We love nothing more than a celebrity beauty recommendation, and Girls Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh has just given one makeup product the highest praise of all. In a recent interview with , the singer picked the Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, (was £32.50), as the one beauty product she swears by.
Kimberley said: “The one thing that myself and most of my female friends have in their makeup bag – and have had for the past 20 years – is the Benefit Hoola” before adding: “I use it literally every day of my life.” She went on to rave about how versatile the bronzer is, saying that even if you lost everything else in your makeup bag, the Hoola bronzer can be used to make up your whole face, including being used as an eyeshadow or brow powder.

Despite being launched way back in 2001, it still remains one of the brand’s most iconic products thanks to its silky-smooth and easy-to-blend formula.
If you’ve never tried out the iconic Hoola, it's known for creating a golden, bronzed glow and is perfect for warming up skin tones – even those who fall in the cooler shade range. It has a buildable formula that can be used in a whole host of ways to give you a natural-looking glow.
The Benefit Hoola Bronzer is a cult-favourite (LookFantastic)Take a fluffy brush and tap it into the pressed powder, then sweep it across your whole face for an all-over sunkissed effect, or use it as a contour to help chisel and sculpt your cheekbones. It can also be used, as Kimberly said, as a sultry smokey eyeshadow, to fill in sparse brows, or even to help contour your forehead, jawline and nose, making it an absolute makeup essential.
How to de-clutter if you have a beauty stash to last you a lifetime
Kimberley isn’t the only one who swears by it, with the bronzer racking up an impressive 4.82 out of 5 star rating on LookFantastic. One reviewer called it the “Best bronzer out there” before adding: “This stuff is pure magic! Makes me look sunkissed and perfect for my skin tone. I did try the Benefit caramel colour too - big mistake as looked terrible. So went back to what I know - Hoola Matt!”
Someone else wrote: “Been using this for years and wont ever stop” whilst a third said: “This original Hoola bronzer is such a beautiful shade. Looks super natural and is perfect for everyday contouring and bronzing.”
You can also get the Benefit Bronzer in several other shades (LookFantastic)Another of our all-time favourites and another cult icon in the bronzer world is NARS’ Laguna Bronzing Powder, , which also has a mighty impressive 4.7 out of 5 star rating over at Boots. It has a silky-smooth finish that lasts all day, and helps give your skin a naturally radiant glow whilst also diffusing and blurring texture.
One shopper called it “The only bronzer you’ll ever need!” They added: “I bought the mini of this bronzer last year and have just now finished it. It’s my most complimented and best suited bronzer I own. No matter how many I try, I keep going back to the Laguna. It’s the perfect neutral tone so it can be used for both contour and bronzer and the formula is really easy to blend. I also found that it doesn’t mess with my base, so if I was going for a glowy look the bronzer would appear glowy however if I was going for a matte look the bronzer would mesh and appear matte.”
