Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow in I'm Pure for Sure
Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow is Benefit's first liquid foundation, and guess what...its a beauty!! If you read this blog regularly you'll know that last week I attended the Manchester leg of the the Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Roadshow where I met Lisa Potter-Dixon, Benefit's head makeup and trend artist. Lisa color matched me to the 'I'm Pure for Sure' Ivory shade of this foundation. I also had my makeup done by Lisa and she gave me a weeks worth of foundation to use until my bottle came through the post. In just a week this foundation has become a staple of my makeup routine.Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow is a light to medium coverage brightening foundation. In a market awash with foundation Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow stands out from the crowd, mainly due to the fact that it has SPF 25 PA +++ ,which provides protection against sun burn and sun damage. I think I'm right in saying that this is the highest protection offered by any foundation on the market at the moment.
I consider myself to have terrible skin, and when I said this to Lisa Potter-Dixon she very tactfully said that I don't, I just have 'problem areas.' I consider my whole face to be a 'problem area' and I definitely cannot go without foundation.I particularly need good coverage on my chin, as this is where I am the most prone to spots. I applied this foundation with my trusty ELF foundation brush and it is super easy to apply, blend and build. I've found it to be long wearing giving a good 6 to 8 hours coverage, even in the recent heatwave we've been having.
The small sample pot of foundation I was given and have been using for over a week and there's still some left!
Priced at £24.50, Hello Oxygen Flawless Wow it isn't the cheapest foundation on the market but it lasts for ages. I was given a pot with a sample of this product in last Sunday. It has the diameter of inch and a depth of about a centimeter. I have used it twice a day for a week (I have two jobs so always touch up my makeup before I go to work in the evenings) and there is still some left, so a little definitely goes a long way!

As you can see I have an uneven skintone and have an ongoing battle with my chin! I applied the Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow over a moisturiser and the sample of Porefessional that comes with the foundation. As you can see it covers well and I feel that it does have a brightening effect on the skin. I've had a few compliments whilst wearing this foundation and lets face it, everyone likes a compliment! I really do like this foundation, its easy to wear and apply and the end result is really flattering. Hello Oxygen Flawless Wow gets a big thumbs up from me!
