i like the estee lauder powder one that comes in a large round compact--i think it is called "bronze goddess." it's really sheer and light, which is good if you have a pale complexion--it doesn't overwhelm me or cover up my freckles.
I have Laura Mercier's powder bronzer, it comes in compact. The one I have has a shimmer to it, there is also one that is matte. I like it if I don't use too much of it.

This one sounds like it might work for me, since I'm really pale. bumblebee - can you post a link to it?
i just checked their website, and it looks like they don't sell that one anymore. mine is about 2 years old at least, maybe 3 (i don't use very much at a time). there is one called "bronze goddess" but it is a matte one, and mine has a little bit of sparkle to it. it came in a blue compact, like the blushes, not the brown compact that it looks to come in now. sorry about that.
have you checked out the guerlain terra cotta ones at saks? they make a light-skin one that is very similar to the one i have.

I think so. I use it both when I have color & when I don't - when I have a natural tan I just have to put ALOT more on, but it goes on pretty light & sheer if you just put a little on. You should try it at Sephora, but I highly recommend it. Its very natural looking.

Great thanks so much for the info - I'm gonna go to sephora and check it out. Thanks again
I use the bronzer by MAC and absoluely love it! It has lasted me for sooo long and i wear it almost everyday. People always ask me if i was out in the sun and got tan (bc they know i dont go salon tanning). Its very natural looking, not orange at all. i use a minerlizing shimmer on my cheeks with it and i a great "dewy glow" with the two of them. I would definitely recommend it!

Thanks - I posted a different thread on the MAC bronzer and no one responded to me about that. I think I'll check out the MAC one first. Do you think it will look ok w/my pale skin?

This is the one you girls use right?
It comes in 5 different shades: Matte Bronze, Bronze, Golden, Refined Golden, and Refined Beyond Bronze. Since you guys are pale too, which color do you use?
