I love the feel and look of these. The texture is like a very creamy concealer, as in, really creamy, however, just thick enough to make them a stick.

Interestingly, they go on thicker than a liquid/cream foundation, but not as thick as a traditional concealer.

A very confused product?

Not at all, Benefit says that they’re foundation, concealer and powder in one, and they really are that.

Either stripe it on your face and blend out with a brush, or for precision application, swipe a brush across the top and buff on from there.

You get such a flawless finish with these, almost airbrushed.

the only downside is that they don’t last quite as well as other foundations, you get around 7 hours of ‘normal’ life out of them, so not good for bridal work, but more than perfect for Photographic and Editorial work, or regular daily life when you have a little time to reapply.
