Please don’t stop your tangents❣️If more of us put ourselves in other’s shoes and speak out, perhaps change would happen much faster. You’re right, we all don’t experience the SAME exclusion, but we are excluded in other ways. Whether is age, size, skin tone, hair texture, etc...the frustration is real🤦🏽♀️
Thank you, Sheila! I appreciate this message, and I definitely agree that change might not happen quickly but we can at least create dialogue. And as you said, as someone who doesn’t face the same exclusion I still see why the conversation matters. And you’re so right about the laundry list of exclusion traits 😩
Omg, I'm so glad that I stumbled onto your channel. I adore your personality and those brushes....girl...I have brush envy everytime I watch. Me and Beautylish are about to start a beautiful new relationship. 💞
I can not be the only one who gets excited and shuts everythang and body, down to watch when u upload... I 💙 your personality. Naturally witty with a love for makeup... "I Don't believe in the Hoola mirror, that's for sure" took me out... 😂😂😂😂..
I love any of these bronzers on you- at least on camera... they look so natural and skin like. Those Sonja G brushes make a world of difference in product application! That ABH called Rich Amber is gorgeous on you..it’s like a bronzer/blush combo on you - so nice! I find NARS bronzers are so fussy to work with.. I steer clear, now. ;-/ OOOH! I see the RugRats bag or pillow in the background! Memories!!! :)
Nickelodeon was the best network in the 90’s! I don’t know what’s on there now 😅 I think that’s why I love Rich Amber as well! It’s a two for one! I think NARS intended to create a no fuss bronzer when it ended up being all the fuss 🤣
I really want to try that Chanel bronzer, I did order the Fenty Beauty Shady Biz (Duo) . This video was very well done, and you do always think of others. That's why we love and trust you.
You are sooooo good...clear....best demo given..informative..funny....comedy...made my day and decision to buy one bronzer after so much confusion in ky head when fenty released..😆best actress....lovin your videos...😍
Ugh, this is incredibly helpful (and timely). Like, seriously, I'm so grateful that you do demonstrative comparison videos like these! There's been so many bronzer shade releases lately that I'd gotten overwhelmed and just put off deciding lol. Lo and behold, your bronzer videos pop up on my page. This really helped to clarify things. I'm still deciding between four of the shades you showed because they're so nice -what is wrong with me lol- 😅, but at least I have a detailed basis upon which I can refer to and ultimately decide! Btw, the description has ABH Mahogany in the timestamps instead of ABH Rich Amber.
I have a confession I'm addicted to bronzer LOL I'm so happy you did this video on some of the higher-end, new bronzer cause I want to pick up the new Fenty & the hoola. On my skin complexion I love that yellow/orange undertone in a bronzer it looks good on my skin tone I thought I was the only one so I love that we are bronzer sisters. I know the majority does not want that orange tone or it's too warm I get it but that yellow/orange warm bronzer I'll take one. Check please! Love that your doing this video for us. Love you and keep rocking out these bangin videos
For me, I def like Island ting because as someone who is super olive I really don't get red/orange/warm in the sun, it really just looks like darker olive lol its been a problem that even neutral bronzers look red/orange on me.
I’m happy you pointed that out! Because I always look to improve my knowledge concerning undertones, and this type of insight helps with my reviews and info. And I can understand how one with an olive undertone needs a more neutral undertone to read more golden and not so much more olive.
thank you for the great video... I am a MAC NC42 and I have found the Fenty bronzers a little to dark & cool for me. I love my Chanel Tan De Soleil, MAC Give Me Sun, Hourglass Radient Sun, and Nars Laguna/Casino and The Balm Bronze! All are simply beautiful and perfect for my skintone. Nice lighter and warm... they do not make my skin look dirty
That’s another one that I like as well: The Balm Take Home the Bronze. In the old shades names Toni and Greg. I need to revisit Casino! I used to have it by got rid of it.
Awesome video ! Love my bronzers.... However as a med/tan complexion girl the Chanel counter girl told me that Soileil Tan De Chanel bronzer was too light for my skin tone. They should make a darker shade.
Yes, I would definitely buy if they had a deeper shade. I had the opposite experience where the counter person tried to sell me this and it barely showed up at all on me.
Love love love when you post. You cheer me up no end. Coffee ready for fab time with you. Thanks for all your effort gorgeous talented lady ,Lots of love from UK ❤️😘
This video is gold! Very helpful content. I’m adding Bajan gyal and ABH cappuccino to my list 😃 I picked up caramel cutie instead of Hoola caramel but I’m still thinking about that one. 🤔 I thought island ting and Hoola would be more comparable rather than caramel cutie so thanks for that insight. Maybe I’ll also add Rich amber too argh 😂
DAS IT!! I’ve been loving the layering. Hoola Caramel is definitely my top 3. Dare I say I like it better than Island Ting 🤷🏽♀️ Because it’s a touch warmer.
hoola caramel and caramel cutie bronzer is exactly like my perfect foundation shade lol....so i was kinda torn on what to use for bronzing...i bought fenty foundation powder in 385 and its the perfect bronzer shade if you have same skin tone as me (aka fenty matte foundation in 345)
Great video Alicia! I’ve only been wearing makeup for a year and I’m a shade or so darker than you. You brought such great points to the forefront. I feel fortunate I didn’t wear makeup earlier because it would have been soooo frustrating to be waiting endlessly for products that suited my skin tone. It’s an exciting time that we are in that the world is becoming a little more conscious of all of the beauty there is in all skin tones. So much more work to do, you’re right, but I’m glad that these steps are happening. Boo yo false advertising! Keep being awesome, you’re lovely inside out!
I have a light-medium skintone, but I have a green undertone so 1) my skin eats bronzer 2) a lot of bronzers turn an unnatural orange color on me. My favorite bronzer are those Balm anti-orange bronzers, but I have to use the darkest one in the line during summer and that happens all the time. I know there are darker people than me out there who have a green undertone. It would be nice if they could use that bronzer too because it's so good. I'm pretty light I shouldn't be using the darkest or, honestly, even the middle shade in anything and often that's where I end up. I really like that Fenty came out with bronzers with different undertones in mind, but that was sort of disappointing what the range looked like, and now they're saying they will come out with darker colors soon. If it was soon why not just wait and release them all at once? Of all the companies to do the darker colors later thing, Fenty was the last I would expect that from. We still have such a long way to go it seems, but hopefully we get there sooner rather than later.
I too love the Balm Anti Orange Bronzer! And despite how bronzers are labeled, you wear what looks good! As for the darker shades, I expected Fenty to release them all at once as well. And too create deeper shades with different undertones. I’m looking forward to see what they come up with.
I am a med-tan olive gyal(C38 in Mac)...I am Afrikan and white euro descent...I look very golden when tan. That said, I do prefer the "orangey" warm bronzers bc I get very golden tan(nc42+). My fave bronzer is Hourglass Radiant Light. I wear Island Ting in Fenty(shouts to my Afro Caribbean ancestry😉). Its all about the "look" YOU want! ✨
I bought Bajan Gyal cuz of you! How was I going on about my life without bronzer? Now you blew my mind with the thought of layering bronzers together! Can I layer this with Caramel Cutie? Which shade should I lay down first?
For the ABH Bronzers they were the same 3 shades I was undecided about. They are close but different. I am a similar skin tone NC 42/44 in MAC. I love Hoola & Fenty bronzers too. The Hoola packaging annoys me trying to get a big brush in there
I know Benefit is all about novelty, but I think it’s time they abandon that dreadful box packaging. Give us a compact, and I would probably use that bronzer more often.
I almost order the fenty bronzer the other day but I know I don’t need it.... but now this!!!!! I have so many it’s ridiculous. For one person...But. I really wanna try it!!!!!! U
Hey girl hey!!! I love this video and the face that we are the same shade but love different bronzers! Super cool! In terms of formula... what is the best in texture?
Soooo appreciate this video! I didn’t realize how much I loved bronzers until Fenty released theirs! 😂😂😂 I have Island Ting & love it! Now I need to pickup Bajan Gyal & Hoola Caramel.
I just needed this exact video for comparision. I just got my Choco naughty from Fenty but needed that little orangy warmth , and was puzzling between caramel from HOOLA or Baijan Gyal but I guess I would like caramel from HOOLA better . Thank you .I am may be a shade or two lighter then your skin tone and prefer warm bronzer. I loved caramel from Hoola on you teh best. and cappuccino from ABH the best.
Hey guys!! Please dont come for me cuz I LOOOOVE Fenty!! But I gotta say I was surprised that there wasnt a bronzer shade for Nyma. I too watch her and saw her Fenty bronzer review. But its Fenty, so I'm sure some deeper colors will be coming very soon. Also, Alicia, i think all of those looked great on you. I really couldnt pick a favorite!!😊😊😊
Thank you, Amy! And you’re good! I know there are hardcore Fenty Stans, but I too was surprised. Even the model they used to show Mocha Mami I felt looked like she had a blush on, and less of a bronzer. And I’m confident as well that they will release more shades!
Have you ever tried to apply foundation with the Sculpt one(big white one)? Could you compare it to the WG holiday and 24s brush? It doesn't have to be a video.
It drives me crazy that brands misrepresent their color swatches. Too bad I’m not a lawyer because I would sue any of them for false advertising. Don’t stop the chatter! We love it! Don’t stop the tangents either! I’m so glad to have found you because we’re exactly the same coloring. Woohoo! ✨
I swear you are like my sister/bestie in my head!!!! Your videos are the best!!!! For now I think I'm sticking with my Becca Impanema Sun because I like that's it's not so matte and it gives me a natural warmth that I love!!! But I'm gonna test out the Hoola one and the Fenty Coco Naughty for sure. I didn't try the Anastasia one because it was matte. But I might even check it out. I did like theToo Faced Dark chocolate one. But once I found the Becca one, my heart was stolen. Let's see if it can be swayed. 😉
Every time you put Bajan over another bronzer I was like I love it! 😂😂😂 It just seemed to add another layer of depth. I’m trying to decide if I’m going to buy Fenty or Benefit. I feel a certain kind of way about Benefit taking so long BUT it looks beautiful so it’s clear that they didn’t just throw it out so they wouldn’t be left behind with being “inclusive “. My favorite bronzer is Becca (Maui Night) but I can only wear it in the summer. It’s too dark for me in the winter and Spring. I fall in the shade where the deepest one is too dark and the one before it needs to be layered because it’s not deep enough. I’m the shade in-between deep and deep dark . 😂😂. The bloopers you’ve started adding at the end are hilarious!
Thank you, Tamiko! Yes questions are left unanswered concerning Benefit’s timeline, but I’m happy they at least nailed the shades 😅 And I love putting Bajan Gyal over everything. It’s like the best veil of burnt! 🤣
Hi Alicia, I hope you are doing great! I’m debating between Marc Jacobs o!mega bronzer coconut perfect tan (tan-tasting) and Fenty beauty sun stalk’r (India sun). I’m fair skin with pink undertones and quarantine and all I can’t go swatch the bronzes in store. Can you briefly tell me what are the main differences and which one you prefer? Thanks! Love your videos ❤️💕
Hi hi! Marc has fragrance, and has a neutral undertone. I unfortunately don’t have Indi Sun, so I won’t be able to tell you the difference. But if you don’t like coconut scents, then don’t get the Marc. Fenty’s bronzer is fragrance free!
Not sure if you've picked up the little natasha denona bronze and glow. It will work on our skin tones. Im almost the same skin tone as you are so ive been living off of your reveiws haha . So thank you I ended up getting natasha mini and im really surprised how warm it is it made it look like a warm bronzer on my skin it looks nice. However if someone wants a brontour type of thing they wont like it.
I feel like bronzers with red undertones give a more realistic look if you want that true sun bronzed look, because the sun would cause that redness in the skin naturally.
lol I'm not ashamed to admit that my Soleil Tan De Chanel is well over 4 years old and I still use it with no issues so 18 months is nothing in comparison, don't waste the good stuff.
I’m torn when it comes to Benefit Hoola Toasted bronzer. I want to buy it but i always go in Sephora then end up putting it back when i get to the register because they took so long to finally include us darker skin girls. I threw my coin towards Fenty of course for their new bronzer but i feel like Mocha Mami is a little too red.
I get it, and perhaps we can flip the coin and show Benefit that we also buy makeup and should be considered when creating shades. It would be a travesty if they waited this long to only release a shade that didn’t work at all. Maybe Fenty will release more neutral toned bronzers. I’m actually going to write Benefit and ask why they took so long 🙈🤣 I’m interested in their answer because we’ve seen some wacky ones!
Bronzers should not be as hard as they make it. I need to try out some of Fenty to see if their lighter will work on me. I like your idea of layering. I'd not really tried that before.
I feel like HOOLA only expanded their bronzers because it's been the "cool" thing to do. Like inclusion is some sort of trend 🙄. I eventually want to get a Fenty bronzer because I love the few products I have and Rihanna is 👑.
Pretty much 🤦🏽♀️ But I’m happy at least Benefit came out with shades that work. They could’ve released one more deeper. I guess we need to wait 10 more years for that shade 🤪
Great video Alicia! I’ve only been wearing makeup for a year and I’m a shade or so darker than you. You brought such great points to the forefront. I feel fortunate I didn’t wear makeup earlier because it would have been soooo frustrating to be waiting endlessly for products that suited my skin tone. It’s an exciting time that we are in that the world is becoming a little more conscious of all of the beauty there is in all skin tones. So much more work to do, you’re right, but I’m glad that these steps are happening. Boo to false advertising! Keep being awesome, you’re lovely inside out!
Girl! You did it ALL! 🙌🏻😘
My face was like what the hell is happening 🙈🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!!
Please don’t stop your tangents❣️If more of us put ourselves in other’s shoes and speak out, perhaps change would happen much faster. You’re right, we all don’t experience the SAME exclusion, but we are excluded in other ways. Whether is age, size, skin tone, hair texture, etc...the frustration is real🤦🏽♀️
Sheila King yes LOVE her!!!!
Thank you, Sheila! I appreciate this message, and I definitely agree that change might not happen quickly but we can at least create dialogue. And as you said, as someone who doesn’t face the same exclusion I still see why the conversation matters. And you’re so right about the laundry list of exclusion traits 😩
@Tamiko thank you!!! 💕
Agreed!! Skintone matters...my deeper skinned sisters are typically excluded from luxury makeup and I wish it was easy to say"just dont support them".
Omg, I'm so glad that I stumbled onto your channel. I adore your personality and those brushes....girl...I have brush envy everytime I watch. Me and Beautylish are about to start a beautiful new relationship. 💞
Oh I am glad you are doing this!! I like seeing comparisons 💕💕
Hooray! Did you pick up Mocha Mami?
No I haven’t! I have been so lazy! I need to go to Sephora
I can not be the only one who gets excited and shuts everythang and body, down to watch when u upload... I 💙 your personality. Naturally witty with a love for makeup... "I Don't believe in the Hoola mirror, that's for sure" took me out... 😂😂😂😂..
Alicia, have I told you recently how much I love your videos... well I do, you're hilarious and informative. Perfect balance.
Thank you, Siobhan!! That is much appreciated!!
Thanks for yor ABH arm swatches helped me pick my shade
Thanks for your insight! Great video. 👏🏾
Thank you, Mona 💕🤗
Thank you so much. I’m about to purchase ABH saddle 😘
You're videos are so thorough. I appreciate that!! Thanks!
I love any of these bronzers on you- at least on camera... they look so natural and skin like. Those Sonja G brushes make a world of difference in product application! That ABH called Rich Amber is gorgeous on you..it’s like a bronzer/blush combo on you - so nice!
I find NARS bronzers are so fussy to work with.. I steer clear, now. ;-/
OOOH! I see the RugRats bag or pillow in the background! Memories!!! :)

Girl I just appreciate the shade reference, the performance and quality. You’re so underrated! I’m obsessed 😍
You are sooooo good...clear....best demo given..informative..funny....comedy...made my day and decision to buy one bronzer after so much confusion in ky head when fenty released..😆best actress....lovin your videos...😍
Such a good Video 😍👏🏼 I love Benefit Caramel on you 💥💥💥

Yes to layer the bronzer!!! Milani's silky matte bronzer is super smooth and neutral. I love sweeping it over bronzers that get out of hand.
I have to check that one out!
Ugh yes!! I’m so late to your videos but I am so obsessed with how you do your videos and who you are. I love you girl
Love your channel. Love your style. Thanks so much for sharing!
I have a confession I'm addicted to bronzer LOL I'm so happy you did this video on some of the higher-end, new bronzer cause I want to pick up the new Fenty & the hoola.

Not the Mocha Mami. It's warmer, and more red.
In Mac, I'm an NC 50, and Mocha Mami works for me.
Also Morphe in the shade name Prodigy also works for me.
Awesome video ! Love my bronzers.... However as a med/tan complexion girl the Chanel counter girl told me that Soileil Tan De Chanel bronzer was too light for my skin tone. They should make a darker shade.
Yes, I would definitely buy if they had a deeper shade. I had the opposite experience where the counter person tried to sell me this and it barely showed up at all on me.
Aaaah I've been waiting for this video!!
Hooray! Thank you, Selina!!!
Love love love when you post. You cheer me up no end. Coffee ready for fab time with you. Thanks for all your effort gorgeous talented lady ,Lots of love from UK ❤️😘
Thank you, Lala!!! I’m very much appreciative for letting me join you for morning coffee!!
Seconding! Seeing a video from her always makes my day. Such a fabulous youtuber who can always make you smile :)!
MadeUpBelle yes I totally agree. She is MY FAVOURITE 🙏😙
This video is gold! Very helpful content. I’m adding Bajan gyal and ABH cappuccino to my list 😃 I picked up caramel cutie instead of Hoola caramel but I’m still thinking about that one. 🤔 I thought island ting and Hoola would be more comparable rather than caramel cutie so thanks for that insight.
Maybe I’ll also add Rich amber too argh 😂
DAS IT!! I’ve been loving the layering. Hoola Caramel is definitely my top 3. Dare I say I like it better than Island Ting 🤷🏽♀️ Because it’s a touch warmer.
You are never insensitive and all you say is completely true. Love watching you each & every time!
This comparison is sooo helpful!!
Hooray! I’m happy to hear that!
I so glad I found your channel I love your bubbly personality and how in depth you go with your reviews
You saying bajan gal makes me so happy
hoola caramel and caramel cutie bronzer is exactly like my perfect foundation shade lol....so i was kinda torn on what to use for bronzing...i bought fenty foundation powder in 385 and its the perfect bronzer shade if you have same skin tone as me (aka fenty matte foundation in 345)

Thank you! I definitely recommend all the bronzers in this video! I think the Fenty is more user friendly than ABH, however!
I never write these kind of comments, and I’ve been watching these types of videos for years, but you are the Best!
Hi Hun,
Can you do a tutorial video of your eyebrow in this video please?
Thanks 😍👍
I have to look back on it, because I forgot 🤣
LOVED this video. thank you
Thank you for watching!!!
Awesome video. I love your personality,so relatable.
I love this video. We a similar complexions and I LOVE bronzers. I haven't tried the hola one or abh. I'm going to try them😘
Thank you, Marlo! I’m happy that I’m not the only bronzer nut 🤪
You are way too fun ! Love you. Love seeing these bronzers. All the goodies
Oh yes🙌🏽🙌🏽 Was so excited to see this, exactly what I wanted to see after seeing your Fenty video this week. 😬😬
For the ABH Bronzers they were the same 3 shades I was undecided about. They are close but different. I am a similar skin tone NC 42/44 in MAC. I love Hoola & Fenty bronzers too. The Hoola packaging annoys me trying to get a big brush in there

Thanks for this! I love seeing how all the tones look on you.
Thank you for this video! I’m abscesses w bronzers and love your insights! TY!
***obsessed
Thanks for going over all of these!
Hey girl hey!!! I love this video and the face that we are the same shade but love different bronzers! Super cool! In terms of formula... what is the best in texture?
I’m so happy I found your channel! So good!
Soooo appreciate this video! I didn’t realize how much I loved bronzers until Fenty released theirs! 😂😂😂 I have Island Ting & love it! Now I need to pickup Bajan Gyal & Hoola Caramel.
Yay found someone super close to my skin tone . Will use you as a guide 😂
I just needed this exact video for comparision. I just got my Choco naughty from Fenty but needed that little orangy warmth , and was puzzling between caramel from HOOLA or Baijan Gyal but I guess I would like caramel from HOOLA better . Thank you .I am may be a shade or two lighter then your skin tone and prefer warm bronzer. I loved caramel from Hoola on you teh best. and cappuccino from ABH the best.
Do you use shimmer bronzers? I'd love to know your thoughts.
How did you know I needed this video ????😎
Hey guys!! Please dont come for me cuz I LOOOOVE Fenty!! But I gotta say I was surprised that there wasnt a bronzer shade for Nyma. I too watch her and saw her Fenty bronzer review. But its Fenty, so I'm sure some deeper colors will be coming very soon. Also, Alicia, i think all of those looked great on you. I really couldnt pick a favorite!!😊😊😊
Thank you, Amy! And you’re good! I know there are hardcore Fenty Stans, but I too was surprised. Even the model they used to show Mocha Mami I felt looked like she had a blush on, and less of a bronzer. And I’m confident as well that they will release more shades!
Wonderful video! Much needed!
Another great video Alicia
Thank you so much for watching!
The EXACT review I needed, as all these shades (Fenty and Benefit) were in my shopping cart and couldn't make a decision :)
Thank you for that! I’m happy you know that this helps!
@@aliciaarcher I recommend Morphe in the shade Leader, it's more warm, being a orange brown color.
@@aliciaarcher it might be a little much, but I think that one would work on your skin as well.
I love Amber!!!!!
She’s phenomenal!
She is and I’ve mentioned you over on her channel and I love how you ladies support one another. #thereismorethanenough
Another great video!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Have you ever tried to apply foundation with the Sculpt one(big white one)? Could you compare it to the WG holiday and 24s brush? It doesn't have to be a video.

Great video Alicia!!
I swear you are like my sister/bestie in my head!!!! Your videos are the best!!!! For now I think I'm sticking with my Becca Impanema Sun because I like that's it's not so matte and it gives me a natural warmth that I love!!! But I'm gonna test out the Hoola one and the Fenty Coco Naughty for sure. I didn't try the Anastasia one because it was matte. But I might even check it out. I did like theToo Faced Dark chocolate one. But once I found the Becca one, my heart was stolen. Let's see if it can be swayed. 😉
Every time you put Bajan over another bronzer I was like I love it! 😂😂😂 It just seemed to add another layer of depth. I’m trying to decide if I’m going to buy Fenty or Benefit. I feel a certain kind of way about Benefit taking so long BUT it looks beautiful so it’s clear that they didn’t just throw it out so they wouldn’t be left behind with being “inclusive “. My favorite bronzer is Becca (Maui Night) but I can only wear it in the summer. It’s too dark for me in the winter and Spring. I fall in the shade where the deepest one is too dark and the one before it needs to be layered because it’s not deep enough. I’m the shade in-between deep and deep dark . 😂😂.
The bloopers you’ve started adding at the end are hilarious!
Thank you, Tamiko! Yes questions are left unanswered concerning Benefit’s timeline, but I’m happy they at least nailed the shades 😅 And I love putting Bajan Gyal over everything. It’s like the best veil of burnt! 🤣
Hi Alicia, I hope you are doing great! I’m debating between Marc Jacobs o!mega bronzer coconut perfect tan (tan-tasting) and Fenty beauty sun stalk’r (India sun). I’m fair skin with pink undertones and quarantine and all I can’t go swatch the bronzes in store. Can you briefly tell me what are the main differences and which one you prefer? Thanks! Love your videos ❤️💕
Hi hi! Marc has fragrance, and has a neutral undertone. I unfortunately don’t have Indi Sun, so I won’t be able to tell you the difference. But if you don’t like coconut scents, then don’t get the Marc. Fenty’s bronzer is fragrance free!
kinkysweat thanks so much!!!
Not sure if you've picked up the little natasha denona bronze and glow. It will work on our skin tones. Im almost the same skin tone as you are so ive been living off of your reveiws haha . So thank you
I ended up getting natasha mini and im really surprised how warm it is it made it look like a warm bronzer on my skin it looks nice. However if someone wants a brontour type of thing they wont like it.
Thank you for letting me know! If I bump into it, I’ll check it out!
Love The bloopers at the end. 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you, Sue!
LOL! You are so great! Love your videos.
This video helped me so much omg!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!!
Do you wear Nars foundation?? If so which color??
I need that SG face pro brush ... :0(((
It is truly life changing!
Great video!
Thank you, Andrea!!!
I’d love to see fenty compared to guerlain bronzers!
I don’t have the Guerlain 😩
I feel like bronzers with red undertones give a more realistic look if you want that true sun bronzed look, because the sun would cause that redness in the skin naturally.
So helpful! What would be even more helpful, is if you told me where you got those tye dye Nike slides in the back. 😂
lol I'm not ashamed to admit that my Soleil Tan De Chanel is well over 4 years old and I still use it with no issues so 18 months is nothing in comparison, don't waste the good stuff.
You know!? And I have a lot left! 🤪
Hi Alicia 🌟
Hi Charli!!!
I’m torn when it comes to Benefit Hoola Toasted bronzer. I want to buy it but i always go in Sephora then end up putting it back when i get to the register because they took so long to finally include us darker skin girls. I threw my coin towards Fenty of course for their new bronzer but i feel like Mocha Mami is a little too red.
I get it, and perhaps we can flip the coin and show Benefit that we also buy makeup and should be considered when creating shades. It would be a travesty if they waited this long to only release a shade that didn’t work at all. Maybe Fenty will release more neutral toned bronzers. I’m actually going to write Benefit and ask why they took so long 🙈🤣 I’m interested in their answer because we’ve seen some wacky ones!
Fenty bronzers is the best bronzers I have tried.
I’ve been loving them!!
I have a problem with Fenty bronzer being so red especially In the the darker colors.
Had to watch again to know how to use Chanel bronzer
Any of your goat hair brushes will be bomb! Have you played with it yet?
@@aliciaarcher using this morning, I used it just like u did.🤩🤩
Bronzers should not be as hard as they make it. I need to try out some of Fenty to see if their lighter will work on me. I like your idea of layering. I'd not really tried that before.
Let me know! I feel if the undertones are right, muddying will not happen.
@@aliciaarcher Will do :)
For deeper skin tones, it gets cooler because more often than not, deeper skin tones get cooler, not warmer.
I feel like HOOLA only expanded their bronzers because it's been the "cool" thing to do. Like inclusion is some sort of trend 🙄. I eventually want to get a Fenty bronzer because I love the few products I have and Rihanna is 👑.
Wait.... what Natasha Denona do???
👍🏾
🤗✨
I love this video I’m definitely going to start layering my bronzers
Check out my FENTY beauty bronzer review and tell me what you think
Benefit and Physicians Formula are about a decade late on their product releases.
Pretty much 🤦🏽♀️ But I’m happy at least Benefit came out with shades that work. They could’ve released one more deeper. I guess we need to wait 10 more years for that shade 🤪
To be honest I think you should mention these shade issues during your reviews, brands watch reviews & they need to be aware of their limitations
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love chatty Alicia!
Great video Alicia! I’ve only been wearing makeup for a year and I’m a shade or so darker than you. You brought such great points to the forefront. I feel fortunate I didn’t wear makeup earlier because it would have been soooo frustrating to be waiting endlessly for products that suited my skin tone. It’s an exciting time that we are in that the world is becoming a little more conscious of all of the beauty there is in all skin tones. So much more work to do, you’re right, but I’m glad that these steps are happening. Boo to false advertising! Keep being awesome, you’re lovely inside out!
