Benefit Teint BronzerHoola Matte Bronzing Poeder

Me: vampiric pale, colourless skin. Results: on first try today, on naked skin atop moisturiser, this looks beautiful. It appears natural, my skin looks healthy, the effect is subtle & I look prettier because of the colour & subtlety. Colour: a light gold, no orange, no red, no pink, no grey. It is the colour of my freckles, light gold, almost neutral. Verdict: very worthwhile for pale girls, it’s enhancing, if they’d had this when I was a toddler, my mother wouldn’t have been scrubbing her lipstick into my cheeks & swearing me to silence. I’ve tried other bronzers and they looked fake, overdone, over-made up & I gave up on them. They looked good with a fake tan but heavy & obvious on ivory skin.

I had always wanted to use Hoola bronzer but it was just a touch too dark for me, so I was very happy when they introduced Hoola Lite. Overall, I like this bronzer as it is not too intense but definitely gives color to the skin. I like the box packaging though never used the mirror in it. My only complaint is that the product is so soft - way too soft. The brush that comes with it digs so deeply into it and creates too much dust. It almost looked like a loose powder because there was so much kick up. I used a different brush mostly. It also seemed to go very quickly because of that. I do like it and may purchase again in the future but it's not my favorite bronzer of all time.

I picked this up on a whim after I decided it was better to embrace my pale complexion instead of baking in the sun. I often found when I wore a paler foundation that I lacked colour in my skin. This bronzer has been my holy grail ever since I purchased it. It has a beautiful shade for pale skin which brings colour naturally back to the skin. I have used the darker Hoola for years and am so happy they realized a lite version. This has been a holy grail in my makeup routine and I use it whenever I wear a foundation or BB cream. This has also lasted me over a year so it's great value!!!

I love this bronzer! Although I have a darker tan skin tone I use this as my setting powder as it matches my colour. This brightens my skin and I also use this over my face even when I don’t use foundation but instead over a tinted moisturiser and I apply with a big powder brush rather than the one it comes with. Keeps my combination skin matte all day and does not irritate my skin. I just wish this came in the jumbo size like the original Hoola bronzer.

This bronzer is so pigmented, a little goes a really long way! I have found when I haven't fake tanned it is a bit warm, but with some tan on it is stunning and really easy to blend.
