I am an NC50, maybe a little lighter in the winter and I love brown bronze for a really natural glow. It doesn't add a whole lot of color it just warms up the face a little. I use ebony bronze for a more intense look or for contouring but still with a very light hand. I think brown bronze is sort of like Saddle e/s. For me Saddle is a beautiful crease/transition color, just slightly darker than my skintone & warms things up for a more complete look.

Thank you for sharing!

I love NARS Casino, CG Brown Bronze and MAC Sunny by Nature LE

NYX Matte Bronzer perfect for Brown Skin.
 

I am not sure if i am doing something wrong but when i contour with the CG Ebony Bronzer, I don't find that i can see the contour.....maybe its me?? I am a NW45 but i live in the Caribbean so my color can go from NW45-NW50 if i am constantly in the sun.

I am NW 43 and that is a very natural contour for me.  Try using a matte dark brown eyeshadow like embark.  My cousin used my carbon eyeshadow to my dismay when we were going out. It ended being gorg.  It was a tip she picked up from being a dark skinned sister in the music industry.

Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try.

Have you tried their products ( very pigmented ) ?

Or maybe more simply a MUFE bronzer  ?

I agree, brown bronze doesn't show up if you have an olive undertone. Ebony is the one I use also

I am NC40 and i use Sunpower skin finish by mac adds a really nice healthy glow!

what about NARS Casino?  i can't remember anyone mentioning this bronzer but it seems so obvious. i have not used this before.  Wondering if will warm the skin nicely and softly. anyone tried it?

I'm NC50, but this winter, that foundation is looking a tad dark :( so right now, I would say I'm an NC48/49.

 

I use Ebony Bronze (this is my special occasion bronzer/contour, because I get the best results with this)

Sleek Contour Kit in Medium (Great contour)

Sleek Contour Kit in Dark (Too dark, looks a little muddy, but I like the highlighter it comes with, so I still use the product)

I'm C7 (golden/olive) and Casino is a very subtle glow, close to my skin tone. If I want bronzer to stand out more I'll use Bobbi Brown Bahama or Deep....I've swatched my bronzers on white tissue to compare the undertones and Casino is a very neutral brown, almost olive, so that makes sense...BBs are much warmer/richer.

 

Speaking of which, since this BB Illuminating bronzer is now discontinued, does anyone know if BB will come out with anything new for WOC? I haven't hit pan but I will soon and the thought of that happening makes me nervous. Guerlain is on the list right now but not sure about that one for a number of reasons...

 

Also, no matter the product you (general "you") select, the brush you use matters too. If you want to bronze, use a fluffy brush. If you want to contour, then use a denser, stiffer (and probably smaller) brush.

One of my favs

i picked up BB deep bronzer last week.  I wasn't planning to get it but the MA put it on me with a large fluffy brush and I was sold. I usually don't buy items at first look.  I've been using it all week as a contour-instead of my usual blunt and it does something different than blunt and my covergirl queen bronzer.  I do like it so far...thanks for the rec

Any one use Mac Solar Riche bronzer?  I went to a CCO and picked this up there was only one left and I was short on time so I just bought it.  Oddly enough it has a seal on both ends of the box so now I'm not sure if I should even open it.  I'm an NC43 in Studio Fix powder. I imagine I would be an NC44 in the fluid.  What skintone is this shade best for?  

 

In other bronzing news, I can't resist trying new ones.  I just bought the Guerlain Terra Ora and like it very much. I bought it yesterday and the SA said it would look great on me.  She mentioned a co-worker was about the same shade as me wore it and thought it would look great.  I already had a little bit of bronzer on but I let her try it and it did look amazing, but it may have just been the highlighting effect. I will have to try it by itself.  But I love the shimmer.  It has a bronzer on the outside and a gold in the middle and she swirled it around.  I used it the same way today but next time I may just try the brown shade on its own.

Does anyone have any recs for the best cream bronzers for dark skin?

I think Solar Riche would be a good highlighter for your skin. I am NC45-ish and I had this shade. It does give warmth to the face but it not dark enough to deepen color or contour, but I liked it under the brow bone or on top of cheek bones or on top of cupid's bow to highlight.
