Makeup Newbie. Help finding perfect bronzer

Hello for reference. I wear a Nars Light reflecting foundation in Huahine or a L’Oréal true match foundation in N7.

 

I recently purchased Nars Laguna cream bronzer in the color 04 and was told it makes me look a bit orange. I went to Ulta and a sales representative recommended to me hourglass ambient bronzer in nude bronze light which in the store when I was not wearing make up it did show on me. When I got home and I was playing around with my make up on top of my foundation I couldn’t see it.  


I am very much a make up newbie. Can anyone give me some options for bronzer that are not too warm, neutral tone, and easily blendable? When I went to give this information to the Ulta associate, she recommended me using a contour instead, if I’m looking for some to snatch me up, but I’m just honestly looking for something that brings a little bit of warmth to my face without me coming off as orange

@gabgang, ehhh... you could use a contour, but I wouldn't.  It wouldn't give the right tone, contour is usually grey for creating a shadow.  (Also, you can contour with bronzer and blush on that note.)

 

Danessa Myricks has a deep bronzer, it's slightly warm, but not too orange.  The shade range is limited, there's just 3. Danessa Myricks Beauty Power Bronzer Cream Bronzer .

 

Rare beauty also has a few deep Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Warm Wishes Effortless Cream Bronzer Stick 

 

Fenty has great bronzers for deep tones, as well as LYS.  LYS Beauty No Limits Matte Bronzer Powder & LYS Beauty No Limits Cream Bronzer and Contour Stick Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer  & Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer .  The cream bronzers in fenty are a little cooler toned than the bronzers IMO, but I like the powder ones better.  They hard pan, but I didn't find it to be a problem problem, just an minor annoyance
