People who have pale skin usually have trouble finding the right bronzer because most bronzers are super intense, which is why they avoid it altogether, however, if you have pale skin, you also know how difficult it is getting that nice, sun-kissed, semi-tanned look that is just so gorgeous. On top of that, if you wear foundation, then it makes your skin look even flatter and you are ready to play corpse in the next Tim Burton movie.
This is when you need a bronzer- when you need to lift up the general look of your face and give it some depth and warmth. A bronzer can be the detrimental factor between a plain, bland boring look, and a tropical goddess look. It highlights all the right places on your face, and lends your skin with a soft-tanned look which can make all the difference in the world.
A lot of people shy away from bronzers because bronzers are usually dark, which look incongruous with pale, fair skin. However, a number of lovely makeup brands have lighter shades of bronzers, which can give you the subtle glow and warmth without having to go all out with your makeup. Here are a few more tips on finding the best bronzer for fair skin.

However, merely knowing that you have fair skin is not enough. You also have to identify your skin type- that is whether you have oily skin, dry skin or combination skin.

Try to identify whether these areas are oily patches or dry patches, and choose your bronzer accordingly. However, here are some suggestions which are good for all kinds of combination skins.
