I am a NC42 as well.. I have not found a bronzer that gives me a healthy glow but NARS albatross as a highlighter is good especially at night.. For the day Refined MSF works amazingly well and I just spray a bit of Fix+ for a bonus effect.. It makes me look awake and really glowy and natural.. Refined MSF is LE and I was lucky enough to get one here on spectra in the sale forum
I cosign on the Pearlmatte powder. Since you don't like shimmer or glimmer (lol), you could also broze with a Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Dark or Deep Dark! You'll get the effect of a bronzer without the glitter. HTH
