is that benefit pink powder stuff good

[TheDog]

please

.

If it is the dandelion one you mean, then yes it is lovely. Makes your skin all glowy (ina good way)

I love my dandelion powder. Would def recommend.

I think the dandelion powder is great and suitable for all skin tones.

I like it lots, and can also recommend a little kit called "The Realness of Concealness" which has some fab products in for concealing undereye shadows, plumping lips, evening out skin tone etc. £22.50

Can someone talk me through Benefit stuff? What do you use where? Can never tell from teh names of teh products.

Benefit is very good. I would also recommend Realness of Concealness, and Dandelion powder always gets good write-ups as it does seem to suit every skin tone.

Go to a Benefit concession in a big store and ask the staff; they are always really helpful and very down-to-earth friendly.

Thank you. Sacred of Make-Up Ladies though.

Scared - oops

Dandelion powder is very good.

I have some yellow stuff in a pot that I put on before foundation, Dr Feelgood, thats very good as well.

Dandelion good only if you are pinky already.
I am yellower and look like a rag doll in it - much better in Georgia or Hoola or the Cowgirl one.

Go to the Benefit counter in a Debehmans when they ahve late nigth opeining as the makeup girls go home at 5 and you can play with the testers without them

I got accosted by benefit lady in boots a while ago.She wanted to demonstrate a new product on me.Great I think,then when she descibed it as polyfilla for the face I felt like punching her.Twas quiet good actually,but can't remeber the name of it.
I did buy a blusher/lipstick thing which is lovely.

LOL ggirl!

i've got the georgia one it it is really n ice but i put on too much by mistake the other day and was patchily orange all day. i am not sure how you choose between the three.

I'm already lost on this thread [sigh]

Benefit girls aren't like other make up ladies. The one I went to didn't even wear any make up (???!) - apparently they have very different training to the more 'standard' houses, according to my caked-in-slap friend who works for another one.
I first got some when my lo was three months old. Was one of the first times I'd been out, I felt and looked like shit and she transformed me. Convert ever since. Be brave and try it...and see if you can get me some discount

Someone's just said benefit boing on another thread. How can I go in and ask for these things??? I may cruise round when they've gone one day.

,

What is it and what does it do? What are Georgia or Hoola and Cowgirl too?

Yes I need talking through the Benefit products too. They all look so pretty and sound so lovely but I have no clue what some of it does.

you should get a try out at a Benefit counter, they do excellent demos, not really worth getting the products without the demo imo

Go and get a demo - ime they are v nice and not scary like other make up ladies.

I went to get advice for wedding make up a couple of years back and came out with georgia powder (glowy, peach, nice warm tone), Moonbeam (highlighter like hi beam but more subtle) and bad gal mascara. Oh and an eye pencil in a great navy/purple shade.

Love them all. Still using the moonbeam - lasts for ages.

I had a freebie makeover at Benefit once and she made me look lovely (or as lovely as possible anyway with this face!). She used Benetint on my cheeks, with a bit of Dandelion on (if I remember rightly) my temples, some undereye stuff that felt all cold and lovely, and something brown on my eyes. Very little makeup but it really "lifted" my face and made me look as if I'd just had an hour of relaxing in the sunshine.

The products themselves scare me a bit though and seem very expensive, so I've never bought anything. Am watching this thread with interest though.

i've got the realness one, the boing is a bit too dark for my skin tone but the other products are fun. though don't really know what to do with the high beam
