Yes, yes, yes!!
I tend to get oily around my forehead mostly and occasionally my chin; I wanted to try this foundation because the claims intrigued me. It says right on the packaging that it is a Liquid to Powder formula which seemed pretty cool- I guess eliminating the need to apply powder after your liquid application. As with all Benefit cosmetics, the tube packaging is absolutely adorable with a silver top ...read morethat you can let the product stand upright and striped nude/peach tube. I have been using the shade 05 beige and I feel the shade is a bit light for my medium tan skin but always contour so this works well for me as I turn so pale in the winter time; a BIG plus with this product-it has an SPF of 35 which I love even during the colder months as the sun is still doing its damage! Before applying, I like to squeeze the tube inwards and just make sure nothing has settled (even with glass bottles and such I always shake prior to applying) and squeeze half a dime size amount onto the back of my hand to use for my face (I have used a dime size amount and it was way too much for my face). I use my foundation brush and just dab it on the red parts of my face, mostly my cheeks, a tad on my chin, the bridge of my nose and above my eyebrows and let it sit for just a second to absorb; than I blend downwards. I absolutely love the way my skin feels and looks after I apply this foundation; it doesn't feel heavy, greasy, or like my skin can't breathe either, which is great! The back of the tube says it finishes lightweight and feels smooth like a powder and I have to say I agree with both of those claims. My skin doesn't feel heavy or "clogged up" like some foundations have done to my skin, but the coverage is spectacular and my redness is gone (my main skin concern). Because this does finish like a powder I do not have to finish with a powder which is perfect for when I have an appointment and am short on time or just don't feel like doing the extra step. I wear makeup for 8+ hours and love the fact that with this foundation I am not greasy in pictures or when I look in the mirror to touch up my lipstick. Another plus about this wonderful foundation is you get more product in the tube than most one ounce foundations come with, this tube has one point eighteen ounces for $38! Considering that I use so little everyday I can see this foundation lasting me at least six months so it's a terrific value. I will be repurchasing this product!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great for first hour
I wanted to love this so much but it wasn't for me and my combo skin. The color(light 2) was a perfect match and my skin looked amazing for the first hour. I looked at myself on my lunch break and the coverage was very uneven. My dry areas were dry and flakey and the oily areas were oily with bits of the bb cream left over. I accidentally got some on my lips and it was very difficult to remove. Not going back for this one.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love it
Actually, I found Big Easy to have a really nice matte finish which I find difficult to find in a lot of foundations. This is not sticky or greasy. Does it completely cover my spots? No, but definitely enough that they're not noticeable. I buy this every chance I get. Love his stuff. Keep making it!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
