Let’s face it, most of us spend the majority of our time inside. And that means we need ways other than the sun to get that nice golden glow. But that doesn’t mean you need to shell out big bucks for a little taste of sun-kissed skin. Meet these gorgeous Hoola bronzer dupes that will have you glowing like a goddess without sacrificing too much of your hard-earned dollars and cents.

Benefit’s Hoola bronzer is special. We get it. So we hunted down the dupes that beauty junkies swear by. (Just don’t forget to define those brows with one of these Anastasia Brow Wiz dupes first.) But then we also divided them into two categories: double threats and single-use product.

We know a lot of you use Hoola as a bronzer and contouring product. So everything you see that’s a double threat can be used the same way. These products tend to have cooler tones so you can use them to chisel those cheekbones. The single-use products are amazing Hoola bronzer dupes, but can only be used as bronzer.

Before we launch into comparing all these products to the original, here’s a quick breakdown. You know what you use Hoola for, so pick your category accordingly. You’ll find that either way you have plenty of products to choose from.

They’ll chisel your cheekbones and also give you a sun-kissed glow.

theBalm Bahama Mama Matte Bronzer

Overall verdict: There’s not an orange tone in sight here, say people who swear by this Hoola bronzer dupe. And that’s exactly why it can be used for bronzing or contouring. The product blends easily, which means you’ll get a natural finish. It does have a slight fragrance, but most people report enjoying this feature.

Shade match: Dark Tan

Main features:

W7 Cosmetics Bronzing Face Powder

Overall verdict: Make sure to swatch this one on your arm before you buy. Although most people love W7’s Honolulu as a Benefit Hoola bronzer dupe, some people report that it’s a touch darker than the original. That might not be a problem, though, since it’s so easy to blend.

Shade match: Honolulu

Tarte Amazonian Clay Bronzer

Overall verdict: For many of you, this will work as a Hoola bronzer dupe. For others — sorry, cool toned sisters — it might lean a little warm. If it doesn’t look orange on your skin, though, you’ll get gorgeous color that’s blendable and buildable. But it does have a bit of a shimmer, which separates it from Benefit’s pure matte look.

NYX Matte Bronzer

Shade match: Medium

Main features:

• Buildable formula
• Natural finish, not cakey
• Blends well

Overall verdict: Loving the matte look? Swap out your Hoola bronzer for this drugstore alternative. Makeup addicts who swear by this product tout its matte finish, sun-kissed glow, and lightweight formula that makes building color still feel effortless. Bonus: you get about double the product for half the price. That’ll give anyone a sunny disposition.

Shade match: Sun Light

Main features:

• Doesn’t leave any orange glow

Shade match: Ticket to Brazil

Main features:

• Very pigmented but buildable

Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Butter Bronzer

Overall verdict: If you’re willing to give a satin finish a chance, nab this drugstore dupe. It keeps winning awards for the best bronzer has a hoard of fans to prove it deserves the titles.
