If you have fair skin, you may have had trouble finding a bronzer in the past that doesn’t look, well, ridiculous.
In my experience, I’ve often found bronzers too muddy, warm, and overly pigmented to really work on my relatively fair skin tone.
So, we’re here to put together the best bronzers and contours for fair skin to help you achieve your bronzed and glowy makeup goals.
How to choose a bronzer for fair to light skin tones
For a natural look, your bronzer should only be one or two shades darker than your natural skin tone, which can be why those with paler skin often struggle when shopping.
A seamless look can also be created by figuring out the undertone of your skin (either cool, neutral or warm) and choosing a bronzer shade accordingly.
A safe bet for lighter skin tones is a mosaic palette with dark and light shades that you can blend for glowy skin.
Opting for an illuminating bronzer or a more translucent formula will always make it easier to lightly warm up fair skin.
The best bronzers for warm undertones
If your skin has warm undertones, you should opt for golden and honey tones in your makeup, which still maintain a light tone and a soft pigmentation.
