Benefit 'Hello Flawless' Cover-Up Powder SPF15

Fantastic product. Beautiful even coverage, similar to mineral powder foundations but takes less than half the time to apply. I use the sponge supplied to apply mine and find with a very light touch it is possible to look as though you have no makeup on at all. I would definitely purchase this again.

I’m really impressed with this powder. The first application goes on sheer but the powder is very fine making it very easy to build up the coverage if needed without any cakiness. I used this over the top of tinted moisturiser and was very pleased with the appearance. As the name suggests it was nearly flawless!! It has a matte finish but I did need to reapply to my T-zone half way through the day to control my oiliness but the packaging is so divine that you really don’t mind whipping this out of your bag! I wasn’t all that impressed with the brush that comes with the product, I used my own face brush to do the initial application, however it was fine for touch ups. I did not use the sponge as personally I am not a big fan of these. I always find I apply to much product with these tools. The packaging as always with Benefit is superb. A big thumbs up from me.

I bought the 2nd lightest shade & am happy with the colour match , it is fairly neutral & i am quite fair. This has the most divine silkiness to it , it goes on well [& easily] ,though i use my own powder brush. it lasts fairly well during the day & it never cakes on me . I have used it successfully over both foundation & tinted moist.

This is a nice product, I enjoyed using it. Unfortunately the shade I was given to review was a bit too dark so I can't speak for the colour matching, but I could still use it so I got to have a play. The coverage is quite light, and I preferred using my thick powder brush to apply it rather than the brushes it came with. The tools that come in the compact are great though, and the packaging is divine. It's nice to use on days you can't be bothered with makeup, it just provides a nice light coverage and evens out the skin. Overall I found it nice as a cover up powder for touch ups, but I probably wouldn't purchase for the price.

I am very impressed with this! I originally thought that Honey would be a bit dark for my pale skin but it really is a good match, its almost invisible on me which is great! It really does make your skin look "finished" but not made-up, I have used the brush that comes with it and it is fine for touch ups but I tend to use a larger brush when applying it at home, I have not used the sponge as I prefer a light touch to application. The packaging is cure and practical with a nice mirror and a breathable lower part for the brush and sponge to live in. Overall, I love it and would certainly buy this again!!

As always, Benefit has used quirky and cute packaging to house this soft powder complete with a sponge and brush. The provided tools aren't excellent, but they do the job-though I prefer to apply it with a baby kabuki brush for longevity and an even application. The colour looked too yellow in the compact but it is very forgiving and blended well into my fair skin. I found the staying power to be excellent and the result to be as promised; flawless-no caking or chalkiness in sight. Fans of Ultraceuticals mineral powder would like this product, however the talc content is disappointing - it did create some congestion and given how much this compact costs, a cheap filler has no place near it, so I have removed one and a half stars from what would have been a top product.
