usually i would qualify myself as having medium skin, but lately i've gotten really pale and my skin is more pale. i layer the product to determine how much i want. it's easy to just put a little on. it definitely won't make you orange. i have a lot of bronzers and i like this one the best.

no it would be perfect for you, its not that dark its like sunkissed.

I have very fair skin. And it looks perfect on me! It's not orange at all.

This product is great for fair skin. I am PALE. I have found this to be really light and pretty and the bronze shade doesn't have an orange hue like some other ones I've tried. It doesn't go on super dark so you don't have to really worry about over applying. Just sweep it on and blend it out :)

noo its not a very dark bronzer so i'm sure it will look fine!

Nah,it's perfect!i'm a light skinned mexican lady ahaha...
it works great with fair skin

It isn't too dark for anyone's skin. Both colors are very light and you can barely see the highlighter. I wouldn't waste your money on it. It truly isn't worth the price and I am sending mine back.

No, I have light-fair skin and this is very sheer and very pretty. It won't turn you scary dark or look strange on lighter or fair skin tones.

I am really fair with very dark brown hair and eyes (when I do tan, I get brown - it's the little bit of native american in me - not orange, bronzy, golden, just brown. Right now, I'm really white! :) It works great for me and is NOT orange at all. The bronzer is very buildable so put on as much as you want. If you get it too dark, just buff a little off with some tissue or cotton ball. I use an angle brush in the bronzer and the little one it came with just for the highlighter part.

The beauty of this product is the fact that it looks wonderful on every skin tone!!! I am light to medium skin toned and use this every day. I also use this product on a lot of my friends and my fair skinned friends love it on them. I would recommend just doing one sweep instead of multiple because since you have fair skin you don't really need to make the color super intense. I hope this was a helpful answer :)

no! Hoola is darker and complete matte. this has shimmer, but it's not overly shimmery.

No this is not Hoola or Dandelion. Hoola is more of a matte bronzer and Dandelion is more pinky. 10 is a shimmery bronzer and highlight. The pinkish side is not very pink on skin, its more of a highlighter.

No, hoola is a matte finish bronzer, and the pink in this set is more opal than dandelion pink.

No, Hoola is much more of a matte shade (some might like that better for contouring. Dandelion is a blush, whereas the lighter shade in 10 is a highlight, so muuuuch lighter and much more shimmery. :)

no hoola is darker and doesn't have shimmer and dandelion is darker than this pink

No! It may be the Hoola bronzer, but the its definitely NOT the Dandelion Blush. This is a highlight, NOT blush!

I can't even begin to read the stupid label. It is the smallest I have ever received that I would like to read the ingredient list. I used 4 magnifying glasses and still couldn't see it. Sorry just wanted you to know that someone tried to answer you.

No, not at all. Dandilion is a pink blush and Hoola is a dark matte brown bronzer (no sparkle). Benefit 10 is a very light-pink highlight (not a blush at all) and the bronzer next to it is lighter and more shimmery compared to Hoola, very different.

It is DEFINITELY lighter than Dandelion and I'm pretty sure lighter w/ a bit of sheen than is Hoola. Can't find the bronzer separately - I tried!

This product is very similar to both Hoola and Dandelion, but the highlighter and bronzer both have a shimmery effect to them. The highlighter is a little less intense than Dandelion and also like previously stated has a shimmer effect. The bronzer isn't matte like Hoola either. If you want a matte finish then definitely choose Hoola. I personally LOVE this product and to me it is a make-up bag must have. I hope this was helpful and not too confusing :)

You may have to since the highlighting half of the powder is sheer and colorless.

no this is a blush and bronzer in one product.

I do use blush on top of it, mostly because my skin is the color of the bronzer, so it doesn't necessarily add color for me. I like 10's light reflecting properties which is why I use it (it just seems to brighten me up nicely) but I also like a slight dark pink flush to my face, so I still use blush. I imagine if you're somewhat paler than me then the product will give you enough color to not look washed out even if you don't add blush.

You can if you'd like. I was just at sephora and the makeup artist applied a cargo peach toned blush to the apples of my cheeks and I think it gave it a more personalized feel to this combo and made it...more for me I guess you would say. Alone this duo works just fine. :)

blush finishes it ,but i dnt use any blush on my skin cos i already have rosy cheeks,,but u dnt hav to,,i would try the pink powder in the kit,,IT WORKS!!!

yes you do, unless you use the bronzer side as a blush. (which i would recommend doing because there is no way a bronzer this shimmery could be used for contour.)

No, I use bronzer as my blush however, my skin is pretty tan so, I would say if you are light-med skin tone this will be the perfect blusher for you!!!

it makes your cheek bones look amazing but I normally add a little blush for some color since this mainly highlights and contours. it looks fine on it's own too though.

I do use blush too. I use a cream blush by Mac and then put the highlighter over the top. Looks great.

I swirl the colors together and apply it to the apples of my cheeks like a blush. Then I apply just the lighter color to my cheekbones and it looks great and I don't need any other blush.

This is a really nice highlighter if you have light skin. If your skin's dark you prob'ly won't be able to see it. I love this. It's just the right amount of sheen without glitter. It is very subtle but you can apply more if you need to.

same as high beam!

I say stick with highbeam or any other liquid highlighter to make your cheeks really pop! But if you are looking for a great way to define your cheekbones, this is a wonderful product.

On my skin tone this is like the powdered version of high beam for me... which I like because I just prefer powders to liquid forms of highlighter.

Layer High Beam under for evening, but recommend omitting the High Beam for daytime if you are going for a softer look.

As a highlighter, stick to highbeam, the pink tones the bronzer. This bronzer is great if you have lighter skin, not great for tan skin... For highlighting keep the high beam and of course the eyebright is a must have!! Can't leave home without it!

it highlights very well. I have never used high beam but this is very shimmery and light so it could work as a highlighting product too, just be sure you don't pick up the bronzer when you're using it for that!

I LOVE this highlighter. Personally, I like it SO much better than the highbeam. I find the highbeam tends to remove any foundation I have on. And this pale pink highlighter isn't powdery (like you might think) it just adds a fantastic glow. I've had a zillion comments about how great my skin looks when I'm wearing it. I love it.

I use both to be honest. I use my too faced retractable kabuki brush and swirl it around to mix the colors together and use it as a bronzer. Then I use high beam on my cheekbones and apply just this highlighter over it to kind of set it.

I def. see a difference in High Beam and the highlighter here. I think the highlighter here is more pale. When using a cream or liquid its good to use a powder on top to make sure it stays. Using this over high beam may be a good idea or using this in a day look and using high beam for night or evetns is another idea. This kit is more of a contour and highlight kit than anything. The bronzer is beautiful but it can be used to contour the cheeks right under the cheekbone and on the sides of the nose, sides of the forehead, very lightly along the jawline and then use the highlighter lightly under the bronzer that goes under your cheekbones and use on top of cheekbones down your nose and on your chin. Just some pointers.

Me too! The highlighter definitely can be if you use too much. The bronzer: definitely not shiny/shimmery. I do NOT apply as directed, which is to sweep the brush across half and half and then apply b/c it is then too shimmery for me (the lighter is). I use an angle blush brush for the bronzer and use the applicator brush it came with just on the highlighter color to apply just above the bronzer on the very top of my cheekbones. It is PERFECT that way!

The bronzer is definitely shiny/shimmery, but I have noticed if I brush it a little after I apply the shimmer goes down. :)

No, it gives the perfect glow for my light skin tone!

Not too sparkly in my opinion. The sparkle bits are so finely ground that it stays far away from the "glittery" look and seems to brighten without looking like a Vegas showgirl in full stage makeup.

in my opinion, it is. i ended up returning this product for that reason alone.

Not at all, this is more matte and it is fab for light to med skin tones..Not for darker skin tones it is too subtle...

the bronzer is pretty shimmery, if you're looking for a more matte bronzer I definitely don't reccomend this.

No - it's really light and subtle. I put it on my cheekbones, down the center of my nose and even just under my eyebrows (with a smaller shadow brush). It's fabulous.

No, it is not too shiny/glittery at all. It has just the right amount of shimmer.

I have medium skin and this bronzer is great for me, very natural looking, great contouring. It seems to be a bit darker than many bronzers I've seen, with just the right amount of shimmer.

It might be. If you have medium skin already before summer...... I think the highlighter definitely will be so why waste your money if you can only use half of it? Go for the one a bit darker.

I would bet it will be - it was almost too light for me. I'd advise against it, but you can always try it and return it if you don't like it!

I don't think so. I have light skin and use only one coat of the bronzer but I have a friend who uses the same product and she has medium/olive toned skin and the product gives her a great glow. She may apply more than I do though but it looks fabulous.

Great for fair - medium skin. Fair and freckles and I love the color it adds to my face!

It will be.... I returned it, I loved it if it was only a tad bit darker..If you are using it as blush, it will be to light.. However, remember you can always return it if you don't like it (Which I had to do) but, my Sephora store was gracious about it! (Of course)

The pale pink highlighter is virtually translucent when it's on (meaning it doesn't add a great deal of color). It just adds glow! Really, it would be great on any skin tone. The bronze, on the other hand, I feel is a little dark for me (I have medium toned skin). I don't use that side as much.

I find this product to have a very healthy natural looking shimmer.

The bronzer is definitely NOT too shimmery/shiny. The highlighter can be, so be careful when applying. The bronzer is easily buildable if you decide to you need more.

I have benefit 10 and it is definitely not too glittery or sparkly. The luminizer side gives you just the right amount of shimmer. People wonder what you are doing to have such a healthy glow! It doesnt look like you are wearing makeup.

It has a soft shimmer, not super glittery, but far from matte.

I wouldn't say that it is sparkly...the pink side does "illuminate" and add that glow (similar to pearly white eyeshadow). I myself love it, and I have large pores, and sparkly things make them look bigger, but I am pleased with this product by far, the superior blendability may be what you are looking for...

NOT at all, go for it, it is lighter however so if you skin tone is med-dark then it will be too light for you... It was not glittery and remember Sephora has a FAB return policy, if you don't like it....return it...it is that simple!!!

No! I didn't think it was glittery at all.

I've looked at the ingredients on the back of the package & I do not see that ingredient listed

They usually don't have samples of this product but in a Sephora store or a Benefit counter in a department store you can try on the product. But I definitely recommend this product, I know spending $28 on makeup may sound crazy but trust me this is amazing!

Not sure if they have samples for a product like this, but I will say it does last a long time! If you are fair complected it's a must have!

they usually can make a sample of anything in the store so just ask!
