Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Pure Hollywood
𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Very Light Nude Pink
𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄: Full, Opaque
𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇: Matte
𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐁𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑: Fair Skin Tones with Neutral or Cool undertones
𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒: This is one of the first “nudes” I’ve been able to find for my fair skin. Many nudes don’t go light enough. I would HIGHLY recommend pairing this with a slightly darker lip liner to avoid “concealer looking lips”. Dislike this sup...

My Best Bronzer & Contour Shades
Uoma Beauty Contour Stick in Light Pearl
𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Cool brown/grey, but still has some warmth to look natural on the skin. Reminiscent of a natural shadow.
𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄: Medium, Buildable
𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇/𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐀: Natural. It’s the perfect cream consistency - not too stiff or waxy and also not too slippy. It’s very easy to blend out and you can keep it more natural/sheer or build it up for a more glam look
𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒: I wish they offered this without the highlighter side because the cream highlight is too dark for me. I think it would work well for those on the darker end of the light skin tone, but it’s too dark for fair skin. This goes on sale ...

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer in Butta Biscuit
𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Cool Tone Grayish Brown. Best for those with Fair Skin Tones with a neutral or cool undertone. I use this as a contour more than a bronzer. The shade mimics a natural shadow well without being too grey and harsh.
𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄: Low to Medium
𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇/𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐀: Between a cream and a balm. Looks creamy on the skin with a slight glowy sheen. The sheen isn’t from shimmer, just the natural glow from the texture.
𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒: As I mentioned, I prefer to use this as a contour more than a bronzer, but it does still add a warmth to the skin. This formula is really user friendly as it’s not overly pigmented right off the bat, but can be built up.

Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Creme Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo in She's Statuesque
𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Contour is a cool toned, grey leaning brown tone. The Bronzer side has a neutral undertone with a touch of warmth. This shade would be best for Fair to Light skin tones. I think all undertones could use this shade. ...
𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄: They both have a low to medium coverage. Both formulas are pretty thin and easy to build up.
𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇/𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐀: Contour is somewhere between a balm and a cream and the Bronzer is a powder with a slight glow to it.
𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒: This is a great duo for anyone who likes a cream contour and a powder bronzer, which is typically my formula preference. Both tones work well for my fair to light skin.

𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇/𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐀: Powder formula with a natural finish. It has the slightest sheen to the skin to keep it looking like skin. It has a creamy powder formula that feels hydrated - not dry and matte.
𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒: I’ve been using this bronzer for over 6 years so I think that says something about it’s quality. With all the new bronzers on the market I still find myself wanting to use this. I would recommend to use a fluffy brush (not a dense b...

Revlon SkinLights Prismatic Bronzer Makeup in Sunlit Glow
𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: Rosy, Sunlit Brown/Tan. Best for Fair to Light skin with a neutral or cool undertone. May have to much rosiness for warm undertones.
𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄: Low to Medium, Buildable
𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇/𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐀: Powder Formula with a glow finish. You don’t see a shimmer on the skin, but it ads a healthy glow that brings life back to the skin.
𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒: It warms up my complexion with a fresh rosy tone, not the standard warm (yellow) tone. This look more true to how my skin would actually look if I were sun kissed. This bronzer is pretty densely packed so you don’t have to be super ...
