What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested it praise how natural and luminous it looks on skin, with one expert calling it flawless and glowing. However, tone and undertone matter here: some found the shade too warm for their skin, so those on the cooler or lighter side may want to try Hoola Light or Fair first, or mix shades to dial in the warmth. It works applied to either a wet or set base and can be pressed and rolled on for a softer, 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 Tried The READERS' CHOICE WINNERS... Allure 2023
"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."
