Lately, I've been noticing my skin can sometimes look a bit sallow or too cool for how sunny it usually is in Texas, so I've been trying to warm my face up a bit with makeup. Benefit's Hoola Bronzer used to be my go-to product for contouring the hallows of my cheeks, but it was a bit too neutral for me to keep wearing these days. So when I was at Sephora a few weeks ago, I picked up this TANtalizer Highlighter and Matte Bronzer Duo compact from LORAC.
