Hi Maaike I don’t use bronzer 😂. I have such a cool undertone that they always look weird, muddy, dirty, yellow or the dreaded orange 🍊. I love blush and use it to shape my face. Sometimes I use two shades of blush for more shape. Most of these would look yellow weird or orange/peach (aka pastel orange). I did buy the Elf one ages ago to try, but it still looks like dirt on my face😂. I’m someone who has never ever had a “tan”. I go lobster red and back to white with no change in between- I don’t even peel. I also get bad prickly heat so I’m always slathering spf and looking for shade😂. My rosacea is also very heat and sun sensitive so I avoid getting too much sun. I’m much more comfortable sitting under a massive umbrella or covered up. I don’t have a large forehead so blush works really well for me. I don’t contour either btw as it just looks like dirt too. I’m fine with being pale and accepted it many years ago. Best wishes x
I'm almost identical, although with dark hair and dark brown, almost black eyes, and it took me over 20 yrs to find a bronzer that worked since I don't tan; my brother used to say that I burned and went back to "glow in the dark". My first and still favorite bronzer is Guerlain Terracotta Healthy Glow 00 Light Cool, which is a mix of light neutral brown and cool pink blush, so it gives a natural fading sunburn look, never muddy, orange or fake. Also, unlike most products, it's subtle and almost impossible to overdo, even with a heavy hand.
Hello, Maaike! I’m exactly that person who has given up on trying to find a bronzer to fit my skintone. I’m someone who starts burning in the sun within 15 minutes of exposure if I don’t have a minimum of 50+ broad spectrum SPF, plus I have mild rosacea which makes my cheeks look slightly blotchy in areas, so I’m definitely on that train of trying to constantly cancel redness & some mottling. I do end up using this darker, cooler brown Esteé Lauder blush in the discontinued shade Acorn as a contour & bronzer substitute, as it’s neutral enough to work as both a contour & as a bronzer substitute around the parameter of my face if needed without looking muddy or weird. I also like to do a bit of slight blush-draping which works better for me than trying to “bronze” most of the time, as my hair is dyed a very dark yet cool-toned orchid color. Needless to say, blush-draping with lavender blush works remarkably well! I figure if the whole bronzing system doesn’t really work for me, I’ll just create my own system instead that actually does work! 😄👍💜
Blush draping is something I always feel looks great on everyone else, but on my long face... Nah it makes my face look even longer. So I feel it never works well.
@@FloatinginDreams , yes, it can definitely be tricky depending on one’s individual face shape & what options there are. I have a fairly wide forehead myself & find that I have to limit the draping to my temples, connecting my blush (& highlighter too) a bit higher up on my cheekbones than I used to. ☺️ Thank heavens for contour too, as I’m starting to get the slight jowls that come from gravity with aging (yet another change in my face shape to navigate). Haha! 😄
I wholeheartedly agree with using „contour” products as bronzers - my favourite one is actually contour stick for Westman Atelier, I haven't found a product that looks as natural on my fair-greenish complexion. Even Tom Ford Terra (which is supposed to be a holy grail when it comes to bronzers for pale folks) looks really orange on me. And yay for emphasizing that it's not needed to use bronzer! When I first started watching YT it seemed like such an important step in daily makeup that could never be skipped and one that would suit everybody. I learned over time that with my coloring bronzer is actually kind of whatever and nothing bad happens when I don’t use it. (And when I was reading about color analysis for winter seasons, it was often mentioned that bronzer doesn’t really work that well for winters)
As a cool-neutral light skinned gal, I clicked SO FAST!! Lolol "if we're an expensive brand we need expensive names " 😂😂😂 ACCURATE😂 I love the Elf and Makeup Revolution as well! I have the Rare Beauty bronzer on order so I can't wait to try it! Contour DOES act as a bronzer on cool toned gals. Love these videos for cool undertones!
@@FloatinginDreams I don't remember the shade I got but I think it's the lightest one. I like a natural look as well. I've never tried a stick bronzer! Been wearing makeup for 33 years.....always powders!
I am so pale I can make everyone else look tanned!! Irish pale and red hair and my only tan was out of a bottle. I am only getting into makeup because I could never find anything light enough for me. I now live in London and have found kiko and am in love!!! I am using the kiko face palette in shade 1 and have been getting so many compliments on how well it suits me. I going to watch the blush one next and can't wait to see the highlight version. Also would love to see a face palette version in the future
I don't have enough face palettes to do a video as I don't use them. They sit in my collection unused. My most used face palette is a very old Sleek thing that was discontinued years ago.
Another great video Maaike! I love your videos even though I have the opposite skin tone of yours - my skin tone is warm medium with an olive undertone. I like how you talk about skin tone and undertones. Your content is fabulous 😊
I have naturally pasty skin with icy cool undertones. I do tan somewhat easily, i don't burn. It may be red for a few hours, but turns tan. I began going to the tanning bed this past week (I wanted to become evenly tanned once in my life). My first ever bronzer was Rare Beauty Power Boost- pulled orange and muddy on me. But, im very into makeup, so i decided to try cool tones. Bright Side will be a good, subtle cream bronzer for when ive achieved my tan level. I bought Mac Light Rosy- returned it today because shockingly, it was too light! I bought the second to darkest shade, with red tones- magic on cool pale skin.
Hi Maaike, thank you for this video! I usually struggle to find bronzers for fair skin. One of the best solutions I found is the Bronze & Sculpt Trio Palette in shade Fair of One/Size. The shades are really perfect for fair skin and the powders are really long lasting. Highly recommended!
As a cool toned ultra fair skinned person I can only use Gucci 01 fair and Laura Geller fair baked bronzers as yellow or orange tones look unnatural on me.
It's not inexpensive, but MAC has a blush called "Harmony" which works amazing well as a bronzer on fair cool-toned skin. It's a perfect combination of mauve and taupe, and is much more flattering on me than any pure taupe/brownish bronzers I've tried.
the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush bronzer in fair is perfect if you are cool tone and wanted a sun kissed look. They're pricey but the pallet is so big it's worth it.
Again. So useful. Thank you. I just got the soft sculpt skin enhancer from Mario in light. Looking forward to using it. Looks very natural and pretty on you.
Very interesting video! It's amazing how skin undertone changes the color of the bronzer. I have some of the bronzers you mentioned and look so different on me! For example, Kiko is almost grayish on my skin 😂 You had some great picks though 👍
I really like the Nabla and Kiko powder bronzers and although I'm light with a neutral/olive undertone, I can build them up to work for me. Also pulled out the The Body Shop bronzer the other day, that also works very well in wintertime.
@@FloatinginDreams That's the one. Great bronzer with flimsy packaging. Hit pan on my first pan when the lid broke. Lid broke on my 2nd one as well bud managed to depot and put into better packaging from a highlighter I no longer usesd.
One question, did u try the pro tint from technic? (Pampas beige tone) Or.. the w7 foundation glow time radiant foundation(tone, porcelain glow)? Btw I loved your video❤
I can't really find those brands here. At least not easily and the stores I van buy them from are low budget stores that are messy, picked over and generally have bad stock. So no I haven't tried them.
@@FloatinginDreams you are absolutely right, I can often take good advice from your videos though, I was just a little surprised about my own perception of my skin lightness. Please go on presenting the products, it is so helpful while many others just promote what is fashionable

Yes for embracing the paleness!
Hi Maaike! Thank you sooo much. I've been trying to find good cool toned bronzers for years... Have a lovely week!
Hope there are some good ones for you here.
I love your mantra of using products how they work for you

2016 makeup was all about the bronzes and the warm tones. We need makeup to work for use, not the other way round.
Great video, like a fun makeup class! I appreciate the commentary about how to use bronzer if you are able to tan or not.
As a cool-neutral light skinned gal, I clicked SO FAST!! Lolol "if we're an expensive brand we need expensive names " 😂😂😂 ACCURATE😂 I love the Elf and Makeup Revolution as well! I have the Rare Beauty bronzer on order so I can't wait to try it! Contour DOES act as a bronzer on cool toned gals. Love these videos for cool undertones!
I love the Rare Beauty very natural on for me. More of a spring/ summer pick for me though as it can be a little bit deep for the dead of winter.
@@FloatinginDreams I don't remember the shade I got but I think it's the lightest one. I like a natural look as well. I've never tried a stick bronzer! Been wearing makeup for 33 years.....always powders!
Moira’s face sculpt liquid contour in fair light is a good bronzer color for me. I love the matte finish.

If I see it I will have to check it out. One Size is not for sale here.
As a cool toned ultra fair skinned person I can only use Gucci 01 fair and Laura Geller fair baked bronzers as yellow or orange tones look unnatural on me.
I had a Laura Geller bronzer years ago. It was too warm toned for me. (don't remember what it was but it was a baked product?)
@@FloatinginDreams The LG fair one is cool pink toned and is similar to Gucci 01 fair bronzer.
It's not inexpensive, but MAC has a blush called "Harmony" which works amazing well as a bronzer on fair cool-toned skin. It's a perfect combination of mauve and taupe, and is much more flattering on me than any pure taupe/brownish bronzers I've tried.

Probably the lightest bronzer ever lol.

I hope you love it as much as I do.
Well this is the video I was looking for I'll have to watch this later
Well done and very informative! Thank you!

Like I said: I use contours as bronzers, precisely because of this.
I really like the Nabla and Kiko powder bronzers and although I'm light with a neutral/olive undertone, I can build them up to work for me. Also pulled out the The Body Shop bronzer the other day, that also works very well in wintertime.
I used to have a TBS bronzer waaay back in the day that I loved. Some honey thing? Do you remember that?
@@FloatinginDreams That's the one. Great bronzer with flimsy packaging. Hit pan on my first pan when the lid broke. Lid broke on my 2nd one as well bud managed to depot and put into better packaging from a highlighter I no longer usesd.
I definitely want to try the Makeup by Mario crème bronzer.
It is a beautiful product. Worth the hype for sure.
So beautiful.
Great advice and tips.....
Have a great weekend
Same to you
Medium olive with cool undertones
I use Peri Pera and I love it
One question, did u try the pro tint from technic? (Pampas beige tone) Or.. the w7 foundation glow time radiant foundation(tone, porcelain glow)? Btw I loved your video❤

@@FloatinginDreams Okey! Thx❤️
I hope the textured wall is not the popcorn type that may contain asbestos - please becareful!
Thanks for your concern but A it's not popcorn texture and B it's a concrete wall.
💗💗💗
Oh, I thought, I had fair skin, but these light bronzers would not show on my skin at all. Nice video nevertheless!
Fair skin is also a spectrum.
