Cheap good bronzer for ultra pale skin?

pippitypip_2

As the title says really - does one exist?

I use MAC bronzer in Golden which is about £16. I'm running out and no way I can afford to replace it but everything in the shops seems so dark, I'm too scared to buy it as I can't really afford to waste my money.

If anyone has any good reccomendations I'd really appreciate it. I was kinda hoping to spend £5 or less - is that even possible?

Hi, Check out the dainty doll range on asos, designed for very pale skin, I have a lip gloss (even though I'm not pale) and its really nice, its actually made by Jelly Pong Pong its also good value. Also have a look at Rimmell, they do a bronzer with a peach bit in the middle for pale skin - hth:)

When I ditch the MAC or Benefit at times, I always go to Rimmel, think their compact is £3.99?

M&S do one for 3.00 which is good, but then I don't wear bronzer too often. I'm pale and it seemed ok to me though.

OK this is probably a duh type of question but what does bronzer do on pale skin??

Sorry not a facetious question, I've never been good at makeup

If the bronzer is too dark its the equivalent of having a too dark a foundation and you look stupid. When you are very pale you wont ever get a dark tan so a bronzer needs to give a healthy glow

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I ended up buying one in the 99p shop (not sure what brand, never heard of it before, it has 3 colours so you move your brush over all three) and obviously it was a massive bargain at 99p!!

I have to say I love it - and just have to get used to not loading the brush so much as with my MAC.

Really pleased and hope that might help someone else.

You can always give the brush a wee tap on a tissue before using. I use a mineral bronzer which looks scarily dark in the pot BUT it can be layered up nicely so I dont look like Ive been laying with my face in a sunbed all day and it warms my foundation lovely so I dont need to have two foundations on the go anymore

It's probably re-badged Revlon - there's loads of Revlon in at the moment. And you sometimes see Almay, so could be that one.

Thanks all.

I checked this morning and the brand is "Fate" - never heard of it before, it's probably made for them or something but I'm SO impressed - and what a fab bargain
