They are realllllllllly sheer. Nothing showed up. I am also NW45. Personally, I would skip it.

I have Gilded. It's pretty. Once upon I time I had the silver one but I gave it away to a friend because it didn't really do anything for me.

Thanks twinkle I might check it out.

I am nc45 and I love Iman bronzer in bronzed clay. It is actually bronze with gold and it is not red. It shows up a true brownish, golden tone on the skin and you can see it. It is buildable and can get really bronze if you want it to.

I bought the Bobbi Brown bronzer in Natural today and I feel like its a bit too cool and red for my NC40 skin. I think this could be better as a contour colour but I personally like my bronzers to be a bit more golden brown. I think i'll exhange it for a shimmery one.

Wow what a super helpful fourm! I am actually looking for a new bronzer. I'm currently using MAC's Bronze...but it's barely getting it done and I have to build it up like crazy to see results.

 

[Ingenue]

I'm a huge fan of the NARS Multiple bronzer in Rapa Nui (for actual bronzing) or Malaysia (for evening out my skin tone).

I am relatively new to Specktra, but I just wanted to thank you all for helping me find the PERFECT bronzer. I am an NC45 and I LOVE Cargo's bronzer in Dark. Thanks again!

I love this bronzer too! I'm NW 43 and it's perfect for shading and contouring for me!

here are my latest finds & i'm nw45 for reference .
i'm always trying to find a bronzer that really gives me this tanned, kinda baked look, not just a glow .

laura mercier creme eyeshadow in burnished coper , also great for contour
laura mercier bronzer duos in pink bronze , it comes with a brown shade and a pink one . the another one but i forgot the name is a burnt orange side and a light orange side . they are pricey though (CDN$40 !!!)

Pink Bronze is really nice; it's a dupe for a Guerlain Bronzer (the sheer, moasic one with pink, in Dark) so it's at least cheaper than Guerlain.

My favorite bronzers are:

ELF Studio Bronzer in Cool
MAC Warm Blend MSF
MAC Brunette MSF

I usually like to put bronzer just on the cheeks to give me a warm/glow from within type look. I am NC44 for reference.

(lol) I don't even know what shade to get! So if bronzer is so neccessary, what is a good shade for us. (I wear NC 45/50)

It is so worth it darling!! i love contouring ! i use MAC Refine Golden for my NC 42/43 skin =) it gives such a natural look. I also like Nars Laguna. The one thing i realized, when it comes to tanned / dark skin, i need to brighten up, not lighten/whiten up. And those dark bronzers make me look dirty!

 

[Hairnova]

I didn't know Nars Lovejoy could be used as bronzer so I will have to try it. The only bronzer I bought for bronzing is Lorac Glow and I am not crazy about it

Or is there a true neutral / cool toned bronzer out there that will work with my blues, greys, berries and purples, even during winter? My story: I am a cool undertoned / deep winter NW45 gal. A MAC MA introduced me to MAC Raizin this summer which she used as a contour / blusher / bronzer. It was nice at the time and I even bought one but before you could blink (here in the UK) summer was over and my 'tan' was long gone. It just looks wrong now...
