New Favorite foundation!
-05.24.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free, easy application
I am in loveee with this foundation,it matches my skin tone PERFECTLY I am in the shade toasted beige for the summer months. I can never find the correct shade in drugstore foundations so I figured I would give a higher end one a try and it was well worth the $36 spent. The coverage is light to medium which is perfect for my skin since i don't really have breakouts besides the occasional pimple which this foundation covered very well, I also have very oily skin but this foundation does not let it peak through when i set it with a regular face powder. You can also layer on the foundation for extra coverage and it will not cake up at all. I have worn this to the gym and all through my workout it did not budge or make me oily. Overall this has been the best foundation I've used so far!

Nice but won't re-purchase
-05.23.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, smooth coverage, silky
This is my first "high quality" foundation so I'm not sure how it stacks up to the others. I feels really nice and silky going on, and I think it has a really nice smooth coverage. However, it really doesn't set well, which doesn't work with my oily skin, and their lightest shade is still not light enough for my very fair skin tone, so I won't be purchasing again.

Not wow'ed at all...
-05.23.13
This was really terrible on my skin! It would cake in my pores and just sit on the top of my skin. I tried every type of primer and nothing worked. Tried to use powder to try to even it out - even worse. I returned it.

Quick Take: oily, shiny, muddy, little to no coverage, hard to wash off
I believe I already wrote a review but I had only used the product once at the time. I don't like this product and I'm upset I spent so much money on it. I love benefit cosmetics but this was a disaster for me. I used the pore perfecting thing that it suggests because I have a sample size, so that's not the problem. I found all the shades to be a little dark when I tried them in store so I bought the lightest color. This product doesn't apply evenly at all and it leaves your face looking muddy and unevenly colored. It also makes your face look super oily and shiny. I always wash my face right before I apply makeup, so I'm not oily, its just the way the product looks. This makeup is also a struggle to wash off. It seems to be almost waterproof? Also it doesn't really offer any coverage. I find I get a lot more coverage with a powder concealer than this. I really tried to love this product, I even used other products with it to see if they would help, but nope. I gave it a two because to seems that the day after I wear it my skin is left smooth. But I wouldn't recommend spending the money on it.

Great Coverage
-05.20.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
Recommended by the lovely staff of Sephora, Hello Flawless is absolutely fabulous.
This foundation is light on your skin but still has great coverage. I even got the application brush with this purchase and I have to say that my skin as been showing less acne through our the past couple of weeks.
I'm in love with my new make up and its natural light look.

Overall, I'd say its a good foundation. It doesn't cover up problem areas quite as well as I'd like, and seems to get a bit oily. But its very light which I do like in a foundation. Benefit continues to impress me!

Not greatest thing around
-05.17.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, pasty
I got this foundation as a sample, and I would not say its bad, but its definitely not perfect. I think the shade was OK for my fair skin, but it leaves you with a look waaay too pasty. And then it shines through. My skin is rather oily, and there is no oil control whatsoever. I must say I do use it twice a month at most, so I can't say whether it causes break outs or not, although my skin is pretty sensitive. Anyways, for this kind of money you can find better options.

Check your colour first
-05.13.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I have skin that accepts "nude" in just about any brand. I purchased the "Cheers to Me" thinking it would be a nice, neutral shade. I should have tried this at a counter - it is YELLOW. It gives a TON of coverage, so I mixed this colour with a lighter colour and textured Remede, and found a good match.

Good for spring/summer months
-05.13.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I like this foundation because it is lightweight and gives nice light to medium coverage, good for everyday wear. It has a dewy finish and I like that it doesn't smell like a sunscreen even if it has an SPF. Cons: tends to be a little bit cakey so be careful not to put a lot on your face, a little goes a long way. Also it is not long wearing, it wears off on me after 6 hours. Other than that, good foundation.

Not a good fit for me.
-05.10.13
Quick Take: not a good fit
This foundation seemed light and looked decent for the first hour I had it on. I bought it after someone at my local Sephora tried it on me. I should have waited the rest of the day to see how I liked it before I committed to it!!! I bought both the foundation and the powder that go along with it.
Now, I've tried wearing this foundation for about a month, in a variety of ways: with the Benefit Porefection primer, with a different foundation primer I have, with no primer... one pump, 1/2 pump, 1.5 pumps... Nothing has gone well.
My skin is shiny after only an hour of wearing. I've had to use oil-absorbing sheets as many as 4 times a day to blot away the shine! My first clue that this makeup might not be for me was that the oil-absorbing sheets also removed the foundation! I do not rub the absorbing sheets, I blot; and still, my face ends up patchy afterward because my foundation goes with the oil.
Also, even with no primer used, the foundation sits on top of my skin and smears around; there is no absorption at all, so it looks constantly like I am wearing a mask. It's level of coverage is very low, unless I use quite a bit, and even then it doesn't cover my skin's imperfections well.
All in all, a very disappointing buy. I'm going to use the rest of it, because I paid good money for it, but I will not invest in these products again.

Great foudndation, colors need a little tweak
-05.05.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I really love the super-light weight and feel of this foundation. Even though it is very thin coming out of the bottle, it's still extremely pigmented and when using it with a foundation brush, leaves your skin beautiful with a medium to full coverage and totally natural look that lasts all day. That being said, I am a little bummed by the color variance. I started out with the shade "I'm so money Honey" for a couple of trial sizes. I loved the shade, very natural looking but needed something just a little lighter for the winter/spring so I went ahead and bought the full size in the next shade up "Cheers to me Champagne" I believe. it looked pretty good in my house and I thought I'd finally succeeded in finding the perfect foundation, but when I wore it for a while and went out in natural light, I looked strangely tallow-orange. I don't think I've ever had this problem with a foundation before so I gave the shade a couple more days to make sure...it only got worse. I sent the bottle back but will probably order the 'Honey' shade once my face darkens a little this summer. The foundation formula is good enough that if you can get the right shade, it's amazing!

-05.05.13
Quick Take: long wearing
I had bought this originally because I liked how it looked in the store after trying it on. When I got home I realized the color was way off for me, too yellow. I went to exchange it only to find out that this particular brand doesn't have a color that suits my skin tone well. I wound up buying the makeup forever brand instead. Other than that I liked the coverage this gave. Too bad they didn't have one that matched me

Quick Take: oil-free
I really love this stuff but apply too much and it tends to cake after a while.
Light to medium is exactly what this provides but don't try to go heavier than that because it looks very unnatural. I suggest applying concealer on top of it if you need that extra coverage.
Dewy finish but that can be fixed with a little setting powder on areas you don't want to shine.
It's 50/50 when it comes to long wearing because it to make it a flawless look reapplication or smoothing might be necessary.
Application is smooth and matches my skin perfectly for now but I have a feeling I'll have to get a summer shade as well since it's only May and the sun is really strong this year.

This is the only nice foundation I have found with sunblock and it's lightweight. It offers good coverage which can be build able too. I like how light-weight it is.

Best foundation!
-05.04.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
Wow. Know I know why they called it oxygen wow. This foundation is far best one of the best foundations I have ever tried. This foundation is light to medium coverage, but if you want to cover up any acne scaring, just double up the foundation on the areas. It does not make your face look cake. It gives you a really healthy and dewy look on your face, but its not too overpowering. I always have a hard time finding the perfect shade of color, but it is really easy to find your shade with this foundation. I really recommend you to try it out, you wont regret it.

I like benefit products mainly BLUSHES. I bought this in Champagne color and for some reason it didn't blend with my skin well. The product itself is very light weight and goes on smoothly but for some reason it didnt go too well with my complexion.
