REVIEW: Benefit Hello Flawless! Powder Foundation
10:45:00 PM
First off, you all have to know that I wear really light makeup because I can't stand the feeling of thick layers of makeup on my face. As a matter of fact, I don't even wear makeup everyday. For certain events like a special evening with my boyfriend, or even work experience in a pharmacy, then yeah I'll throw on some light makeup but apart from that, I just can't be bothered.
My go-to base just to make my face look more presentable and to lighten any acne marks or darkness under my eyes is this product right here.
Benefit's Hello Flawless! Powder Foundation
This product claims to:
Glide on naturally sheer and layer beautifully for customized coverage.
Perfect for any skin type.
Satin finish
It does what it says!
Now, I can't remember when I bought it but I think I got it for $59 at Myers.
Don't get this expecting full coverage because if that's the case, this isn't what you're looking for.
If you're like me, and you prefer a very light sheer coverage then this is for you.
You could use a brush or a sponge to apply it onto your face.
I usually use a sponge for slightly more coverage than with the brush.
It goes on matte, and stays on for quite long. I don't usually wear makeup when I know I'm going to be out for a long period so I'd say it lasts about 4-5 hours at least. I'm not sure if it lasts from day to night though, but if you do please let me know!
I would test it out, but I just can't stand having makeup on my face for too long.
As you can see, I've used up almost all of it.
It's also got SPF in it, even though quite low, but better than none at all especially when you're heading out for a quick run to get some groceries.

DeleteSPF is really important! I find myself lazy to put on so many layers of stuff so I have to have spf in my foundation. But not many foundation last from day to night, especially in Malaysian weather.
ReplyDeleteYes yes I feel the same way too! I've used this in Malaysia and it seems to last for quite a good while :)
DeleteBenefit is definitely one of my favorite products outside my Japanese and Korean brand craze.... and this one looks pretty awesome.. would love to check them out for sure...

DeleteIs the brush smooth and comfortable to use? That's quite cozy 😱

Deletelovely post. I heard many good review about the product.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) yes it's been raved about a lot especially recently when they changed their packaging!
DeleteI'm most interested in a product like this. Just a base but no make up. This is pretty expensive, though. Looking for something that my budget can support.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is pretty pricey. But keep an eye out here! I'm looking around for a good drugstore powder foundation and I'll do a review for it as well :)
DeleteI just need a foundation now. Specially have SPF like this one!
ReplyDeleteYes try this one out and let me know what you think ☺️
DeleteHaven't try their powder before. Seem not bad. =D

ReplyDeleteCheers,
Everest

DeleteI wanna get my hands on this thing. look nice.
ReplyDeleteHead to your nearest Benefit store! Or buy it online :)
DeleteAwhhh, Benefit has nice shades and I love it. Will get at the nearest Benefit stores.
ReplyDeleteGlad you've decided to get it !
DeleteI love the packaging too. Easier for me to bring it out.
ReplyDeleteYes the packaging is so cute and compact! :) Perfect to fit in your handbag
DeleteFlawless skin ... okay note that
ReplyDeletewill look for that :)
Haha yeah :) Buildable too so it gives more coverage if you'd like.
Deletelove their naming of the products. I don't like thick layer of makeup too. will definitely check this out!
ReplyDeleteYeah they're pretty creative with their names. Great that you're gonna check it out! :)
DeleteI read so many good reviews about this brand, plan to give it a try as well :)
ReplyDeleteYeah Benefit is pretty well known. Hope you like it! :)
DeleteI think Benefit is probably that one brand I shop at the most haha! T_T How I wish my products can hit pan also haih. I can never finish my makeup products until its been left there way too long to be used again. :( On the side note, I've used their Hello flawless liquid foundation but I think the powder one gives a better coverage!
ReplyDeleteI love this product a lot so that's why I'm able to finish it. I love their liquid foundation as well and I'm using that now too!
DeleteWhich one do you think gives better coverage though? Cause I've never owned the powder one :( Only managed to swatch it in stores :c
DeleteI'm really loving the foundation right now and since it's liquid I think it blends into our skin better than the powder in terms of coverage and how flawless/smooth the skin will look :)
