They say "This silky powder cover-up glides on naturally sheer and layers beautifully for customised coverage with SPF protection. Complete with brush and sponge and dual application lesson."
My Thoughts
This is a good product, but it's easy to get it wrong. The key is to apply it lightly using a fluffy powder brush, this will give you a lovely matified finish and help you stay oil free for hours. However, this is quite a soft product and is quite easy to apply too much which will have a bit of a cakey finish.The powder, like all good ones, is very finely milled. It comes with the typical Benefit brush, as well as a makeup sponge applicator depending on the finish you're going for and a nice large mirror. Hello Flawless comes in 10 different shades for different skin tones.
All in all this is a good powder, just make sure you don't apply it too heavily. If you keep it nice and light you'll have a lovely oil free complexion for hours :)
Where you can find it: At Benefit counters, and online.
Cost: £25.50
Would I repurchase: Yes, but only if I have lots of spare cash :)

Hi gorgeous. I had the same thoughts with this powder - it is so easy to apply too much, I suggest always tapping your brush to ensure a light coverage to begin with and just build it up gradually. I actually find this the same with all Benefit's powders - great if you like full coverage but not so great if you don't like too much.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I love your blog ✿
Lots of love xxxxxx
Thanks sweetie :) I agree with the brush tapping :)
DeleteAmen to the SPF protection! It's always an added bonus isn't it? :) Great review!
ReplyDeleteYeah it's always useful :D
DeleteI wasn't so keen on this powder, which is a shame because I've never found a Benefit product to be a let down! :( I found it crumbled away very easily in the palette :( xxx
ReplyDeleteAww - yeah it's quite a loose powder :)
DeleteI really really like this, so easy to apply, looks natural and I love the packaging x

Yeah it's really pretty packaging!
DeleteThis sounds quite nice, I'm not very good at being light handed though haha x
ReplyDeleteJust be sure to tap off the excess :D
DeleteIt sounds like a nice product, I'll definitely have to check this out a Benefit counter next time I'm out!

You'll have to let me know how you get on :)
DeleteI've been using this one a lot lately. I use the Real Techniques Buffing Brush, and I find that it gives me the perfect coverage. Instead of swirling the brush in the compact though I just tap it, and it puts enough product on the brush b/c as some people mentioned it's really soft and loose.
