As a beginner, this was really easy to use. A little goes a long way and it's easy to build. I have oily skin and this worked well for me

This was a swing and a big miss.

I have been a Benefit user/buyer for YEARS, especially for their foundation (when they sell them). I was happy to see they had one again so I ordered! Welp, it's a total failure. It was so drying that at the end of the night, my face had visible dry spots. Very disappointed in this product from this normally great company. Also disappointed in no response from customer service. I rarely leave negative reviews because buying makeup online is kind of a gamble but this was that bad.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Great shade range - except for the fair skinned girls.

I love this foundation. I wanted to wear it for my wedding because The blurring, smoothing, and lightweight texture is awesome. However, I can't wear it because the LIGHTEST SHADE - 1C - is way too dark & yellow on me. Plus, it oxidizes. So I look like an oompaloompa. Please please PLEASE make more shades for the fair girlies.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Benefit Porefessional Matte Foundation - 19N Triumph

Submitted 1 year ago

By Lily

From Undisclosed

This foundation is ok but the shade range is very limited. I went in and got shade tested and discovered the color 19N Triumph was the best shade for me at this time as I am transitioning from a summer tan to lighter skin tone. The shade range is extremely limiting, as you go from yellow based to pink based and then a few neutral tones. You cannot go by the shade range online. Only a small amount is needed if you wear foundation daily. You need to get shade tested by someone who knows their stuff when it comes to foundation for older women. This is still very new to me but I am very particular with my choice of foundation. I had to go back a few times to try different shades, still not sure.

Great foundation, inaccurate shades

Submitted 1 year ago

By Mallory

From Cleveland, OH

Reviewed at

benefitcosmetics.com

I really love the feel of this foundation, it's lightweight and stays on all day without separating or smearing. It feels matte to the touch even after several hours of wearing. The thing that's disappointing (and why I gave it four stars) is the fact that the shades on the lighter end of the range are WAY darker in real life. I had initially ordered Confident, but it was way WAY too tan! Ultimate is the only shade that's passable on me, but it still gives me an orange hue in certain lighting and I'm not even as fair as the models in the pictures. I really hope they adjust the shades to be more accurate in the future because otherwise this is an incredible product and I'd love to keep using it confidently.

This foundation is it!!! Everything I want in a foundation - neutral shades good for olive tones, comfortable matte finish that seamlessly blends into skin, lasts all day, perfect coverage, pump bottle, AND fungal acne safe?! Incredible. Thank you Benefit, please never change it!!

Dark skin color match

I am so happy with this foundation. I went to an Ulta Beauty shop to find a foundation in my shade. I have dark brown skin but a neutral undertone which is almost impossible to match because every brand makes darker shades wayyyy too warm. This was the only foundation in the store that matched my shade and undertone!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

So I went and tried all of the lightest shades and they were still too dark and too warm for me! Hoping even lighter shades come out later on, because I want to wear this product so badly! Benefit has some of my favorite products like their primer, their bronzer, their brow products!
