12 Great Bronzers For Fair Skin

While I’ve come to terms with being super pale, that doesn’t mean that I don’t like a little warming up like the next girl.

But finding the best bronzers for fair skin can be a challenge – most are too orange or brown to work on me and turn me into a bit of an oompa loompa. Bronzers that work best for paler skin tones when they are a bit cooler toned (translation: on the gray-brown/taupe side).

If you suffer from this issue, than this post is for you.

Check out some ofthe best bronzers for fair skin to warm up your complexion in the most natural looking way.

1. TooFaced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in “Milk Chocolate”

The lightest shade of this matte long-lasting, buildable bronzer is “Milk Chocolate” and it works for paler skin tones that can’t handle deep browns or warm tinted bronzers.

It’s also infused with 100% real cocoa powder as a delicious extra feature and comes in a smaller travel size if you can’t leave home without it.

2. Physician’s Formula Murumuru Butter Light Bronzer

What beauty blogger hasn’t raved about this drugstore bronzer yet?

I picked up the Physician’s Formula Murumuru “Light” Butter Bronzer while innocently browsing the beauty isle at Walmart. Butter Bronzer has the most AMAZING smell – like coconut sunscreen – I always take a huge whiff of it before I apply it to distract myself from the chaos of life.

Its rippled powder is infused with Murumuru butter and has a super silky texture that leaves a slight sheen on the skin for a pop of warm radiance. Infused with essential fatty acids and vitamins to hydrate, it also includes soft-focus pigments to blur skin imperfections. While I don’t think anything will transform me into a bronzed goddess, this stuff does give my pale skin a great glow.

There’s no mirror with this bronzer, but it does come with a brush if you need one.
