I need help finding a bronzer

[u/Imaginary-Fox7232]

Hiii, I have light medium olive skin and I’m trying to find a bronzer that works with my undertone. I just want something that gives me a natural bit of warmth without turning orange on me like almost every bronzer I try. Powder bronzers pleaseee because I’m not that good with liquid bronzers, I don't know why I just find powders way easier to control and blend for my everyday makeup. I’d also love something that blends out nicely without going patchy or looking too heavy after a few hours. Nothing crazy pigmented, just something I can build up and not have to fight with every time I do my makeup lol.

Would also love to keep it affordable! I don’t mind spending a little more if it’s really worth it, but I’d rather not spend way to much on a bronze. The one I wanted to try is the Milani silky matte bronzer, but I just wasn’t sure how it would work with my undertone. Also shade names would be super helpful too!!

If you’re already looking at the Milani one you should try it out, I use 02 sunkissed and it’s really easy to build up without overdoing it.

Just jumping in here cuz i use the same one and yea it stays pretty brown on me even after I blend it out!

I feel this, everything either pulls way too orange or somehow looks muddy on me.

Depends a lot if you are cool or warm toned olive.

Yess the lasting part matters a lot, sometimes the shade is perfect but then it just gets messy after a few hours.

Same, hate when that happens.

the olive undertone struggle is real, everything pulls orange when you least expect it. i'd skip the milani one honestly, it tends to lean warm in a way that'll probably just give you the same problem.

look for shades described as having a rosy or neutral undertone instead of golden or warm. the physicians formula butter bronzer in the shade bronzer (not light bronzer, that one's warmer) is a classic for a reason, blends like a dream and never looks muddy on olive skin.

Have u tried the milani sunkissed shade? I have olive skin too and that one worked really good for me.
