One of my Favorites

This is a GREAT contouring powder because it can fit most skin tones. I am pretty fair with yellow undertones and it doesn't make me look like I'm on jersey shore. I have used it on a majority of my clients, ranging from Caucasian ruddy skin to medium-dark tones (think Tyra Banks or Beyonce) and those with pink, violet, olive and tan undertones. Anyone darker than this I tend to use something with a bit more color... Do be light handed with this product though as it does have great pigmentation so a little bit does go a long way. Also great as a blush or bronzing powder. This is also amazing because there is NO shimmer which is hard to find in a bronzer. I know a lot of people like that "iridescent glow" but I'm particular to a more polished look, and besides, once highlighter is added there will be enough brightening that you wont look like a manikin!

I absolutely adore this product! It's great for contouring (what I use it for) and it blends so nicely! It can be built up for dark skinned beauties, or sheered out for you light skinned lovelies! The packaging is adorable, but I wouldn't recommend the brush it comes with. Overall, this is an amazing product, and you'd have to be crazy to pass it up!

All time favorite bronzer!

The absolute best! I don't think I will ever switch to a different bronzer. It's very pretty and nice on any skin complexion! I wear this all the time and can not go without!

Makes a good contouring color

If you're looking to contour with your bronzer rather than a contouring powder, this stuff is great. It's not too orangey, and it's matte. Goes on with a lot of color, so if you're fairer toned make sure you buff it down and sheer it out. SUPER CUTE PACKAGING!

I love this Bronzer it is definitely my go to for year round wear. It works well with my darker complexion and doesn't make me look orangey. I like that it has no glitter or shimmer. Definitely one of my favorite Benefit products.

for a while I was on a bronzer craze and this I like but not my fave I have medium skin tone and I use this to do a everyday contour with nothing drastic I think in the summer it might not even work for me cause I will get a tan but cute packaging bit pricey but is not a orange bronzer!!

Best Bronzer I've Ever Used!

This is by far the best bronzer I've ever used, it has a great price that can't be beat and it works on absolutely all skin tones! It lasts all day and makes your skin look naturally warm and beautiful

Most versatile bronzer ever!

Seriously! This stuff works for every skin tone and never looks orange. Its also great for contouring paler skin. You also get a lot of bang for your buck. The packaging has gotten smaller over the years but the amount of product hasn't decreased-all the easier to fit in my kit.

Benefit's Hoola Bronzing Powder is one of their cult favorite Box-o-Powders. This bronzer is extremely popular among fair ladies like my self. Benefit says that you should "dust this soft bronze powder over your complexion for a healthy natural looking tan year round, it's pure color, no sparkle or shine!" Hurray for matte bronzers, they're a rare breed. I got a little 3g (.1oz) mini Hoola Bronzer in the Ulta exclusive "Sexy Six" value kit, which retailed for $24. The full size of the Hoola Box-o-Powder sells for $28 for 8g (.28oz). That gives my little sample a value of $10 (I paid $4 for it, technically). This bronzer was made in America. Benefit does not test their products on animals; their testing policy can be found in their FAQ. Benefit products can be bought on the brand's website, department stores with Benefit counters, Sephora, and Ulta (and their websites)
Packaging for the sample size of Hoola is kinda crappy. It's black plastic and flips open. The full size of Hoola looks much nicer, a purple cardboard box with a removable lid and bamboo detailing on the sides. the name of the product and Benefit logo are written in aqua lettering along with two piece of bamboo and a small white flower. The full size of Hoola, and all Box-o-Powders comes with a small natural hair brush. I'm not sure what info can be found on the full size, but a full ingredient list and a little bit of company info can be found on the back of this bronzer sample.
The Benefit Box-o-Powders are renowned for their excellent texture. Hoola is soft, but it doesn't kick up any residual powder. This bronzing powder is very finely milled, it almost feels velvety, very luxurious. Its pressed well and feels sturdy in the pan. Hoola has good pigmentation for a bronzer, its not sheer, but it's not too pigmented; even if Hoola doesn't give you quite enough color at first, this bronzer is buildable.
Hoola is a slightly yellowed bronzer with a grey undertone. You know what grey toned bronzers are fantastic for? Contouring. What makes a grey toned bronzer ideal for contouring, opposed to peachier or redder options? Think about it, contouring, when done well, is supposed to give a shadowed look to the face, and shadows tend to have a grey cast to them. Hoola, even though it's grey tinged, is still great for warming up the face. This is a very natural looking tan shade that's definitely best suited to pale to lightly tanned chicks, it won't show up on people with medium to darker skin tones. The best part of Benefit's bronzing powder is that it's 100% matte, there isn't a speck of shimmer to be found. This is really the ideal bronzer for those who are often too lightly complected for most of the orangey-brown bronzers out there. I've become addicted to this bronzer for contouring. I've never found one that looks this natural and is this high quality. Just this little sample size less than 1/3 of the full size will last me quite a while. I barely need to touch my brush to the powder to pick up a decent amount of product. Speaking of brushes, I always use Avon's Glow Bronzing Brush to apply this product, unless I contour my nose, in that case I use ELF's Studio Fan Brush.
I'm really loving Benefit's Hoola Bronzing Powder, it suits my skin tone really well, better than any other one I have. The grey undertone of Hoola makes it excellent for a natural looking contour. The texture of this bronzing powder is great and it possesses perfect pigmentation. Full size packaging is cute and includes a brush that I hear is decent, but not great, quality. I probably wouldn't purchase a full size of Hoola, but if you choose to, it's a good value, the Benefit Box-o-Powders contain a ton of product. If you got money to burn, love the contoured look, and have fair skin, Benefit's bronzing powder in Hoola is an amazing option. When I finish this bronzer I'll be on a quest to find a cheaper dupe, mainly because I think bronzer and other powder products are a silly thing to spend a lot of money on.

I started using this bronzer about 2 years ago. It gives me a natural looking finish ...i don't end up looking like an umpa lumpa if i apply a little too much :). This is my favourite bronzer next to my bare minerals one. Absolutely love this brand! I use this almost everyday and one box has lasted me ages! Amazing :)
