Contour Bronzer Colour -Pale/fair skin tone

[Anonymous]

I hate looking orange, would anybody know a contour colour and or bronzer for acne prone pale skin tone. ...Or contour set?

My go-to is BENEFIT COSMETICS - Hoola Matte Bronzer - Hoola Lite. I also find that Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer from the drugstore (also recommended by @tastelikewater) is another viable option for my pasty white skin.

I've been eyeing TARTE - Park Ave Princess™ Bronzer & Contour Paletteand would love to hear how other pale AF makeup lovers find that one.

Hi @Anneer3!

If you search around the board here, you will find other posts on this same question. As an example, you might find this thread helpful:

My personal favourite (as mentioned in the above thread) is KEVYN AUCOIN - The Sculpting Contour Powder The shade in medium is great because I find it has a cool undertone. I've swatched both light and medium in this thread, if it helps:.

I find that the medium shade can be used with a light hand so that it isn't too dark, but it's the cool undertone that really mimics shadow well. However, the light shade is also a great option. 

Theres a small duo with the sculpting powder and celestial highlight: http://www.sephora.com/the-contour-duo-on-go-P415194?skuId=1871862&icid2=products%20grid415194

or there's a larger palette with other shades for you to try. Both products have small pans, just so you're aware.

As for bronzer, I recommend Guerlain Terracotta - they have some very light options available!

My skin sounds similar to yours, and two of my favorites actually come from the drugstore: Catrice Prime and Fine Contouring Palette (just the contour, the highlighter is subpar), and Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer in the lighter shade. If you're looking for something Sephora sells, I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen many of our pale sisters rave about the Fenty Match Stix Matte Skinstick in Amber as a contour shade.

@Anonymous  I know what a struggle it can be to find a good bronzer when you have fair skin.

I have found two that I really like that don't turn brown or orange on me, but make me look like I've been out in the sun.

The first is by Anastasia of Beverly Hills Powder Bronzer.  The product page gives instructions on how to decide which shade to choose.  This was very accurate for me.

The second bronzer I really like is Becca's Sunlit Bronzer in Bali Sands.  It's out of stock right now, but this worked in the same manner as Anastasia's bronzer, but it is a little lighter in shade.  This might be my favorite one.
