Road Test

When it comes to foundation, what works for one person might not work for another; it’s all very personal, and dependant on a number of issues including the type of skin you have, and what coverage you are seeking. Benefit Cosmetics' latest offering in the foundation market is Hello Happy Flawless Brightening Foundation, a medium-coverage formula which has been designed to provide a flawless finish as well as brighten the skin. This foundation promises much, including 12 hours of wear which is great for travellers, and buildable coverage which is more flexible if you only want to take one product on the road with you. It also contains some high-performance ingredients including photochromic pigments, which adapt to brighten the skin in any lighting, flower acids to help boost radiance, and hyaluronic acid, which attracts moisture to the skin’s surface and helps to keep it hydrated. Hello Happy Flawless Brightening Foundation is a medium coverage liquid foundation but feels lightweight on the skin and looks natural with a nice matte-satin finish. Once you have chosen your shade - in my case number 3 - simply apply, blend and build coverage as needed on to clean and well moisturised skin. I found the best way was to use my fingers; this got the product onto my skin quickly, and the warmth of my fingers helped it to blend out more seamlessly. There are many things to like about Hello Happy Flawless Brightening Foundation, but a top one is that it adds life and brightness to your complexion in spite of its matte finish, something which is great for anyone at anytime but especially for travellers on the go counteracting jet lag and a lack of sleep.
