BENEFIT cosmetic - How To Look The Best At Everything

This is my first set of foundation cosmetic – BENEFIT HOW TO LOOK THE BEST AT EVERYTHING
It has three category specialise for three tone of skin which is
  • Fair
  • Medium
  • Deep


I owned the FAIR one. It give my skin a very good bright tone but I am not so sure with the other category of tone.
I bought it from Benefit store at Gurney Paragon with RM110. No sale no promo, was just drop by randomly and feel like trying a whole set of foundation cosmetic (As I am a very lazy person to apply so many thing, I used to just apply a very thin BB cream or most of the time apply nth lol)

Okay, let me introduce this FLAWLESS COMPLEXION MAKEUP KIT
This is a very good set especially for beginner like me or lazy me people (like me too. Hehe~)
Why?
There are some benefit and advantages from this set and a little disadvantage too
I will start with the packaging first.


It is a very nice and cute packaging. It looks like a BOOK in pink color.
There are a TIPS & TRICKS provided – the procedure and method to apply all the cosmetic in the kit

And a MIRROR! 
For me, this is absolutely very nice to have the tips&tricks guiding for the procedure
And of course the mirror. ** I will always keep the plastic stick back to the mirror after-used in order to keep it clean and I do not need extra time to clean it (you know, the mirror always mess up with those cosmetic powder and end up a very dirty and unclear mirror)

Okay then, the very first advantage of this makeup kit is --- it consists of FOUR cosmetic which we need to complete the face makeup. In this small “book”, we already owned

Primer – 7.5 mL the POREfessional – PRO balm to minimizes the appearance of pores

Foundation – 7.0 mL HELLO FLAWLESS OXYGEN WOW – “believe in me” IVORY – oil free, SPF 25 PA+++, non gras

Concealer – 1.3g lemon aid & 1.5g boi-ing 01 – duo color concealer

Loose powder – 4g “HELLO FLAWLESS” –  “I love me” IVORY

This is the reason why I say this is a very good kit especially for beginner
  • Before you get the whole size why not you try the smaller size first?
  • And, for me, I don’t apply makeup too often and sometime my cosmetic might still leave a lot after the EXPIRY date. It is only 12months for both the POREfessional and Foundation; 6 months for the concealer and 24 months for the powder
  • Then, with the tips&tricks, I may just follow it step by step, from 1 > 4
4 steps in mix & match the complexion perfectors for a flawless look...



THE POREFESSIONAL TIP - Apply to moisturized skin to quickly minimise the appearance of pores & fine lines. If pores come out of hiding during the day, pat on lightly OVER makeup & blend.
**The POREfessional is actually a fill-in pore function – that mean it MIGHT cause pore clog! So, a double cleansing is so much so much needed! Remember to clean until your cotton is clean
so, i'd only rate a 7 out of 10 points.


HELLO FLAWLESS OXYGEN WOW TIP – apply to the center of your face and blend up & out to avoid telltale makeup lines.
The foundation is a bit watery, so about 1.5 pump is enough to cover the whole face.
7/10 points, because it is not bad and average good as it has bit watery but i guess it can use for qquite a long time.


LEMON AID & BOI-ING TIP – pat and blend lemon aid on your eyelids to help hide redness & discoloration. Dad boi-ing over dark under-eye circles & any imperfections.
The concealer is not that easy to stay on skin, so I actually use finger to apply
to be frank, it is not a very good concealer if you have a serious acne or very dark eye ciclee
but for normal user is still okay, just fine
because personally i am not tht perfectionist-type of person who need to conver up or conceal all the spots. still can be used haha~
but the duo-color part is good.
i'd only give a rate of 6/10 because the texture is not really satisfy for me.


“HELLO FLAWLESS!” TIP – sweep over your foundation to seal in perfection! Or wear alone for a sheer. Natural look.
The powder does not play a very important role here, so sometime it can be skipped.
errr... this is actually a bonus for me. not really a very necessary one for me.

last but not least
customize your coverage. Smooth on hello flawless oxygen wow for a sheer, ultra-natural look; or pat on to build coverage.


PROS
  • 4-in-1, a kit with all needed cosmetics
  • Acceptable price, RM 110 [a whole size of any of each one cost around RM100]
  • Tips&tricks, step by step, especially for beginner
  • Non-greasy, suitable for  any skin type
  • Duo-color concealer, can blend into the original skin tone so the concealed part will not be so obvious.

CONS
  • the POREfessional primer need a very serious removing procedure
  • Really really small in size, not suitable for heavy user or daily user, and sometimes need to keep remind of yourselves to not to use too much or save it a bit haha.



Alright, this is the before (right) and after (left). 
i knowit doesn't give a very big difference but c'mon makeup is about little and little difference make the look right?
Overall
I will still recommend it to everyone because I actually really like it. And of cause I will definitely make sure myself do a very clean makeup removing every time.
Actually in normal occasion I will just skip the first step of using the pore minimize balm, only in occasion such as photo shooting I will wear it. Since I don’t really have much obvious pores so I think it is definitely fine right.

Overall, I will still rate it as 9 out of 10.
