I was given a sample of this foundation by the Benefit counter and I was so excited to try it because..
1) It's Benefit
2) It's oil free (I have a super oily face)
3) It's supposed to look like skin but better.
4) The packaging is cute
5) Light coverage. (I don't really fancy thick foundation on my face)
But I didn't like it. At all. What a bummer :(
Pros:
1) It's lightweight and does not feel heavy on the skin
2) It does give you a slight brightening effect.
3) Application is pretty smooth, it doesn't get patchy or cakey.
Cons:
1) It makes me look SUPER oily. I've never looked so oily with any type of base products before.
2) It feels really greasy and gross after just a few hours of wearing (~3 hours). I could literally feel the oil on my face and the once lightweight foundation just feels like it's clogging up all my pores and... it's just doesn't feel good.
2) It oxidizes to a really dark and pink(?) colour. It's just a few hours of wear and the colour difference is crazy and it doesn't look flattering at all.
3) My bronzer and blush products also totally disappeared off my cheeks after that few hours of wear.
4) After that few hours of wear, it makes me skin look clogged and worse than it already is.
Overall, I definitely do not recommend this product especially for people with oily skin because this is your worse nightmare, as much as I wanted to love this. Worn this foundation once and that's enough for me.
My rating: 0/10
