What the gurus are saying

This bronzer earns praise for its natural, flawless finish and luminosity that warms the face without looking harsh. The catch is the undertone and shade range; some find the original Hoola too warm for their skin, though the lighter and fair versions offer alternatives that may suit cooler or lighter complexions better. It works on both wet and set base and can be applied to the full face or used sparingly for a lived-in effect.

"I usually really like Hoola Fair. The color is really nice. And sometimes when I'm not wearing a turtleneck, it's a little more obvious that it doesn't match my actual skin tone as well. It's a little bit too warm for me. But with the turtleneck on, I feel like I can bronze up my skin a little more."

"I feel like this is such a classic and one of those things that most everybody has either tried or still has in their collection. For me personally, this hasn't been in my active routine for a hot minute. I just feel like there are better bronzers in my opinion. Maybe it's the tone and undertone of the bronzer that makes me use other things. I do want to mix in a little bit of the Hoola Light just to make it so that the tone is a little bit more suitable for me."

"I'm using the Hoola bronzer from Benefit. Per their instructions, 'For defined freckle, use with a cream bronzer or contour'. 'Roll off the excess product on the back of the hand, press, and roll across the skin to leave behind a section of freckles.' 'Repeat these steps in your desired area of the face, and pat into the skin with a finger for a more lived-in look.' You can apply it to either wet or set base."
