I am not a great fan of powder, as I do not like the look it gives your skin, I have always felt that it clings to every tiny hair that you have on my face and makes me look awful! During my Benefit Haul (see previous post), I was introduced to 'Hello Flawless' which is a powder cover up. If I am honest, I only bought it as I felt that I should, the beauty assistant swore by it.
I popped it in my bag and never gave it a second look until recently, I was at an important meeting at work on a stuffy and hot day. I had looked in the mirror and could see my foundation melting off, I needed to act quick so grabed out my powder and gave it a go.
I was so surprised how much I loved it, and so quickly, usually it takes me a couple of applications. In the box you get two different applicators, a sponge to pat onto red spots and blemishes, and a brush to use over the rest of your face, it instantly gave me a 'just done my makeup' look and made my makeup last until the end of the day. I was also so pleased that it did not give me a hairy face! I also love the packaging, I do think that you pay for the quirkiness of benefit at times... but I still love it :-)
What do you think of powder? do you use it all the time? what is your favorite powder?

This is a translucent powder, right? I have one of those from too faced and i love it in summer. My skin is so oily and it is perfect for touch ups during the day without making your foundation look cakey!

Can't live without it and I always have a spare one just in case! This powder gets more amazing when it breaks! I didn't love the product at first but mine fell down and broke the powder. It became a loose powder and I fell in love with it :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Ladies... I have followed you all back.
ReplyDeleteI have just bought Rimmels Stay Matt, if I am honest I love this product just as much and it is only a fraction of the price! Loving the blogs!! x
