Hoola Matte Bronzer

Reviews

Smooth formula, buildable, and absolutely gorgeous on the skin

I avoided this for the longest time because of the packaging (and truthfully I still don't love it functionally even if it is aesthetically pleasing), but I can understand why this is such a well-loved bronzer now. It truly glides on the skin – it is pigmented so you do have to be careful to apply gently, but the matte finish is absolutely stunning. I also am surprised and happy to say that the Caramel shade is exactly that – Caramel, not too red or orange, just a perfect golden brown that gives a nice color to the skin. As someone with a more neutral-olive undertone, this bronzer is now about my Charlotte Tilbury and Gucci bronzers based off of the color alone. I'm even considering the Hoola original just to have on hand when I want a more gentle bronze.

Minus the packaging which I do think closes awkwardly, I really have nothing but positive things to say about this bronzer. If you're like me and have held out for whatever reason, I highly recommend trying it out.
