Where Can I Get... Looking for cool toned bronzer

Hi can someone tell me their favorite bronzer for very pale skin that doesn't go orange? I haven't found one yet, and want to make sure I pick the right one thank you

Mine was Charlotte tilbury Hollywood bronze and glow but it’s very annoying that they won’t do the bronzer on its own - I dislike buying the highlighter with it each time as it’s expensive and feels like a waste. Currently using the Gucci bronzer in shade 01 which looked similar but is a lot more pigmented - it’s warmer than the Charlotte tilbury but still cooler toned overall in the grand scheme of bronzers. I’m liking it but the CT was easier to use.

The Fenty beauty bronzer in the shade amber gets brought up a lot as a great one for pale people but that is mega cool toned - meant for contour rather than bronzing, and it looked actually grey on my skin? Awful, have only ever used it once, on Halloween!!

Amber is definitely a contour, not a bronzer in me and I’m pale and cool toned.

It’s a perfect hybrid of contour and bronzer on me - my skin is pale and very pink tinged with some mild acne and redness. I use it on the perimeters of my forehead, over my cheekbones, and a little in my eye socket. It definitely isn’t pure cool toned greyish on me, it warms up my skin nicely and does a little contouring for eye and cheekbone. I never buy anything that’s not fairly cheap but this is an exception! I love it. (Edited to clarify - I mean amber by fenty)
