Benefit Cosmetics: Product Review Pt2


Hey dolls! So I have more product reviews for you from Benefit Cosmetics. These are products that I've actually used on other people while freelancing with Benefit Cosmetics. Enjoy!

BLUSHES/BRONZERS

1. Hoola: I love this bronzer. Its matte and gives the skin at nice natural tan. I love using this on clients with really light skin to a light tan skin tone. I normally use it by framing the face with this product, lightly blending it out. I would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for a bronzer without all the shimmer.

2. Sugar Bomb: I've used this product a lot on clients. It has four separate colors that I usually swirl my brush in and apply, and then pick one of the four colors and pop that color on the apples of the cheeks. Its a very natural, pinky tone.

3. CORALista: This product is very popular. A lot of my clients prefer a peachy, coral color on their cheeks, and this product has it all. If you like peachy blush tones, I would recommend this one!

OIL CONTROL/HIGHLIGHTERS/CONCEALERS


5. Dr. Feel Good: This product is an oil control balm. Love it! If you tend to get oily throughout the day, this product does wonders. It comes with a circular sponge and you just swipe it across the product and apply to the areas of your face where the oily spots are...and BOOM! No more oil! Great investment.

6. What's Up: This is Benefit's new highlighter. I love it. Instead of having a pinky/gold tone like Girl Meets Pearl, What's Up has a nice champagne gold color, and I love it. I use the stick and swipe it across the cheeks bones, above the brows and under the eye area and blend it out with a brush. It looks very natural and just completes your look. Great on all skin tones.

7. Erase Paste: Love this concealer. Thus far, this is my favorite concealer from any brand. It is a concentrated brightening concealer that comes in three colors (light, medium and deep). I blend it under the eye area with a concealer brush and it instantly conceals dark circles and brightens the eye area. I love it!

8. Ooh La Lift: I love this product, especially on older women because it tightens and brightens the under eye area. It gives instant results and my clients can definitely see the difference. This works on all skin tones as well.



9. Some Kind-Of Gorgeous Foundation: I love this product. It's a cream to powder foundation that only comes in three shades (light, medium, and deep). Although there are way more than three skin tones, this product evenly blends into your face matching your natural skin color. I'd rather use this product than the Hello Flawless Powder Foundation. Would definitely recommend.

10. Get Even: This product helps reduce redness and the appearance of blemishes. It too, comes in three shades (light, medium, deep) and gives instant results. It's a powder formula and can be used over your foundation.

11. They're Real Mascara: This mascara is BOMB!!! Compared to the Bad Gal Mascara I love They're Real much more. Although this product isn't waterproof like Bad Gal, it volumizes, lifts, curls and lengthens all in one. And let me tell you, it works! Clients who can't leave the house without mascara, love this product because it makes there lashes longer, thicker and completely opens up the eye area. Event the mascara wand is designed differently from the Bad Gal Mascara.

CREAM EYE SHADOWS
12. Creme Eye Shadows: Working with Benefit was the first time I used a cream eyeshadow on anyone. And I love it. I first apply a eye primer, and then take a concealer brush or a synthetic eye shadow brush and apply the color to the lid. I use a powder eyeshadow in the crease. The colors shown above are colors I've actually used on clients. You can't go wrong with these cream eye shadows. There are more colors available, check them out at www.benefitcosmetics.com.
