Benefit Hello Flawless Liquid Foundation

A few nights ago I went along to the launch of Benefit’s new liquid foundation ‘Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow’. I really can’t believe they’ve gone all this time without a staple liquid foundation, but it was worth the wait as the 3 years it took to create this foundation really shows in the quality and performance. The event was hosted on the 24th floor of Tower 42 with incredible views of London. The lovely Jasmine introduced us to the foundation and the head of makeup Lisa gave us a demonstration.

The foundation comes in 9 shades to match their popular Hello Flawless powder; 3 light, 3 medium and 3 dark with a mix of pinks and yellows. It retails for £24.50 and is available online and in store from 31st March. It also comes with a free sample of their primer ‘The Porefessional’, which is really useful if you haven’t yet tried it. The foundation is oil free and has spf 25 PA+++, which basically means it protects you from everything! I got matched with the colour “I’m so Money” Honey.

So how did I get on with it? I applied this at 6.30am with a buffing brush. I was worried that it would be too sheer but once it was buffed in, it was a light/medium coverage that looked really natural. It had a really nice dewy finish that wasn’t too dewy and didn’t require any powder to set it. The main thing that really impressed me about this foundation was that it lasted ALL day without any touch ups. I kept checking every couple of hours and my skin looked the same throughout the day. It also made my skin feel really soft and felt light and fresh, unlike many foundations I try. 

The Benefit team were so lovely and so excited about the new product! They are currently touring around the UK showing off the new foundation and they are right to be so proud of it, it’s really great! 

So will you be trying this new foundation? Are you a fan of Benefit?
