Benefit Hello Flawless! Custom Powder Cover Up

I love love love this powder cover-up. It covers everything instantly. Don't be too heavy handed though, because you will see it.

A once avid reviewer, I haven't felt compelled to review anything in quite a while. I got talked into buying this powder when I went in for Benetint lip balm, it was part of a preorder event at Macy's where they gave you a ton of free products. I sort of figured that I wouldn't use this or like it, but went for the deal anyway because I'm a sucker.

On the contrary. I really, really like this. I am not a fan of liquid foundation, therefore I have gravitated toward mineral makeup and the like. Most days, however, I just wear a little concealer and blot powder. I don't need or like a lot of coverage, just redness around my nose.

This powder is pretty heavy duty, as another reviewer noted. I don't like the included brush or sponge, but I think the packaging is OK otherwise. I use my Ecotools powder brush to apply this VERY lightly. I wear the Never Settle Petal shade - which looks dark in the pan but works for me. It provides decent coverage for my nose and evens out the rest of my skin nicely. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERDO IT!! It's so easy. Buffing a little with a kabuki helps this.

I find it very similar to mineral makeup. It's got a matte finish, no sparkle. Do not use if you have dry or flaky skin--this will only exacerbate it. I was first using it after I had returned from visiting my fiance in Canada, and my skin was CHAPPED. I had to forgo this until it healed, but now it is fantastic. I love that it has SPF, and have not had any adverse reactions to it, and I have sensitive skin. Overall, I recommend trying this powder. It is pretty steeply priced, at $34 USD. I've repurchased a few times, and find that it lasts quite a while - about a year for me, with almost-daily usage.

I love this stuff! I have very sensitive skin and heavy make irritates my skin especially my cheeks and this powder has amazing coverage and is great for undereye spot concealing. The only thing not so great is the price.

goes on naturally. It feels very light and natural.

I decided to give this product a try as I needed a light make up finish and ocasional retouch powder. I have to say, I love the texture, it really mattifies and goes on lightly, without looking cakey and heavy on top of my already thick layer of cream, base and foundation.
I am impressed. It`s an overall good product, I have the Honey shade, and goes well nicely with my skin colour. Blends nicely. Lasts well.
I have yet to try it on bare skin, but I am not brave enough, perhaps later on in the summer I shall venture out into the cold without my thick protective layer of foundation under.

I would say, its worth it!

First off I am a self confessed Benefit Cosmetics fan!!...if you are ever feeling hesitant to purchase any of their products because you think the packaging is just some kitchy catch....don't be!! Their cosmetics are seriously great!!...

"Hello Flawless" is their newest facial powder, which depending on how you apply it, gives sheer to maximum coverage complete with SPF 15. It comes with a brush, for sheer coverage or a sponge for max. coverage.

I tried both application methods and have to say, I found the brush to be quite useless. So I used one of my own, (kabuki) and the powder went on very smooth, and gave great natural looking coverage. One word of caution though: if you use moisturiser, let it soak into your face for a good 15 mins.before you apply this powder. I found that if my moisturiser wasn't soaked in enough, then Hello Flawless was Hello Cakey Face!

I think it's a good product, and it works well, and it goes on smooth and the colour matches well with my own skin tone. However, it's not the ultimate in powder foundations for me. I am feeling like I can still live without it, and for me I usually stick with a product when I feel, I can not live w/o this stuff!! For me, it's just a little too much coverage, I like a nice sheer, coverage, and have a feeling I will be going back to my BE for that, but will continue to use Hello Flawless for concealer, because it doesn't go all cakey like some concealers.

If you are looking for max. coverage in a powder foundation, I would reccomend this product completely!!

I have this in "Me, vain?" CHAMPAGNE and it's a fantastic powder. I have been using this instead of MAC studio fix and I find that the coverage is even a little bit better. I love that the compact comes with a brush and a sponge. If you use the sponge you get flawless coverage. With the brush, it's a bit lighter.

I love this product, it's another new favourite.

I've been using "hello flawless" lately to finish my makeup. First off, Benefit packaging has to be one of my favourites out of all the beauty brands! This powder is multi-purpose. For full coverage use the sponge and for lighter coverage use the brush. If you are spot concealing, use the sponge and then use the brush to blend. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin and makes my skin look radiant and flawless. My skin can get a bit flaky and dry so I prefer to use it to finish my makeup. I also find that it doesn't feel heavy or cakey towards the end of the day. As for the range of colours, I think Benefit could make their selection a bit bigger. I'm using the darkest no. 6 "why walk when you can strut?" which is supposed to be for dark-deep dark complexions. I'm a medium-dark complexion - that would be my only complaint. Otherwise, for me it works!
