Bronzers for Asian skintones?

[SHEXYchiquita]

I always have trouble finding bronzers that are the right color for my Asian skintone. When I get tan, my color is more of a reddish/golden brown and many makeup companies create their bronzers to work with Caucasian skintones. Also, so many bronzers are also overly glittery. I can deal with slight shimmer but too much looks fake. I've already tried Nars Casino and Laguna, Benefit Hoola, Cargo's bronzers, as well as MAC Bronze. Any other suggestions.

Milani sunset beach blush at drugstores, no kidding.

I read in a magazine that asian complexions should choose iridescent gold powders, 'warm' shades and avoid dark/pinkish/orangish tones

the magazine suggested Revlon limited edition bare bronze face powder and L'oreal glam bronze bronzing powder in seductive sunset. they're both cheap, so i think it's worth a try.

I'm using Almay's all over bronzer and Wet 'n' Wild Acapulco glow..which really does nothing but highlight.

hope that helps and good luck!

I have read that Bobbi Brown is good for asian skintone. It doesn't contain any shimmers though.

Silly Q, but why do people use bronzers?
Is it to get a 'tanned shimmery' look?

No to look sun kissed as if u do it naturally it might turn out to be harmful...Bronzer adds a warmth to the complexion and makes you look healthy.
A brozer applied in the right manner and at right places accentuates the contours of the face making them defined in a subtle way.
The beach look can be only achieved with bronzers without going on a beach.

and not only going with trend but i prefer matte and semi matte bronzers over my clients and then a shimmery blush on top of it.
Shimmery bronzers just look so fauz pas..

Yes, that's nice. Friend of mine (she's Asian), tried it. I also like Lancaster product. It's not sticky.

I've experimented with a bunch of bronzers before I found one that works the best for me, which Warmth by Bare Escentuals. I really like it because you can layer it on for different effects. I did also like Cargo and Stila, but the Warmth has won me over.

Dior products tend to have a lot of yellow undertones. and they recently released a line of matte Bronzers with SPF 20.

besides that, Guerlain Terracotta has a bronzer for men which is also matte (ish).

Bobbi Brown bronzer is fantastic.

I'm asian and I use Mac loose powder in "golden bronze", its the loose one tho, not the one in a compact and its amazing, it makes me look glowy.

Wow, this thread is from 2006!

I used to use T. Leclerc's bronze powder; it's a bit on the shimmery side though but when I'm very tan it matches well and really reflects the light so you can't see blemishes.

I also have Stila's Bronze Trio, which has 3 different shades of bronze with a smaller amount of shimmer and the powder is finer. It can be used for the eyes or face as a highlighter.
