| This is a VERY heavy swatch but shows how well it builds and evens out the skin tone |
I got this way back in November, tried it a few times and threw it to the back of my make-up stash not to be thought of again...until July! When I tried it back in November I used the Real Techniques beauty sponge to apply it and found the product just sat on my skin really badly and was really patchy. I then tried just using my fingers to apply it but found the same thing happened. I was GUTTED as I'd read many a good review on this product and was excited to try it.
So, along comes July, and we've had a few warm-ish days as our 'summer' and although it wasn't quite 'taps aff' weather it was warm enough for me to really not fancy putting foundation on my skin. On days like these I reach for a BB cream but had run out of my Garnier one- blog here- so thought I would try the Benefit one again.
This time I thought I'd try applying it with the Real Techniques Buffing Brush and this was a game changer! The product applied beautifully and left an invisible appearance. It has a light to medium coverage but has a very natural finish so it looks like I'm not wearing anything on my skin but just have a lovely glowly and even complexion. It lasts very well throughout the day without turning patchy and even managed to control my oil quite a bit- the most I've ever experienced for a BB cream! I do still need to powder though- story of my life!
All in all, this is a brilliant BB cream AND it's SPF 35 so would be ideal on holidays when you want a relaxed and easy look while protecting your skin. This would also be ideal for any 'no make-up make-up days'. These are available from all Benefit counters and will set you back £28.50 (ouch!) and comes in 6 shades. I have shade '03- Light Medium' and find it's a perfect match.
So lesson to be learnt today...If a product doesn't apply well the first time then don't give up! Simply swap the brush/applicator and you could end up falling in love with it!
