Benefit dandelion

Average member rating of 8.0

Rated a 7.5
Dandelion promises to "perk-up" your complexion. While it's no substitute for eight hours sleep, it does brighten skin. The sheer light pink powder works well as a subtle blush or an all-over highlighter. When layered over bronzer it adds a soft pink flush to the apples of your cheeks -- which creates a more natural look. It also brightens eyes when used as shadow. One complaint: The included brush makes application streaky. A true blush brush works better.

    Best blush!

    by mairkk81 (2 reviews)
    For years I saw Dandelion's many awards and even though I am a huge Benefit fan I just put off buying it thinking the color was too light for even my fair/light skin but I was soooo wrong!

May 27, 2008, 7:37 am For years I saw Dandelion's many awards and even though I am a huge Benefit fan I just put off buying it thinking the color was too light for even my fair/light skin but I was soooo wrong! I totally love this, I don't think I will ever wear another blush again! I haven't tried it with a tan yet (I think it won't show through too well but I will have to see this summer) but I use Hoola also from Benefit during the summer months mostly. Dandelion gives my cheeks the perfect pinky glow for day or night! May 27, 2008, 7:37 am

While the box may be a bit big for traveling with, I don't care because it's so darn cute. The brush is a bit stiff and not shaped properly for even application, so I usually use my own blush brush. All in all, one of my favorite Benefit products! April 20, 2008, 5:56 pm

    Pretty Pink Powder

    by makeupjunkie13 (27 reviews)
    This powder is a subtle pinky-gold highlighter that highlights the skin in all the right places. Nothing beats a good night's sleep but brushing on a bit of this over top of my makeup helps! To make it show up as a blush on my med-dark skin I have to swirl it a few times to get some colour to show up but it's a great choice... February 19, 2008, 7:04 pm This powder is a subtle pinky-gold highlighter that highlights the skin in all the right places. Nothing beats a good night's sleep but brushing on a bit of this over top of my makeup helps! To make it show up as a blush on my med-dark skin I have to swirl it a few times to get some colour to show up but it's a great choice for fair skinned women who want a pink flush. The packaging again like their other powders is cute but not very convenient to take around with you. The brush is ok if you're sweeping it all over the face but if you want to apply it as a blush use a real blush brush to avoid streakiness. February 19, 2008, 7:04 pm

    perfect for me!

    by tracyt (3 reviews)
    Contrary to advertising, Benefits' boxed powder colors are not for everyone. I tried Perfect 10 and Dallas and they looked awful on my Asian skin. But Dandelion erases the 9 hour fluorescent light palor and makes me look so fresh and full of life. It smells faintly of roses (unless dandelions have a smell) and it doesn't ha... December 11, 2007, 10:00 am Contrary to advertising, Benefits' boxed powder colors are not for everyone. I tried Perfect 10 and Dallas and they looked awful on my Asian skin. But Dandelion erases the 9 hour fluorescent light palor and makes me look so fresh and full of life. It smells faintly of roses (unless dandelions have a smell) and it doesn't have the shimmer factor that I'm usually drawn to, but this stuff works for me. Totally helps me fake awake. So if you too are locked up in a windowless cube farm or office, keep a box of dandelion (or whichever color works for you) at your desk. A couple swipes and you'll be ready to go out at night. Or at least your face will look ready! December 11, 2007, 10:00 am

    nice glow

    by gweneet (6 reviews)
    i really love this product. i have a lot of makeup, but i don't use a lot of it. instead, i have a few product i wear often. this powder is one of them! it gives the perfect hint of pink, nothing over the top. i wear it almost everyday... the one drawback? $28???!!!! Otherwise, I'd rate it a 10/10. May 29, 2008, 5:37 pm

    Light and pretty

    by TemMom (39 reviews)
    I got this in a boxed set with some other Benefit products, and didn't know if I'd like it. But it is a nice, sheer blush that would probably work for lots of skintones (mine is fair, but not super-light.) I've used it all over my face, on top of a tinted moisturizer, for a soft glow that doesn't look "made up." May 24, 2008, 5:35 pm

    love it

    by platinum (55 reviews)
    I love this blusher, from the brush to the eco friendly packaging to the delightful hint of color. I can't say enough about benefit's dandelion blush. The color is long lasting and delicate, perfect for almost any complexion. April 26, 2008, 8:57 pm

    BEAUTIFUL AND EASY

    by LVRUMPOINT (19 reviews)
    I bought Dandelion blush by Benefit. I love it. It was easy to carry around if I needed it and it made my cheeks look beautiful. It was perfect for my skin color (fair). I especially love it during the summer when I get a little darker or rather redder. May 20, 2008, 8:42 am

    Not suited for olive, medium complexions

    by foxrox (5 reviews)
    I love to use pink blushes to add a youthful glow to my olive complexion but this did not even come close to working for me. It just added a gleam to my already shiny skin. It does not seem like it will work well over a foundation. I think it is best suited for a fair complexion that wears minimal foundation. May 15, 2008, 11:19 pm
