...for bronzer shopping!
well, for me anyways!

I'm looking for a matte bronzer and I'm pretty torn...
I have Global Glow MSF so its for my shimmery days...
and lately I've been really liking the Matte look, especially after seeing how oily my face gets at parties

I tried strobe liquid last weekend for the first time and I already have oily skin, I was just looking for some dew...and I got shiny !!!!

ANYWAY back on track, what do you recommend? I've always bought shimmery make up so naturally I like NARS Laguna, but the MA also showed me NARS Heat which is apparently the same but without sparkles...however, it looked a bit blotchy on my skin (might have been her application as she was going for a lunchbreak right after me*shrug*)

I tried MSFN in DARK and it made me too rosy

Any recs? What are your thoughts ..on matte vs. shimmer bronzers?
Thanks in advance! OH and in the summer I'm a NC40 THANKS

I've tried tons of bronzers...TONS! My favorite (and NOT just because it's MAC, I swear) is the MAC bronzer in Golden. Its awesome! To me, it gives a matte look with *very* light gold flecks that you can seriously barely notice. It's like a light shimmer without that "pearlized" effect.

Maybe try a powder in the next darkest shade? That's what I do when I want a matte bronzed look.

thanks! I'm going to take a look at MAC's golden/refined golden and see how that looks compared to NARS bronzers! still not sure if i want a matte or shimmery one yet tho

I like Fusions' bronzers because they are not sparkley and have natural tones. I thought Guerlain was good, but Fusion makes the most remarkable bronzers and they are full of antoxidants and ingrediants that improve the quality of skin.

Try Benefit's Hoola. It's a matte bronzer that looks brown, not orange at all.

This sounds really funny but today I walked into mac searching for the same thing, I ended up purchasing NC 55 select sheer pressed powder even though I'm an NC 15! anyways the artist helping applied it lightly all over and it gave a very natural finish, not too matte or shimmery! so yah, go to mac and give it a try

I like matte bronzers.. my faves are Cargo Matte medium, Trish McEvoy matte Light (there's Dark too) and Scott Barnes, which is matte and he has 2 shades.
