[irini]

i wanna start with a bronzer

i've narrowed it down to stila's bronzer and too faced chocolate soleil bronzer.what do you suggest?

thank you very much!!!

I like NARS Laguna or Too Faced Beach bunny. I dont know about the others. I've swatched chocolated by Too Faced and it was pretty nice but I have never purchased it.

Nars Laguna is a great bronzer! I like MAC bronzer as well, but it can be too shimmery for me.

Bobbi Brown. You want a bonzer that looks natural.

nars laguna is great, but i also love my stila bronzing powder.

I really like the stila bronzer, I use it everyday now. It's a nice color and has a teensy bit of sparkle but hardly noticeable once applied. Ive heard good things about chocolate soleil though so idk. I think the too faced one is darker.

totally agree. BB's bronzer has the most natural finish out of all the ones I've tried. Smooth, matte, and gives the perfect amount of warmth with a hint of pink. I can't even tell I have it on, it just looks like my skin but... bronzier.

I have Laura Geller's Deluxe Bronze/Balance n' Brighten in the mail. I have heard really good reviews for it so i'm looking forward to trying it out.

If you want something that adds glow as well, NARS Laguna is beautiful as well.

I use TF Chocolate Soleil and I'm very pleased with it. I'm pale with combo skin, so I've had a hard time finding a bronzer that didn't look orange on me. But this one works great! It's easy to build colour - though I usually just use a single "layer" or two. And yes, it smells delicious!

I couldn't find a bronzer that worked for me until Bobbi Brown's Illuminating Bronzing Powder. I cannot live without that stuff.

what shade do you use?

 

[cetati]

Antigua or Maui depending on the rest of my make up. Maui is more warm and sparkly. I like Antigua for daily use. It works as a great blush/bronzer, and lightly brushed across my forehead, chin, and a little bit on the bridge of my nose with whatever's left over on my brush from the cheeks, really brightens up my dull Asian olive complexion which can sometimes be really dead and with dark undertones.

I had actually ordered Antigua and Bali Brown from Nordies yesterday morning.. I picked them up today and.. wow. They're incredible. I knew they'd be good because I have only heard perfect reviews for them so far (MUA, QVC boards, youtube, etc) but I am seriously impressed now that I finally have them.

I'll put up my review on the BB thread because I don't want to derail this thread.. i'm in love!

Glad you're enjoying it.
