Is this a good bronzer for me medium/tanned skin (I am Indian)? also, would this make a good contour on my skin or would be too subtle? thanks

I think it would be a great bronzer for your skin. It is a darker bronzer so It should contour nicely. I am a light/medium and I use it sparingly to contour. It blends nicely.

As a woman of color (brown-skinned) I would recommend it to other women of color. I have seen it on darker women like BeautyByJJ and MakeupDoll on Youtube and it looks great on them as well. It won't look out of place, if this is your fear. It is a great undereye brightener and makeup setter. It blends out very nicely. I am a huge fan of this product.

It has a rather golden tone to it, so I think it would look pretty over tanned coloured skin. I have a slightly tanned, olive skin tone and it looks great... Blends nicely and adds the perfect amount of "glow" in my opinion. I'm really happy I got it, hopefully you will be too :)

If your skin is darker than a medium tone, I wouldn't suggest using this powder. It has a decent amount of pigment that will make dark skin look ashy. This powder acted as any regular powder for my fair skin. If you are looking for a product that acts as a translucent skin mattifier, I wouldn't suggest purchasing this item.

You could probably use it but it wouldn't be as defined of a contour as it would be on lighter skin tones. What you could do though is mix it with a little bit of an espresso colored eye shadow and it would blend perfectly. That's what I do if I'm looking for a stronger contour. I hope this helps!

I have medium to tan skin, so I have only used the darker shades for contouring. They work really well for contouring. I am sorry that I can't be more helpful. I really do like this palatte and will be ordering another one.

Ooh no this is perfect for light tones. I almost think its too light for me. And i am african american w/ a brown complexion. Perfect for yellow undertones

I wouldn't use this one. I am a light skinned black woman and it makes me pretty dark. Even I have to be careful when applying. I would try Bare minerals Faux tan. I think it would work better for you since it doesn't give you a deep tan.

My husband is the one who uses this. He uses it for tanning bed purposes only. A bronzer is suppose to make you a lot darker than an accelerator.

no to really get a nice contour I thin the darker the better. Just be sure to blend after applying to it is not harsh on your skin.

Try it on. It gains pigment when it touches your skin. It looks quite natural on me. I have the Fair shade.

It's thicker makeup and blends well in large areas but might not look as well if its in spots. I use this stuff for my arms and even my face. I have bad circulation and my arms can turn purple and blottchy and it gives it a perfect color tone all over. I have bought this in all shades and love it. Hope this helps! I do blend it with lotion when I put it on my arms and legs just to blend it a bit better and so it's not so thick. Maybe that will help with you just needing it in certain spots to add some lotion so its not so thick in color.

For an all over bronze glow I would not recommend this, this is more of a contour shade, unless you use a VERY light hand. It is super pigmented. I recommend trying the jane cosmetics bronzers for all over bronzing!

For me it doesn't change my skin tone that much. I have both the light and the medium shades. (I'd normally be light/medium in other bb creams but Ponds only has Light OR Medium) I can wear either one alone, without any other makeup on, without my skin looking tan or off color. I sometimes just put on this BB Cream to take my daughter to the bus stop or if I have to run some errands and don't have time to apply anything else. I also use this as a primer under my foundation sometimes.

I have tried this and the product from real chemistry and like the 2nd one better. Cure irritated my skin a bit. The better one worked really well on an Indian friend of mine - she looked lighter. Good luck.

I too am very pale. I use medium beige. The lighter shade made me look like a ghost. Then I finish with warmth. It's an all over type blush. I use it on my cheek bones. I have been using Bare Escentuals for over 10 years now. I wouldn't use anything else. The ones you see in stores that have mineral in their names do not compare. I'm always told I have beautiful skin, I'm 61 years old.

I'm actually quite fair with blond hair. I would use an NC20 shade if you go by MAC's range. I quite like the shade of this bronzer and use it with a very light hand. Works quite well for me. If you check out the blog dressed in mint, her favorite bronzer is Bahama Mama and she looks to be a bit more fair than myself.
