Hoola - Matte Powder Bronzer

Blendable and still versatile.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. So when selecting the bronzer I didn’t realize it was for the shade deep. Fortunately I was able to still make it work for my medium skin during the summer time as I get tan. It is a very pigmented shade as it’s meant for darker skin but still blend-able. I just have to use a light hand with it.

Really good bronzer

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I recently just learned how to apply bronzer , and this is one of my favorites. It blends so smooth! And medium deep is the perfect shade for my brown skin. It makes me looked even more sun kissed and pulls my whole look together. It has no smell and the box is compact and easy to pack. I also want to add it didn't open in my makeup bag while flying and traveling

My go to bronzer. This was a repurchase. I always go back to this one, no matter how many other bronzers I try.

Good if a Color Match

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The formula is amazing and the finish is beautiful and it seems really pigmented but it’s not for me. The color is just too light for me but I think it would be a great c choice for someone who was a color match.

Reliable

I was impressed with this bronzer. In the pan, it looked warmer in tone than I generally would choose. I have medium skin, so the depth was appropriate. While still a bit warmer than my general choices (note: I intentionally go for cooler tones than most, so it is probably an average warmth, just not for me), it was not orange at all when applied and applied smoothly in various situations. I don’t wear foundation as much as I used to – I have reached the point where I have accepted that all I really care about is eyeshadow, if pressed for time. This bronzer did well on my bare skin, even with the unfortunately placed hyperpigmented areas on my cheeks. Bronzer tends to crowd around those spots, making them look even worse. The few times it applied like that on my bare skin, it was easily remedied with fingers. That is a noteworthy quality, should you happen to have dark patches. It also did well with just concealer, though I was always careful to put translucent powder down before the bronzer. A little goes a long way, and it is moderately forgiving.

You need this!

My go to bronzer, highly pigmented, long lasting and blends seamlessly, the finish is perfect, it’s matte and NO shimmer! Hands down my favorite.

Beautiful matte, sunkissed finish!

This bronzer comes in a press powder format with a small mirror inside for easy touch ups on the go. The shade looked a little too dark on the inside of my arm, but I feel the outer part of my arm is closest to my skintone in the face. It was very easy to load up the brush and then I dabbed it on my arm to evenly distribute the product prior to application. It looked pretty crazy at the beginning but I decided to trust the process. I wanted you to show you how the color may look a little too intense upon initial application but it is really easy to blend and ends up giving you the most beautiful sunkissed effect. As I get older, I find myself reaching for bronzers more often because I want to protect my skin but I still want to look like I have been to the beach. And what better brand than Benefit, which is the authority in bronzers. Have you tried any Benefit bronzers? Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below.

Not dark enough

I received this bronzer for my honest review. This bronzer has a nice finish but the pigmentation wasn't dark enough for my skintone. I tried to build it up and it still wasn't dark enough. It has some red in it that would add warmth it just needed to be darker. I did like the packaging. I didn't snell any strong scent. If your my skintone this will not work for you.

A must have

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] A lightweight, buildable, matte bronzing powder. It creates a soft sun-kissed look. no awful smell and blends wonderfully all thought i had to try it on a friends skin since the shade was too deep for my complexion.

Pigmented with a beautiful finish

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As someone who doesn’t use bronzer very often, I loved this!! I tested it on a day where I really needed my makeup to stay and look good, and this delivered. The shade is perfect for when I’m tan. It is super pigmented, so you don’t need a lot at all, but I found it blended without much struggle at all. It has a really beautiful matte finish, but it doesn’t dull my skin. I would definitely recommend this, and for the price point, I would say it is worth it, as I think it will last a very long time due to how pigmented it is.

Great color

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Such a pretty product, sadly I accidentally got the wrong color, but I've been using it more as a eyeshadow. It blends amazingly well and looks so pretty * in the picture I added shimmer and gold to the edges*. The package is so cute and small so easy to carry around!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I recently tried the Benefit Hoola Bronzer in the new shade Deep, and overall, I really enjoyed the formula. The application was smooth and easy to blend, with a warm, natural finish that lasted all day on my skin. It gave me a soft, sun-kissed look without looking muddy or too orange. However, I was a bit disappointed that this is considered the deepest shade. I’m in the 300s range in many popular foundation lines, and while it works for me now, I can already tell it won’t show up well once I get my first summer tan. I love the quality of this bronzer, but I really hope Benefit expands the shade range to be more inclusive.
