HELLO!- Did you have a nice bank holiday weekend?
While I was busy enjoying my weekend I managed to make a quick dash into a well known department store to pick up Benefit's brand new liquid foundation which has literally only just come into stores this month....
I had read a number of articles about the product before deciding I would have to buy it and see for myself!
And the foundation does not disappoint let me tell you...I have worn it each day since I bought it this Saturday and it really lives up to the hype...
First off this is what the foundation claims to:
Brighten the skin
make the skin appear more luminous & smooth
build from a light coverage to a medium
give you the highest grade of SPF25.
I would describe the foundation as being a half way between a B.B cream and a tinted moisturizer... although the foundation comes out quite thin and liquid it actually gives a really decent coverage, one that I would say was a more moderate coverage...
When I applied it, it did indeed feel very smoothing and provided just the right amount of coverage...perfect for the warmer months ahead or if you are going on holiday and still want to wear a foundation...it really did make my skin look very smooth and flawless plus gave it a glow which, because I have dry skin, is really important...
The foundation is oil free but I would say that if you had oily blemish prone skin then it may be too moisurising for you and you may feel you don't need the extra moisture it contains...if you have oily skin and still want a moderate coverage foundation for the summer then a great choice is Clinique's Superbalanced foundation which is light and mousse like plus provides a matte finish...
The foundation in my opinion is a winner if you tend to suffer from occasional dry or dull skin, or if you have normal skin then the foundation will give your skin the appearance of being really plumped up, dewy and luminous!
Overall the foundation is REALLY very good and for once is a product I can safely say lives up to what it says it can do...it probably is the best foundation I have ever used...It is perfect for the summer as it has the SPF25 and as you all know sun protection is a MUST these days...
The foundation costs £24.50 so it is middle of the range for price...I am hoping it will last me until the end of the summer as you only need one small pumps worth for daily application...
P.S the coverage is buildable too so if you want a bit more cover into the evening then it is very easy to just apply a second layer to give the foundation more impact...
