Bronzer Primer – A Must Have?

I have been intrigued by the idea of a cream bronzer. I have never been a big fan of the orange face or muddy brown face. However I recently rediscovered some powdered bronzer in my stash and decided I like the look (done lightly).

My rosacea has been under control lately and I noticed that I am really pale. I favor cream blushes over powered because it looks nicer on my dry skin. In doing my research, I noticed that cream bronzers were being marketed as primers. It doesn’t make any sense to me. I watched a couple of videos on the subject and really liked the subtle look.

Now I am deciding which one to try. The Bourjois Bronzing Primer Looks the most promising to me. The only issue is that it can be hard to find here in the states.  I am sure I would not regret buying the Chanel version but it is too pricey for something I have not tried yet.  Laura Mercier is a brand I have used since its launch and will most likely will try it out if I am not happy with the Bourjois. 

Have you tried any of these priming bronzers? Do you find you need a primer to get the look?
