benefit Cosmetics

Assalamu'alaikum. HAPPY LABOUR DAY~

A great day to start for everyone, I hope! Well today I'm going to do some reviews on cosmetic products by benefit SAN FRANCISCO as well as my daily make-up style. Have you ladies ever heard or used benefit products before? Well I've heard of the brand name earlier but never bought their products so far until they were introduced by my eldest sis recently. Honestly it was a love at first sight... hehehe. Most of their products are of high quality, practical and come in really pretty packaging. I was very attracted to their signature, POREfessional as well as their latest brightening face primer, "that gal". FYI, I always love a simple and natural look. I seldom wear eye make-up and don't prefer the heavy make-up styles since they will only make things complicated (as well as time-consuming!) for me to perform my prayers and I would also need to put on a new one after each ablution! Huhuh. Alhamdulillah, even though my skin is not so perfect but still, a simple make-up is sufficient to cover the imperfections :)

My previous make-up routine (for work or outing) involved 3 simple steps; the all-in-one BB Cream, a face powder and a lip gloss. A blusher is just an option. However, looks like the make-up steps have now increased with the addition of POREfessional and the face primer! *Tehee* But still, those steps are considered as quick and easy! And there are also times when I only wear the face primer and my BB Cream alone. Anyway, I'm not a professional make-up artist or a celebrity who suffers from appearance-conscious.. AHAHHA. I just want to share on the products that I wear currently, that's all... *Please note that I'm using iPhone this time and all pictures were NOT edited. My apology if the results are not as good as DSLR's*

L-R: My 1-2-3 quick steps for make-up base

Step #1: Apply POREfessional first before you apply the rest. It actually comes in a bigger size and sold individually @ MYR115. As a first time user, I decided to buy benefit's travel kit that comes in a complete set (with easy steps to follow!) as a trial for my sensitive skin.

 

POREfessional helps to minimize the appearance of pores. Looks like
foundation but its color is actually TRANSPARENT and it's OIL-FREE

Lovely "Honey" travel kit (or trial set) by benefit @ MYR120

Step #2: Apply the brightening face primer, "that gal". I like it so much! It has a very nice-sweet smell and of course it's OIL-FREE too. It is sold separately (in 11ml). The face primer helps to brighten your complexion and to smooth your make-up application. You can even wear it alone. Anyway, the SILKY PINK color is its special feature. Go, gal!!!

The pink pretty primer

Step #3: Apply the foundation! Since I bought their trial set, hence, the foundation quantity is very limited for daily wear. Therefore, I usually replace it with less 'spensive and affordable brand like SILKYGIRL :))

Aite, just to complete the final look.....

Step #4: Apply face powder (I use MAYBELLINE CLEAR SMOOTH 03 NATURAL)

 

Step #5: Lip gloss or lipstick

Lancôme ROUGE IN LOVE (337M)

Step #6 (OPTIONAL): Blusher
Sometimes I'd wear blusher before I put on the face powder in order to obtain my favorite
'pinkish from the inside' complexion ^^

L'Oréal TRUE MATCH le blush (04 Rosewood)

So THAT'S IT!!!

Finally found the right cosmetic products that blend
really well with my skin. benefit's. YAY ;)

Last but not least, don't forget to use a gentle make-up remover and wash your face thoroughly
