Benefit Hoola Bronzer Review

It took me a long time to cave in and buy Benefit Hoola Bronzer, partly because it is on the pricier side. I’d only ever tried the They’re Real mascara from Benefit so I was excited to see if their powders were as amazing as I’d heard.

Like I said in my 'The Best of The Bronzers' post, as a paler human being I’m not too fussed when it comes to bronzers. I have a select few that work for my skin tone but I tend to stay well away. My curiosity got the better of me however and after hearing that this was great for fair skin, I took the plunge and purchased it.

First impressions were that the box style packaging was a bit chunky and could be a bit sleeker to fit into any and all makeup bags (mines pretty tiny). Saying that it is unique, as far as I know no other brands have the same cardboard packaging and I definitely don’t have anything that looks similar in my collection.

The product itself is smooth, well packed and an amazing shade. This is not too dark, not too muddy and not too orange, perfect for the fairer skinned population. The unique selling point for me though, the thing that really makes it stand out from all my other bronzers is how it blends. I’ve never used a powder product that blends so seamlessly into the skin. I usually apply two strips along the hollows of my cheekbones with an angled face brush, then I blend it out with my Real Techniques buffing brush. It immediately blends away leaving a gorgeous bronze glow that isn’t too overpowering.

I would definitely recommend this if you were looking for a new bronzer, it is definitely worth the hype and the extra bit of cash you’ll have to splash.
