So, Benefit are launching a liquid foundation in March 2012 under the name of, yep, Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow. Offering a natural finish, oil free formulation complete with SPF, I cannot wait to head over to a Benefit counter near me to try this foundation out. Having said that, as I have combination skin I'd be interested to see how this works with me.
Whilst I have yet to hear anything about this in the UK, presumably because it has not even been released here yet, I have heard a few good things so far about this from some friends across the pond in America. I am told it provides a lovely, smooth 'almost skin like but better' finish and comes in a good variety of shades. One particular friend told me the reason she liked it more than her former foundation (which was Make Up For Ever HD Foundation) was because it made her look like she had good skin with perhaps a tinted moisturiser on as opposed to a full face of foundation. Good things indeed!
Whilst I'm quite content with my current Mac Studio Fix powder foundation in that the coverage is amazing, I do have to say that it does look a little heavy at times and as I'm relatively young (I'm in my early 20s) this is not a look I want. This is why I would like to try a foundation that offers a medium coverage at least with an SPF if possible but does not look oh so obvious. I'm pretty fussy when it comes to foundation but do believe that you should be as the base of your makeup is where everyone will notice you- not the accents (i.e. eyeshadow, lip colour etc).
I can't wait to see what the shade selection will be like over here, but if it's anything like the image above (taken from the Benefit US website) then there will be a good selection of shades. I just really really hope though that this foundation does not oxidise as this is something that I have been plagued with, with virtually every foundation I have tried.
So, do you have any current liquid foundation loves? Have you tried Benefit's H.F.O.W?
Ta ta!
