Benefit Hello Flawless
Shade: Toasted Beige
Well what can I say this is truly a keeper! I wanted a light foundation I could wear on a daily basis but with still enough coverage. I went into Debenhams and got matched up at Benefit. The way the girl did my make-up was amazing and my skin looked flawless. When I got home and tried it my self I wasn't so keen but then thought it might be the primer so tried it without, it was ok but still wasn't perfect and I wasn't going to be repurchasing... That is until this morning when I decided to use Body Shops vitamin C skin reviver as my primer wow the foundation applied effortlessly and looked so smooth with even coverage and tone. I am now sold on this it is my favourite it is light enough for me not to notice I am wearing foundation, super blend able and lasts all day! I love the texture of the formula and how hydrating it is. Also a huge plus the packaging it is a pump which means minimum waste and so easy when your in a rush. I will definitely be repurchasing.
Overall thoughts: LOVE LOVE LOVE!
MAC Studio Fix Fluid
Shade: NC42
I used to LOVE this foundation I wore it everyday and then I stopped wearing it for a while. I find it a bit heavy at times but I think it was down to the wrong brush. I felt like it oxidised and made me look orange, saying that my skin changes and I switch my make-up regularly to keep up. It also helps to have the right moisturiser etc. at the moment my skin care regime has got a LOT better from my none existing one before. I tried my studio fix fluid the other day just to see how it would turn out and I fell in love all over the colour was perfect and I had ex foliated and moisturised before hand. The foundation lasted all day through the heat, sweat and rubbing on clothes etc. I realised why I used to love this foundation so much. The only problem is the packaging the glass bottle makes it kind of hard to get all the foundation off I have to leave the bottle upside down and I hate wasting product.
Overall thoughts: Great foundation for all kinds of coverage will re purchase.
Benefit Hello Flawless hands down WINNER!
MAC Studio Fix Fluid on the left and Benefit Hello Flawless on the right. The MAC foundation has more orange tones which can make you look a bit too orange at times whereas the Benefit make up works perfect with my skin tone.
Excuse the scratches I've got a kitten :)
