I've done a post very similar to this before, but I wanted to shed some light on it once again. It can be quite tricky finding the right contour/bronzing products for pale skin, so I thought I'd share some of my faves.
First up, we have the Benefit Hoola Bronzer. Pretty sure everyone has heard of this cult classic, its been hyped about for years now. Although its high end, its 100% worth it, I can assure you of that. I find with some drugstore bronzers, they can come out too red toned or look a bit 'muddy' on the face, but this is perfect. I just use a fluffy brush and lightly dust it across my cheeks, forehead and nose. Talking of powders, the NYX Blush in Taupe is so perfect for contouring. Again, this has a very cool undertone to it, which means it doesn't look like you've wiped dirt across your face. Plus its super cheap, so you can't go wrong!
Finally, a product new to my collection that I really wanna talk about. The Rimmel Insta Duo Contour Stick*. I've been desperate to try this out, and I finally got my chance. I've seen a few people say this is a dupe for the new Kim K contour sticks, which is kinda cool I guess. Anyway, I've really been enjoying this, the formula is really pigmented and actually very creamy. It blends out beautifully and leaves you with a subtle 'chiseled' cheek look. The highlighter side isn't as good as the contouring side I must say, but thats fine by me as I have a million and one other highlighters I can use haha. Overall, I'm really enjoying this and I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a new contouring product.

I love Benefit Hoola and the Rimmel contour stick! I was so surprised at how well the contour stick worked. It's so easy to use and I love the look it creates. I need to check out the NYX blush. It sound's so lovely and I love NYX products x

I was so surprised as well, I wasn't sure it'd work for my pale skin but its lovely!
DeleteAs a pale skin girl, I love this post! Benefit Hoola is definitely the best!

Thank you - hoola all the way!

Me too!
DeleteThis is a fab post!! I'm super pale and definitely went through a stage of just having orange lines on my face hah!! Tanya Burr's bronzer in her 2016 Christmas palette (Is it obvious that I've forgotten what it's called haha). It's a fab shade for my fair skin so I am currently working my way through that. But I have my trusty Benefit Hoola as a back up

Thank you! I did as well hahah, not a good look. I wish I could've got my hands on that Tanya Burr shade though!
DeleteI'm a pale girl too and find it so hard finding suitable contouring products! I'm definitely going to check out NYX's blush, thanks for the recommendation!

I might have to try the hoola lite!
DeleteI'm fair in the winter time and I have the Hoola bronzer but I prefer to use the Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil bronzer, it's even better than the Hoola!
ReplyDeleteCarolina's Makeup Life
I've heard good things about the too faced milk chocolate bronzer, maybe I'll try that once my hoola has run out!
DeleteThe NYX blush sounds so great !
ReplyDeletehttps://afrenchgirlsthoughts.blogspot.fr
Its fab!
DeleteI used to love Hoola by Benefit, but now I prefer the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil in Medium - it's much more subtle, yet buildable and I prefer the colour of it! I do need to get my Hoola back out though and give it another go, cos I used to be obsessed with it xo

I'll definitely have to try that out next time I need a new bronzer!
DeleteI really recommend you try Illamasqua Heroine eyeshadow as a contour, I use it almost everyday on my pale skin and it's literally perfect, I like it SO much better than the nyx taupe!
ReplyDeleteCourtney | Lashes and Luxe
Oooo, I need to splash out on that one!
DeleteI'm absolutely rubbish at contour but the Benefit Hoola Bronzer is something I fancy trying!
