Foundation Review: Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow

I have been wanting to try the Benefit Hello Flawless foundation for a long time so I had finally decided to order it a couple of months ago - I instantly fell in love. I have gotten so many compliments on my complexion every time I wear it. This foundation is up there with my EX1 Invisiwear Foundation (which I have also reviewed in a previous post) and I am always switching between the two.


I bought it off the Look Fantastic website, where it is priced at £26.50 and I bought it in the shade Toasted Beige which is a little darker than NC37, but suits me very well. 



There are 9 shades in total which include the following:

1.       Ivory (Believe in me)
2.       Ivory (I'm Pure 4 Sure)
3.       Champagne
4.       Honey
5.       Beige
6.       Toasted beige
7.       Amber
8.       Hazelnut
9.       Nutmeg

It is an oil free foundation and is described as having light to medium coverage which gives a "luminous and healthy" look to your skin, which I  definitely agree with. 

Application, Coverage and Finish

It is very easy to apply and blend in, the foundation is of medium consistency so it is not too runny. One pump of this gives an almost medium coverage and it is very buildable so does not look cakey on the skin. It feels light on the skin so looks and feels natural.

The foundation has a dewy finish so makes the skin look healthy and bright, as is described by Benefit. I have an oily T Zone and have tried it out both with and without powdering. I found that all I need to do is powder my T Zone so it does not go shiny throughout the day. I mostly leave the rest of the face powder free as I like the glowy look that it gives my skin.

I have worn it for up to 8 hours and it has lasted on my skin so the lasting power is very good and I fell like it looks better as the day goes on.

Packaging

I absolutely love the packaging on Benefit products and this foundation is no exception - it is so cute. They have included a pump on this which is perfect and it works so smoothly. The pump works so that when product is used, the remaining liquid in the bottle goes upwards so none of it gets wasted.   The packaging is plastic but is not cheap looking at all.

All in all I have no complaints for this product and would definitely repurchase it when my bottle is finished.

I hope this was useful and as always, hope you've enjoyed!
