Have we finally found the ideal bronzer?

The sun is gradually coming out to play which means I’ve already spotted a couple of bare feet under a pair of pants and even a few daredevils that have braved the weather with bare legs. I’m still a member of team cover-up because my skin is way too pale and I don’t want people to be blinded by its reflection.

Benefit’s Hoola Bronzer is sold all over the world which isn’t all that surprising. It’s a powder that’ll give you an entire tanned face makeover. Plus, it’s matte so it doesn’t contain any red tones or glitter, thus making it all the more natural. I’m quite fond of bronzers and they’ve become an important part of my daily morning routine. Whether it be matte, shimmer, or anything really: the extra added bit of color will make it feel like summer every day.

Thank God, or actually, thank Benefit, they’ve added a whole new line to do precisely that. Make it summer all day, every day. Besides a facial powder, they now also have a body gel and a liquid bronzer that will keep that summer glow on your face for a tad bit longer.

“It’s super smooth and won’t leave you with any awkward ’tan’ lines.”

The body bronzer is in fact a colored gel which might throw you off, but once you rub it onto your skin, it’ll leave you with a nice Hawaiian-looking glow. Plus, you don’t have to worry about your hands turning a darker shade because this bronzer comes with an appliance sponge. It’s super smooth and won’t leave you with any awkward ’tan’ lines. The same goes for your face; it might look daunting, but once you’ve smeared it all over, it’ll give your face a healthy color that’s adapted to your skin tone. A nice, sun-kissed look. The Soft Matte Liquid Bronzer even lets you shape and contour. Win-win-win.

So as of late, you no longer have an excuse to leave your house looking pale as a ghost. Anytime I bump into anyone displaying pale feet or legs, I’ll make sure to refer them to this post. Oh and hey, if you’re worried about obtaining an orange glow, don’t be. If you don’t like the color, all you have to do is rinse it off.

This is Hawaii in a bottle. And it’s simply divine.
