    You are the first creator I've heard explicitly mention the fact that so many cream/liquid bronzers now are dewy/tacky/never set down and that it's not necessarily a desirable finish when it comes to bronzer. This is the exact feeling I've had for the past year - given how much of my face I apply bronzer to, the last thing I want is to apply something to my face and have my hair, dirt, and/or random fuzzies floating around sticking to it all day! As always, appreciate your insights and your work!!

    The Makeup by Mario skin enhancer is amazing for people with very fair skin because it sheers out in a very natural way. It doesn’t really look like makeup just a healthy color. Very beautiful for pale skin and not orange. Also I think very fair skin can wear the light medium shade too if they want slightly more.

    I love these videos! You take the time to be really thorough and describe color AND formula. As someone who usually shops makeup online, it's so helpful! I got excited and grabbed the Saie Dew Bronze in Salt, which is the cooler shade for fair folks. I'm waiting for it to come and I've kept kicking myself that maybe I should've gotten the Sand one or just a totally different bronzer. I'm glad you are enjoying yours and now I know it's not gonna be too glowy or pigmented since I'm even lighter than you lol.

    Phytosurgence Cream Bronzer in 02 Rosy Daybreak is absolutely beautiful and NOT orange. At all. They have more rosy toned ones. And yellow toned ones. The Mario stick pulls orange on me. Many do. But that phyto bronzer doesn’t. It is stiff. But I don’t mind that. HIGHLY SUGGEST IT for fair/cool folks. Uoma cream bronzer in white pearl is a nice runner up to the phyto - but not as perfect, for me. The milk sculpt stick in toasted is another favorite for me. I also enjoy the revolution beauty cream bronzer in fair or light. Not sure which I have. The lightest shade for sure. Just chiming in with my faves ❤

      The Elf putty bronzer, the lightest, is very cool toned. Honestly, even I consider it a little too grey, but I already have quite a lot of grey in my face, and therefore, it's too much. Maybe you'll like it if you're looking for an affordable creamy product.
      An absolutely perfect powder bronzer that's cool toned is the Milani Silky Matte, the 02, not the lightest. I seriously dropped my jaw when I looked in the mirror after a full application. It is the absolute perfect shade if you can't wear orange or yellow type bronzers, and it gives such a healthy sheen! Prettier than some of my cream or liquid bronzers (but I'm still looking for my holy grail... based on reviews, I'm interested in the Dynessa Myricks Power Bronzer and the Rare Beauty Warm Wishes stick, but in both cases I'm not sure what shade to pick with my cool toned Casper face.
      BTW, the Mega Bronzer in Cool by Revolution Beauty is probably also a great powder option for you. It leans cool, but also has a reddish-brown tone in it, which is great for those with an olive undertone. It's perfect for me in summer, but I've worn it in winter too. Yes, it's once again powder, but despite the fact the word Mega says sth about the amount you get, I've actually finished that entire bronzer, and will eventually rebuy.
      If I find a great cool toned (whether semi contour or with some pink) in cream, I'll try to find this video again and let you know.
      Unfortunately, Amanda's video doesn't help me because everything looks orange on my screen 😮😢. I wish she'd put it next to a contour shade or a known cool toned and known orangey shade to compare.

      Totally understand that a very warm orangey bronzer doesn't work for your pale skintone. Even those of us with medium skintones like me or people with tan, deep or richer skintones can not always use an orangey bronzer either. I personally do prefer neutral to golden shade in winter and more coppery/red based brown shades in summertime. But orange is aweful on me. That being said, I'm confused about what you mean with blue undertone on pale skin? I'm pretty sure that blue, purple and red undertones only exist in richer complexion. Pale skin can have neutral, pink, yellow or olive undertone but blue....can't imagine this.

      @@Thamazgha-tamurth-enegh Hmm! Well, I'm not a makeup artist, and never wear foundation, so the only context I have for my undertone is concealer, lipstick, blush and bronzer. Firstly, my veins at my wrist look BRIGHT blue, and I was told that's a way to tell? I know with lipstick it HAS to have a 'blue based red' to work and not clash with me, orangey reds are my nemesis. I know 'winter' colors flatter me best clothing wise. Pale lilac blushes make me look most alive, so that's what blush I wear (specifically, Trixie Stix Cream Blush - Baby right now). Purple eye shadows manage to look natural on my eyes (and sometimes completely merge with my skin and vanish if they are not pigment dense), for some reason, as do dark reds (the biggest clash is yellow). I always go for the palest concealer in a line, and the palest normally still looks too yellow/orange on my skin. And I've never found a bronzer that just doesn't look bright orange on me. So, I have no professional idea, but I've just gone through life telling anyone who works in makeup 'I am BLUE, trust me', and so far that's resulted in the best recommendations, lol. I did have one person tell me I have an olive undertone, but then they gave me something that again turned orange on me, so I don't know how much I trust them. Anyway, I'm sure you know more than I do, I've been befuddled for years! 🙂

    I'm such A BIG FAN of your content and detailed reviews 💞
    Ohhh, but NOT A FAN of this set-up where we can't see you, or your face, and only hearing your voice. Especially when the video is only showing a blank beige background and there's no product being shown, but just your voice. It feels weird.
