Finding a foundation that can even out skin without accentuating pores or fine lines can quickly become complicated. Too matte, it can set the complexion. Too covering, it can lack naturalness.
This brand seems to have wanted to resolve this dilemma with a formula that combines makeup, a blurring effect and skincare active ingredients.
A foundation designed to blur pores
Sold at 49.90 euros for 30 ml, The POREfessional Foundation promises to instantly blur the appearance of pores and visually smooth the skin’s texture.
Its coverage is medium and buildable: you can therefore apply a thin layer to even out your complexion or add more product to areas that require more correction.
Benefit announces a natural matte finish, without excessive shine and without a frozen effect. The formula is also designed not to mark wrinkles and to allow the skin to breathe.
In terms of durability, the brand claims effectiveness of up to 24 hours, according to an instrumental test carried out on 25 participants. The product is also touted as water, smudge and transfer resistant.
Niacinamide and glycerin: makeup meets skincare
The formula does not only focus on complexion rendering. It contains in particular niacinamide, rosehip extract and glycerin.
Glycerin is known to help maintain skin hydration, while niacinamide is particularly popular in treatments intended to improve the overall appearance of the complexion.
Benefit also says the foundation is non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic, and dermatologically tested. It would be suitable for normal, combination, oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin.
A hydration test carried out on 34 participants also supports the care dimension highlighted by the brand.
How to choose the right shade and apply it?
To select the right shade, start by identifying your undertone. A cool undertone leans more towards pink or bluish, a warm undertone towards gold or yellow, while a neutral undertone lies in between.
Before applying, remember to shake the bottle well. You can then work the material with a brush or a damp sponge, ideal for obtaining a more blended finish.
Start with a little product then gradually increase the coverage in the areas where you want more of a blurred effect.
If your skin is normal to dry, a good moisturizing preparation is still recommended before makeup. With this new foundation, Benefit seeks to extend The POREfessional universe beyond the foundation, with a formula that combines correction, comfort and a smoothed skin effect.
