Customer Reviews of Benefit Cosmetics 'Hello Flawless!' SPF 15 All The World's My Stage Beige 0.25 oz
Customer Review: I can see how some would love it... but it's not for everone
Summary: 3 Stars
I ok. It's a nice versatile powder because of the sponge factor. But since I bought it based on the reviews, I feel I should add my own to the mix.
I have beige-toned, combo skin. I am still looking for a better powder for me... 2 days after buying it. I'm experiencing a wee bit of buyers remorse on this. Just a wee bit. Not worth returning, though. I don't believe in returning this kind of thing since it's close-enough... but I won't be reordering. Let me tell you why.
The beige color if applied with the sponge for full-coverage didn't make me look like all the world was my stage. It made me look like I was really beige - like the walls. Putting on full coverage with the sponge commits you to a full face of make-up because you gotta add all that color back into your tone that this powder covers up. When I first put it on with the sponge I was a little shocked. I looked like a stage actor from the '40's. Ok... so then I put a full face of color on top and it looked good, it stayed well, and to some people it might have looked normal, but to me it looked 'made up'.
The one good thing is that it didn't feel made up. It was light in texture and I forgot I was wearing it. I think that's why I got shocked when I saw myself. Anyway, there was a time when I might have liked this powder a lot. I used to have/choose to wear full coverage and it always felt so gross and heavy. If I had/chose to cover marks on my face I am sure I would be happy with this. But my face is clear now except for some red marks around my nose - which this didn't seem to cover that great because of the location - and some dark circles around my eyes - ditto. But the main thing is if you don't need full coverage - why go there? It's so much more work. Maybe as a spot treatment it might be good. But the stage beige is not working with my beige skin in that usage.
So why am I keeping it? Well... as a setting powder with my big fluffy brush it works fine. It's a little pricey for that, especially because this thing seems to highlight the existence of my pores. I'm not loving that at all. Hence, the search continues.
My recommendation is if you choose to wear a full-coverage powder that will cover red/purple acne marks with a sponge that you can also sometimes use with a fluffy brush, this will probably be fine. I emphasize probably, because that's not my need right now. Just make sure you're happy with the color. This is not the 'beige' I'm used to. If you want to use this strictly for dusting and were also hoping to sponge it in to conceal around the nose and eyes, like I was... you might be disappointed like me.
Like I say, I can see how some people would love it, but it's not for everyone.
