Finding a contour that doesn't pull orange can be a challenge. My kryptonite is orangy contour and glitter in highlighter. I wish the companies would listen to their clients about this. Thanks Jen. Blessings!
The fact that you use bronzer for a bronzer and not contour is one of the reasons why I follow you! Make up is personal and versatile, but I personally can’t drive it with using bronzer for contour. Have you tried the Maybelline city bronzer? The lightest shade looks quite fair-skin friendly!
I actually recently purchased the L’Oréal True Match powder in C5 to use as a bronzer and it works great for my pale skin tone. I needed something that would blend, was not shimmery and was cool toned. Works for me!
What a good idea! I only just discovered that powder and love it! I use it directly on top of my Cerave Day Lotion SPF 30 just in my t-zone, and blend, blend, blend. Then I use a non-shimmer bronzer instead of blush, and put the bronzer on my eyelids as a shadow. It is my perfect no- makeup makeup. With a neutral face, I can also use a stronger lip color.
Another great idea for a video, Jen!!! With my fair skin I really dislike looking orange as well!! I just got the Milani one and I wish now that I had grabbed #2 instead of the #1...Great info and love the idea for Friday 5's!! Thanks again!! xo Gina S
I also love the Milani bronzer! I found it by accident at our grocery store, and I was on a hunt for a cool tone bronzer. I am determined to find the best drug store products because I am tired of paying for high end products. Sometimes the less expensive things have to much scent, but the Milani bronzer is awesome and does not have a scent. I think it blends beautifully. I also put it on my eyelids. I wear bronzer but no blush, and blend it really well. Thanks for your review!
That's a good idea. I never thought of using the powder bronzer on the body. I hate those spray tan canisters. I can never apply it evenly and it always streaks and gets in my nails. Thank you for this video 🤗
So I have a very warm, medium-tan skin tone, but I still use the same Physicians Formula bronzer! It just warms the skin in a natural way so I don't look flat. I'm super interested in trying out the Milani ones, they look beautiful! Thank you for the video, I'm excited for series as a whole!
I am very fair but have a yellow undertone (when I tan, I don’t turn golden, I look jaundiced 🤦🏻♀️), and Milani bronzer 01 is perfect like you suggested. Thanks for this video. You do an excellent job!
@@JenPhelps Hey Jen, Thank you for the video. What are your thoughts on the Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer in Bronzer vs the light bronzer color one? Is one of them warmer?
@@redss111 I like the Bronzer shade better than the light one! It's the perfect cooler tone for my skin! The light one pulls a little too yellow on me. :)
I have the butter bronzer and the milani bronzer, I love the butter bronzer but have not tried the milani one yet. After watching this, I am excited to try it out!
I’m getting that bronzer brush. I’m glad drugstore bronzers are getting better. I remember when they were all orange. That’s why I never did bronzer until recently.
I'm currently using the Physicians Formula Happy Booster Bronzer. I've been using it for probably about two years and you can barely tell it's been used. I love how the Milani bronzer #2 looks so it just might be time for a change.
I also have fair skin and self tanners scare me, but I wanted some color last summer so I tried the Jergens Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer in fair / medium (they also have one for deeper skin tones) and it worked really well! It's about $8.50 at Target, has a nice scent and my skin felt great. It takes a few days of consistent use to notice the color because it's gradual, but I would recommend giving it a try.
Thanks for the tips and suggestions. 😊👍 I stopped spending on and using selftanners long ago.. and have never been much of a sun powder person, I accept that I am mostly pale all year round..I lean cooler also. Pale and cooltoned bronzers are a bit harder to find, so I don't concern myself about that much anymore. Sun protection and a lovely lux blush is my thing when the sun comes out.
I've never gotten into self tanning or any tanning really. I'll stay pasty white, I was born a very ghostly girl and have embraced that I will always be. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the recommendations I'm always looking for a good bronzer that doesn't go too red or orange on me. I love the balm bronzer.
If you haven't tried the oldie but a goody, Nars Laguna bronzer, I adore it. I'm an NC10-15, and though I do have a real yellow undertone, I find it doesn't pull orange at all and just looks so healthy and natural.
Beauddiction I use it for travel. It has a very pretty blush, a subtle highlight, and a cooler- toned bronzer with a nice sheen. It’s only $6- it’s definitely worth a try! ☺️ They actually have 3 shades; I’ve only tried the middle one, because the bronzer looked so promising.
L. H. Wonderful! Let me know if you like it. ☺️ Also, I learned about it from Tanika Jaun here on TH-cam. She has a video, I think it’s called “Fair Skin Favorites,” where she mentions it. She’s used it in several videos.
Amberger Helper I love it!! I’ll definitely use this, especially when traveling 😊 Great recommendation. And, Rimmel had an Ibotta deal so it was only $4.
Bondi Sands came out with a dry oil self tanner and I love love love it on my pale skin and I am not having streaking or dry patches. I use a mitt with it and then add the gradual tanner to my hands.
The only one of those I have is the Butter bronzer. I also have a very pink skin tone so very tan or orangey bronzers don't look good at all, they clash. My top favorites are Laura Geller Bronze n Brighten, Doll 10 Golden Pearl and my old original Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess. These all have a pink or reddish undertone to them. Oh, and Bare Minerals original Warmth works too. TFS, good video idea.
I use MAC Sculpt for the perfect cool bronze for my fair skin. Hoola is too yellow for me. I also like The Balm Oliver. Tarte Clay Play palette has "Desert" which is also cool.
I love this Friday Five idea! Sometimes when I"m on the lookout for a new bronzer/highlight, etc..it's hard to choose..I'm so pale and fair skinned most bronzers look way too dark on me lol. I've been wanting to try the Milani Bronzers but was unsure of what shade to go with..I'm going to def try #2!
I am normally not a fan of self tanners but recently purchased the Josie Maran one off QVC and am in love! It was super easy to use and didn't streak or get patchy. It's super natural looking and actually hydrated my skin! Might be one to try if you haven't already.
Love the Top 5 idea. All of these bronzers are or sound (I haven’t tried them all) beautiful. I use the Balm and actually only just started to use the Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer. I’ve been hearing great things about the Milani. One that I like and use a great deal is from Essence. It’s their Luminous Matt (not the regular matte) Bronzing Powder. It fantastic for fair skin and is just lovely. Plus it’s super inexpensive:) Thanks for the recommendations, gorgeous🍃🌸.
I want to try the Milani one, I have the balm, the butter bronzer and I also use too faces matte chocolate Soleil- I thought it might be too dark on my light skin but it looks good. Also, I got in all my shoplush palletes and wow they are amazing quality!
@@lamkeyan I flirt with others, including a few on this list, but I do return to it frequently! And it smells like chocolate, so .. a little extra dab in the cleavage!
@@janicecrosby1986 they do smell so good. I just got the chocolate bon bon eye eyeshadow when they were 50% off and omg that one smells so good too, like hot cocoa mix.
I really appreciate this. I’ve bought a few bronzers from Rimmel to OUCH Estée Lauder!!! I’m a very cool tone NW10-15. I’ve given up on self tanner too, I don’t tan, I freckle & burn. I’m pretty much embracing the radioactive pale look but.... I would love to have more options. I did buy one that works from the Body Shop. It’s their Honey one & comes in 4 or more matte shades. I have #02 and the only complaint is that the case hinge breaks easily. I’m trying to figure out how to depot it. But it’s nice to finally have other options that won’t go orange or that oh so attractive “I got desperate & streaked mud all over”! I’m going to try the bare Minerals! Then maybe the Milani #2. Such a great video
I have both the PF and Milani bronzers, alternate between. If I want a little more glow I use the L’Oreal True Match Lumi Bronze It bronzer which has a slight shimmer. It’s also cooler toned (in the Light shade) and tons of product for the $.
As a fellow fair gal - neutral to slightly warm toned - I concur! Butter Bronzer in “Bronzer” & the one from TheBalm are my go to faves. And it’s SO true that - b/c of the tone - the shade Bronzer is better than Light Bronzer for fair skin; it’s hardly at all darker but the more neutral tone is much better for most who are fair. I’ve been debating whether to try the new Milani & I’d say you’ve convinced me! PS have you tried a self tanning water? That’s what is managed to turn me into a self-tanner fan after years of having less than positive feelings.
I think it all depends on the skin.- which is so frustrating! The Physicians Formula pulls orange on me whether it's the original, the light, or the deep. Kathleenlights wore that stuff straight through 2018 and it pulled orange on her too. Ugh!
jenny koppy They pull orange on me as well. Have you tried the Essence Luminous Matt bronzer in Fair (I believe it’s fair, it’s the lightest shade anyway)? It looks so lovely on me. It’s neutral, and I never have to worry about using to much. The lightest bronzer I have ever come across.
Kara Creswell No! Never heard of it- but I'll try it. I'd say my skin is light-medium with neutral undertones. I'm going to put foundation on my arm and try them all again! My new trick is to use a liquid bronzer, even if it pulls a bit orange, buff it in, then go over it with foundation. I was scared at first, but it worked!!!!
I wonder if it’s your skin reacting to the coconut butter/oil in it? It works well for me and I’m super fair (too fair for most Mac foundation) with neutral leaning cool undertones. Even the deep bronzer works great for me when I use a light hand and a giant brush
Would love to see your favorite cream bronzer/contours! I use them almost exclusively in the dryer winter months, and I definitely struggle finding a good one for fair skin.
Kara Creswell I use the Maybelline Facestudio Master Contour Duo Stick in light. The contour side is the perfect shade for cool tone, pale skin. I don’t use the highlight side.
L. H. Just did a quick search online and can’t seem to find it in stock anywhere. Is it being discontinued? If you have minute, let me know where you buy yours in store so that maybe I can find it that way.
I think it Emily Noel mentioned in a video that the shade in the upper left side of the elf Bronze Beauty bronzer quad is a good dupe for the Marc Jacobs bronzer. Obviously the pan size is a lot smaller but I own the quad and it is a really nice shade... I would love to try the balm anti orange bronzers but for now my go to cool toned bronzers that I use to contour are the elf one I mentioned along with the other matte shade in that quad, and a Beauty Benefits of Hollywood bronzer in Espresso that I actually found at Dollar tree. It's the cheapest cool toned bronzer I've ever come across and the formula is very nice, I had to buy two of them. I also enjoy the Wet n' wild Dulce de Leche contour duo but that one is more on the neutral side.
I'm sure you're totally over the self-tan thing but it may help to know that I always put a rich body butter on my dry areas (knees, elbows, etc.) and let it absorb for just a few minutes, then go ahead with the tanner. It totally solves the problem for me. Love the video! The series is going to be awesome, I think!! My favorite has been the butter bronzer but I'm hearing so many things about the Milani that I think I'm gonna have to grab it.
Aww thanks! I have tried doing that as well but I think it's because those areas on me still have a rough texture even when I apply body butter on them so they just want to grab the tanner. It stinks. ☹️
This came at the perfect time as I've been searching for a good bronzer! I'm also fair/cool toned and seem to have difficulty with bronzer pulling orange on me. I have the Butter Bronzer but have been wanting something new. :)
Hey Jen thanks for the suggestions. I absolutely love your make up. What lipstick and eyeshadow have you used for this make up look? Greetings from Greece!
I like this video, although to me, although I have a very fair skintone (almost as white as nordic or germanic people, which is pretty uncommon in Spain), like most people here I have a neutral undertone, which allows me to choose the bronzer only for its main colour, not thinking about the undertone... I almost never use bronzer, because I use to find all of them too artificial on my skin and although I go for bold lips (and sometimes eyes) I like my skin as natural as posible (most of the days I go only with a CC Cream and some powder to avoid oil in my nose). In any case recently I bought the Butter Bronzer in the lighter shade and it works pretty well for me. I also want to try the Hoola light, but as I am saying, I rarely use them because until I found the Physicians one, I found all of them to be too dark for me...
You read my mind (or my search history?) this week lol I've been looking for a fair, not-orange bronzer! I'm absolutely going to pick up the BareMinerals one and one of the Milani shades to try. I love matte formulas but I'm hoping the BareMinerals one isn't too shimmery because it looks like the best color
Thanks for your review!! I added the Milani #2 to my collection. I have fair cool toned skin and I was worried this would be too dark. But you were right, it looks amazing on me!! Thanks for the recommendation!!
Brilliant idea for a vid. Why does anyone want the orange toned bronzer. I love all your choices but I think my favourite would have to be the Milani one, I haven't got this one ...... YET 🤪🤪🤪. XXX💗💗💗 XXX
Every bronzer I have from the drugstore, even physicians formula come off orange!!?? I even bough like gray/cool concealers to bronze and they still come off orange!! This struggle is real!! Should I buy a countor palette??😏😘
Hello pretty. I am an Spanish friend watching your videos and I love your criteria. Could you tell me what makeup are you wearing on? I am thinking to buy Marc Jacob's
I'm extremely pale, & hv v deep red hair & green eyes - tbh, I've found none of it is for me, now obv, I literally cannot tan, I am incapable of getting a tan naturally, (& I learned that a while ago,) - ofc I use blush, & stick to something matte & peachy - this one is the closest, almost to the blush colour I use - but I don't put bronzer etc, on my forehead/temples or around my jawline, I'm perfectly happy, with my glowy skin, & highlight, + the blush - if you do hv a similar colouring to mine - it's important to remember; bronzer is not a "must hv" - if it does not suit you, don't worry - that glow or warmth that you want - it comes from your hair; that's why you were born with red hair - bc it lifts your pale complexion - if you were born with blonde or brown hair it wd be a problem, but luckily you weren't - & I hv tried various paler bronzers, but bronzer is just not for me, I rlly don't need it - & tbh, when I did, I used a more coppery shade, & eventually just used it where I would place my blush, to emphasise my cheekbones (I'm v slender, always hv bn -my cheekbones are v sharp.) & any professional mkup artist will tell you, you shdn't contour with bronzer, they don't; if you look at Illamasque - their contour product is a funny sort of neutral colour; almost a dark grey - & that's what professional mkup artists use - the Kardashian's love to suggest all these brown/or "darker shades of bronzer" for contouring, but actually almost all professionals won't do it that way; & some are v vocal about this - the Kardashians are also usually v fake tanned, & maybe it works for them - myself I tried fake tan for a while, but never use it now; I've always been happy with my colouring tbh, I tried fake tan bc when you wear shorts etc it seemed a good idea, but eventually I realised hvg a tan, dsn't rlly suit me. There is not a "one way fits all" I hv found - so if you're struggling re bronzer, maybe it's bc like myself, you don't need it. & if you hv the same colouring as me - what works for the K's, or Gigi Hadid/Kaia Gerber prob won't work for you, & that's fine. And my v creamy pale skin glows, I promise - nobody says "Oh your so pale & washed out," - ever, I don't wear a lot of blush, just enough, & the v pale creamy highlight I wear on my cheekbones, works v well for me - there are certain models who are massive stars, who are constantly featured at Dior, at Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, YSL etc, who hv similar colouring to mine, & as far as I can see, they never use bronzer either. (If you love it though, & it rlly suits you, then that's fine too, but it's not a must, for everybody.)🙏💜
Jen...I just watched Jaclyn Hill's favorite makeup and she mentioned that the mentioned that the Morphe Glamabronze Face & Body Bronzer is a dup for the Marc Jacobs bronzer...and it is only $19.00 on Ulta....I think I will try it out because everyone has raved about the Marc Jacobs bronzer....Just an fyi. I have not tried it myself but that is what her video said!!! Take care Jen!! xo Gina S
I would love to try that Milani bronzer but ever since it came in the market it's only been online, in their site and Ulta, not in stores. Also, Target has it on their website for $15 which is way more. Hopefully it will be available in stores soon.
@@snoopycoupon it's similar in tone...it's more cool than the others I showed. The shimmer isn't quite as intense as the bare Minerals, but definitely still shows up in sunlight a little bit.
Hi there.new to ur channel. Came over from Marnie's channel ms goldgirl. I already love ur videos. Also I'm from Ct too.keep u the great videos. Just subscribed too
Im just now trying bronzers. Im fair skin too so i get scared about using bronzer. I also have the elf total face palette that has a highlighter two blushes and a bronzer. Is that a good bronzer too?
I love the new Milani bronzer 02, then the BH Cosmetics in Golden girl and finally the L’Oréal Lumi bronze it in 01. Those are my top 3! I also like the Physicians Formula but don’t always like using fragranced products on my face-though it smells good.
From my experience, if you leave the Butter Bronzer open a bit, the smell dissipates greatly. Mine barely smells. I use it daily bc it blends so effortlessly and the tone is perfect for me. I also love the Loreal Glam Bronzer. I don't know how similar the Lumi bronzer is. I assume it's the same but considering its so big and I have a back up of the Glam Bronzer, I don't want to buy another to find out. Just cannot have all of that bronzer around! Though I do want to try the Bare Minerals bronzer but I'm trying to resist!
I’m pretty light completed & o have tan in the invisible bronzer & it’s amazing. I’ve posted about it so many times on IG. All the invisible bronzers will be discontinued sometime in 2019 so I’m definitely going to get a backup because I love it so much. The perfect neutral tone & I can never over apply. I got mine at Tj Maxx too so it was even less than $19 but I’m willing to pay that just to know for sure I’ll have it in the future 😋 I don’t have ANY backups of full size products other than mascara so it says something. Lol
Depending on the Physicians formula I would go with that. Hoola is a little bit deep for fair skin. I like the Butter Bronzer from PF in the Bronzer shade.
Thanks, I always do but it still clings. My knees aren't just dry, they're rough in texture so even with moisturizer, the tan grabs to the texture. 😭😭😭
I have your exact same skin tone and I just wanna see what you think of the Too Faced Soleil Bronzer, have you tried it? If so, which one did you try? I wanna get it and I'm not sure if I should get the Milk Chocolate or the Chocolate one, because I prefer the PF one in Bronzer as opposed to the Light Bronzer. Please let me know 😊 thank you!! Love your videos!! 🤗🤗
I actually haven't tried the TF ones but I'm thinking about picking one up since they'll be on sale during Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty! I'm leaning toward the Milk Chocolate one.
@@JenPhelps great, well, please do let me know when you pick it up, because I'm dying to get my hands on it and I don't know which one to get! My Instagram handle is @Jolina079, I'm following you on Instagram already, I'll DM you now. Thank you, you're very sweet 🤗😊
It’s SO hard finding a good bronzer for cooler toned skin!! Thanks for the recommendations!!!

I’m pretty much embracing the radioactive pale look but....
I would love to have more options. I did buy one that works from the Body Shop. It’s their Honey one & comes in 4 or more matte shades. I have #02 and the only complaint is that the case hinge breaks easily.
I’m trying to figure out how to depot it.
But it’s nice to finally have other options that won’t go orange or that oh so attractive “I got desperate & streaked mud all over”!
I’m going to try the bare Minerals! Then maybe the Milani #2.
Such a great video
I have both the PF and Milani bronzers, alternate between. If I want a little more glow I use the L’Oreal True Match Lumi Bronze It bronzer which has a slight shimmer. It’s also cooler toned (in the Light shade) and tons of product for the $.
Ooh I so want that Bare Minerals bronzer. Dare I? I usually use Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer in light or my Glam Bronzer from Loreal!
ABH has some great bronzers with unique undertones!
Thank you for this video, most bronzers pull orange on me also, going to try some of these!
This video is great and very informational. Thank you so much! I’m finally going to pick up the milani silky matte bronzer now!
I sooo needed this! Lately I've been using cream bronzer. The one from nyx is great.
Thank you. It was always a struggle to find the correct tone for my light skin.
As a fellow fair gal - neutral to slightly warm toned - I concur! Butter Bronzer in “Bronzer” & the one from TheBalm are my go to faves. And it’s SO true that - b/c of the tone - the shade Bronzer is better than Light Bronzer for fair skin; it’s hardly at all darker but the more neutral tone is much better for most who are fair.
I’ve been debating whether to try the new Milani & I’d say you’ve convinced me!
PS have you tried a self tanning water? That’s what is managed to turn me into a self-tanner fan after years of having less than positive feelings.
Bronzer is my favorite makeup product 😋
Yes! Thank you!😊
I have been trying to find the right shade for me but just couldn’t decide, these are all great!
I think it all depends on the skin.- which is so frustrating! The Physicians Formula pulls orange on me whether it's the original, the light, or the deep. Kathleenlights wore that stuff straight through 2018 and it pulled orange on her too. Ugh!
jenny koppy They pull orange on me as well. Have you tried the Essence Luminous Matt bronzer in Fair (I believe it’s fair, it’s the lightest shade anyway)? It looks so lovely on me. It’s neutral, and I never have to worry about using to much. The lightest bronzer I have ever come across.
jenny koppy it pulls orange on me too!!💔
Kara Creswell No! Never heard of it- but I'll try it. I'd say my skin is light-medium with neutral undertones. I'm going to put foundation on my arm and try them all again! My new trick is to use a liquid bronzer, even if it pulls a bit orange, buff it in, then go over it with foundation. I was scared at first, but it worked!!!!
I wonder if it’s your skin reacting to the coconut butter/oil in it? It works well for me and I’m super fair (too fair for most Mac foundation) with neutral leaning cool undertones. Even the deep bronzer works great for me when I use a light hand and a giant brush
The Milani bronzer is perfection!
Any idea which milani bronzer she used? I'm trying to purchase online but these shades have names vs numbers 🙄
That BM bronzer is my favorite. Yes, I too am impressed you actually bronze and do not brontour!
Brontour!! 😂😂😂 I love it!
I love that kind of video, great idea. And the best is that I have the same skin colour as you, red undertone. Love it. Thank you from Quebec. By by
Thanks for the tip about using the bronzing powder on exposed areas of body skin, when necessary. That might be a better option for me as well 💙
Awesome review! I use Too Faced and Kylie but I can always use another! The Milani looks gorgeous.
I have the Phycians Formula one I love it but I may grab the Bare minerals one in the Ulta sale coming up! Love your videos
Still searching for that perfect bronzer!! Right now I just settle for NYX and Lorac. Think I will give the Malani and the Bam a try
Great video. You have been making informational and amazing videos. Love 💗 it!!!!
I like the Friday five video idea- looking forward to them! I love bronzer and it was nice to see a video devoted to it.
Such a great video Jen....so everyday useful. Thank you!!!!!!!!🇨🇦💁🏼
Would love to see your favorite cream bronzer/contours! I use them almost exclusively in the dryer winter months, and I definitely struggle finding a good one for fair skin.
Kara Creswell I use the Maybelline Facestudio Master Contour Duo Stick in light. The contour side is the perfect shade for cool tone, pale skin. I don’t use the highlight side.
L. H. Thank you so much! I haven’t tried that one, but now I have to. 🙏🏻
L. H. Just did a quick search online and can’t seem to find it in stock anywhere. Is it being discontinued? If you have minute, let me know where you buy yours in store so that maybe I can find it that way.
I think it Emily Noel mentioned in a video that the shade in the upper left side of the elf Bronze Beauty bronzer quad is a good dupe for the Marc Jacobs bronzer. Obviously the pan size is a lot smaller but I own the quad and it is a really nice shade... I would love to try the balm anti orange bronzers but for now my go to cool toned bronzers that I use to contour are the elf one I mentioned along with the other matte shade in that quad, and a Beauty Benefits of Hollywood bronzer in Espresso that I actually found at Dollar tree. It's the cheapest cool toned bronzer I've ever come across and the formula is very nice, I had to buy two of them. I also enjoy the Wet n' wild Dulce de Leche contour duo but that one is more on the neutral side.
Always love your content. You have such a fresh, naturally pretty look.
New here from Marnie's page! (MsGoldenGirl) Great video! I have a hard time with bronzers myself. I'll be checking these out. Thanks so much!
Hi Elaine! Thank you so much for stopping by! 😊❤️
I'm sure you're totally over the self-tan thing but it may help to know that I always put a rich body butter on my dry areas (knees, elbows, etc.) and let it absorb for just a few minutes, then go ahead with the tanner. It totally solves the problem for me.
Love the video! The series is going to be awesome, I think!! My favorite has been the butter bronzer but I'm hearing so many things about the Milani that I think I'm gonna have to grab it.
Aww thanks! I have tried doing that as well but I think it's because those areas on me still have a rough texture even when I apply body butter on them so they just want to grab the tanner. It stinks. ☹️
Awwww! That is such a bummer. Self tanning is like a ritual for me sometimes lol. It's very risky though!
This came at the perfect time as I've been searching for a good bronzer! I'm also fair/cool toned and seem to have difficulty with bronzer pulling orange on me. I have the Butter Bronzer but have been wanting something new. :)
Hey Jen thanks for the suggestions. I absolutely love your make up. What lipstick and eyeshadow have you used for this make up look? Greetings from Greece!
great choices i also love them but my favorite is the milk chocolate by TOO FACED
And it is half price at Ulta on April 5!!
I like this video, although to me, although I have a very fair skintone (almost as white as nordic or germanic people, which is pretty uncommon in Spain), like most people here I have a neutral undertone, which allows me to choose the bronzer only for its main colour, not thinking about the undertone... I almost never use bronzer, because I use to find all of them too artificial on my skin and although I go for bold lips (and sometimes eyes) I like my skin as natural as posible (most of the days I go only with a CC Cream and some powder to avoid oil in my nose). In any case recently I bought the Butter Bronzer in the lighter shade and it works pretty well for me. I also want to try the Hoola light, but as I am saying, I rarely use them because until I found the Physicians one, I found all of them to be too dark for me...
I love the Hoola light. It allows you to use a bronzer and still look natural.
Is there names listed on the Milani bronzers? I don't see numbers available for the shades
You read my mind (or my search history?) this week lol I've been looking for a fair, not-orange bronzer! I'm absolutely going to pick up the BareMinerals one and one of the Milani shades to try. I love matte formulas but I'm hoping the BareMinerals one isn't too shimmery because it looks like the best color
Thanks for your review!! I added the Milani #2 to my collection. I have fair cool toned skin and I was worried this would be too dark. But you were right, it looks amazing on me!! Thanks for the recommendation!!
Yay!! I'm so glad you like it! The #1 shade is very warm toned but this one isn't much darker, it just has a cooler tone which is awesome!
Loved this video! Thanks
Brilliant idea for a vid. Why does anyone want the orange toned bronzer. I love all your choices but I think my favourite would have to be the Milani one, I haven't got this one ...... YET 🤪🤪🤪. XXX💗💗💗 XXX
Every bronzer I have from the drugstore, even physicians formula come off orange!!?? I even bough like gray/cool concealers to bronze and they still come off orange!! This struggle is real!! Should I buy a countor palette??😏😘
Hello pretty. I am an Spanish friend watching your videos and I love your criteria. Could you tell me what makeup are you wearing on? I am thinking to buy Marc Jacob's
I'm extremely pale, & hv v deep red hair & green eyes - tbh, I've found none of it is for me, now obv, I literally cannot tan, I am incapable of getting a tan naturally, (& I learned that a while ago,) - ofc I use blush, & stick to something matte & peachy - this one is the closest, almost to the blush colour I use - but I don't put bronzer etc, on my forehead/temples or around my jawline, I'm perfectly happy, with my glowy skin, & highlight, + the blush - if you do hv a similar colouring to mine - it's important to remember; bronzer is not a "must hv" - if it does not suit you, don't worry - that glow or warmth that you want - it comes from your hair; that's why you were born with red hair - bc it lifts your pale complexion - if you were born with blonde or brown hair it wd be a problem, but luckily you weren't - & I hv tried various paler bronzers, but bronzer is just not for me, I rlly don't need it - & tbh, when I did, I used a more coppery shade, & eventually just used it where I would place my blush, to emphasise my cheekbones (I'm v slender, always hv bn -my cheekbones are v sharp.) & any professional mkup artist will tell you, you shdn't contour with bronzer, they don't; if you look at Illamasque - their contour product is a funny sort of neutral colour; almost a dark grey - & that's what professional mkup artists use - the Kardashian's love to suggest all these brown/or "darker shades of bronzer" for contouring, but actually almost all professionals won't do it that way; & some are v vocal about this - the Kardashians are also usually v fake tanned, & maybe it works for them - myself I tried fake tan for a while, but never use it now; I've always been happy with my colouring tbh, I tried fake tan bc when you wear shorts etc it seemed a good idea, but eventually I realised hvg a tan, dsn't rlly suit me. There is not a "one way fits all" I hv found - so if you're struggling re bronzer, maybe it's bc like myself, you don't need it. & if you hv the same colouring as me - what works for the K's, or Gigi Hadid/Kaia Gerber prob won't work for you, & that's fine. And my v creamy pale skin glows, I promise - nobody says "Oh your so pale & washed out," - ever, I don't wear a lot of blush, just enough, & the v pale creamy highlight I wear on my cheekbones, works v well for me - there are certain models who are massive stars, who are constantly featured at Dior, at Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, YSL etc, who hv similar colouring to mine, & as far as I can see, they never use bronzer either. (If you love it though, & it rlly suits you, then that's fine too, but it's not a must, for everybody.)🙏💜
Jen...I just watched Jaclyn Hill's favorite makeup and she mentioned that the mentioned that the Morphe
Glamabronze Face & Body Bronzer is a dup for the Marc Jacobs bronzer...and it is only $19.00 on Ulta....I think I will try it out because everyone has raved about the Marc Jacobs bronzer....Just an fyi. I have not tried it myself but that is what her video said!!! Take care Jen!! xo Gina S
What are you wearing on your lips ? Looks so pretty 💜
Great review for us light skinned gals! 🤗
Thanks for the great suggestions. I am pale, when I get in the sun I turn pink, not tan :). Very helpful suggestions!!
Yay! I'm so happy it was helpful! 😊❤️
I don't know how I would choose makeup colors with such golden yellow hair. You're a brave girl!
I have dark hair now so it's much easier. 👍
Check out TJ Max and Marshall’s for the Bare Minerals Bronzer. I got mine there about a month ago for like $10.
I would love to try that Milani bronzer but ever since it came in the market it's only been online, in their site and Ulta, not in stores. Also, Target has it on their website for $15 which is way more. Hopefully it will be available in stores soon.
Have you tried the L'Oreal Lumi bronzer? The lightest shade looks as though it's cooler toned And I've been eyeing that one recently.
Yes I have that one too and I love the color but it has shimmer so I don't use it that often. 😊❤️
@@JenPhelps how does the shimmer/tone in it compare to the BareMinerals bronzer?
@@snoopycoupon it's similar in tone...it's more cool than the others I showed. The shimmer isn't quite as intense as the bare Minerals, but definitely still shows up in sunlight a little bit.
Hi there.new to ur channel. Came over from Marnie's channel ms goldgirl. I already love ur videos. Also I'm from Ct too.keep u the great videos. Just subscribed too
Hi! Thank you so much for coming to check out my channel and for subscribing! I'm so happy to have you here! 😊
Have you ever tried the Loreal true match lumi bronzer
Yes I have that one too and it's nice and cool toned. It just didn't make the top 5 due to the shimmer that's in it. :)
Im just now trying bronzers. Im fair skin too so i get scared about using bronzer. I also have the elf total face palette that has a highlighter two blushes and a bronzer. Is that a good bronzer too?
Great Video! Have a fantastic weekend yall!
Have you tried Isle of Paradise self tanning drops I’m super fair verging on silver! But do find I.o.P brilliant they sell it in Sephora
Have you tried st tropez one nighter mixed with lotion for tanning ? I’m super pale and this works well for me ☺️
No I haven't but thanks for the tip! 😊❤️
Love not looking like an Oompa Loompa!! Keeping the Friday 5 going! ❤️
Yay! Thanks I'm so happy you like it!! 😊❤️
I love the new Milani bronzer 02, then the BH Cosmetics in Golden girl and finally the L’Oréal Lumi bronze it in 01. Those are my top 3! I also like the Physicians Formula but don’t always like using fragranced products on my face-though it smells good.
From my experience, if you leave the Butter Bronzer open a bit, the smell dissipates greatly. Mine barely smells. I use it daily bc it blends so effortlessly and the tone is perfect for me. I also love the Loreal Glam Bronzer. I don't know how similar the Lumi bronzer is. I assume it's the same but considering its so big and I have a back up of the Glam Bronzer, I don't want to buy another to find out. Just cannot have all of that bronzer around! Though I do want to try the Bare Minerals bronzer but I'm trying to resist!
Is there a color reference on the Milani? Is #2 suntan, or sunkissed
#2 is Sun Kissed :)
I’m pretty light completed & o have tan in the invisible bronzer & it’s amazing. I’ve posted about it so many times on IG. All the invisible bronzers will be discontinued sometime in 2019 so I’m definitely going to get a backup because I love it so much. The perfect neutral tone & I can never over apply. I got mine at Tj Maxx too so it was even less than $19 but I’m willing to pay that just to know for sure I’ll have it in the future 😋 I don’t have ANY backups of full size products other than mascara so it says something. Lol
Jamie No! I will buy a back up. It is my favorite too.
One thing I did was search all my bronzer on my arm. I found that they may not pull orange on the arm, but some will on the face😥
Yes the same happens to me all the time
Have you tried the Maybelline City Bronzer? It looks similar to the Milani one.
I have very dry textured skin. I have fair skin tone. Physicians formula bronzer or benefit hola bronzer?
Depending on the Physicians formula I would go with that. Hoola is a little bit deep for fair skin. I like the Butter Bronzer from PF in the Bronzer shade.
When you use fake tan use a moisturizer first on your knees and dry areas before you do your tan it makes a huge difference
Thanks, I always do but it still clings. My knees aren't just dry, they're rough in texture so even with moisturizer, the tan grabs to the texture. 😭😭😭
I have your exact same skin tone and I just wanna see what you think of the Too Faced Soleil Bronzer, have you tried it? If so, which one did you try? I wanna get it and I'm not sure if I should get the Milk Chocolate or the Chocolate one, because I prefer the PF one in Bronzer as opposed to the Light Bronzer. Please let me know 😊 thank you!! Love your videos!! 🤗🤗
I actually haven't tried the TF ones but I'm thinking about picking one up since they'll be on sale during Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty! I'm leaning toward the Milk Chocolate one.
@@JenPhelps great, well, please do let me know when you pick it up, because I'm dying to get my hands on it and I don't know which one to get! My Instagram handle is @Jolina079, I'm following you on Instagram already, I'll DM you now. Thank you, you're very sweet 🤗😊
In case it helps I have fair to light skin with a neutral undertone and I like the Milk Chocolate 🙂
@@jessicabrown7353 thank you, Jessica! That really helps! 😊
