Benefit Dandelion Brightening Face Powder

I have been loving this recently!

 

I would describe it as a sheer ballerina pink finishing powder with a subtle shimmer, and it takes your complexion from dull to radiant in an instant! Perfect for a little perk throughout the day or to brighten if your have dull skin. There is also a little included which I prefer not to use.

 

 

Benefit says: Dust on our soft, pink, perk-me-up powder for instant radiance and a youthful appearance. Its the perfect shade of pink that brightens everyone's complexion.

 

I completely agree!

 

Dandelion simply gives me a "wake up face" in the morning, which will be turn a little bit oily in 2-3 hours. Since I have extremely oily skin.

 

I never put too much attention to Dandelion's scent, it's very soft like baby powder, but not disturbing. You can't smell it once it applied on your face.

 

I recommend this to everyone as it can work well on everyones skin tone/type.

You can use it in many ways. You can stroke it across your face as a finishing powder, you can use it for touch ups, you can use it alone for a pretty flushed look, and you can use it over your blush to tone it down.

 

Have you tried this?

 

Thank you for reading,

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

I thought it was about time I post a review on this, since I use this everyday and it's a really good budget buy from Rimmel.

The powder is packaged in a flat pot with a clear lid. It is fairly travel friendly however sometimes the lid can come off unexpectedly but this is mainly on my dressing table anyway, so it's not a problem for me!

 

I usually apply this with my MAC 150, because I find it works really well just lightly dusted all over my face I don't want shine because I'm not a fan of the dewy look on me. I have the shade Sandstorm.

 

It blends out really well over my foundation/BB cream, and I use it more liberally on my nose, chin and forehead. I then blend it out to seal in my base make up. It claims to minimise pores, which I actually think it does. My skin definitely looks a little more airbrushed after I've used it.

 

 

It does a great job of covering up shine and keeping my make up in place all day. In terms of lasting power, it does last for 5 hours, and then the shine slowly starts to come back.

I would really recommend this powder if you have oily skin or just want to tone down the shine of your foundation.

 

Available in Boots and Superdrug for £3.99
