Pros: Not opaque like other blushes. Creates a natural blush that works with your skin tone.
Cons: Pretty expensive (but worth it).
The Bottom Line: After using this all-over color, no other blush will ever live up to this one. Works with your natural skin tone to give you a true "blush."
BeneFit Dandelion is one of those products I've always seen on Allure's list of fave picks time and time again, but have never tried. In the past I've always been scarred by my previous blush experiences and therefore hesitant about trying this one. But one day when I decided to visit the BeneFit counter an actually try this product, I didn't have to be afraid.
About BeneFit Dandelion
This all-over color comes in a 10g sage green box with a pink dandelion on the front. Inside the box is a plastic tray holding a wide, pinkish-white, natural-haired brush. Underneath the plastic tray is the cake of blush.
BeneFit Dandelion comes only in one shade and it's a pale, rosy pink. The color is accompanied by a light, delicate, rosy scent.
The Trick to Looking Fresh and Rosy at 8 a.m.
For the longest time, I always felt like there wasn't any kind of blush or cheek color that would ever go with my Asian skin tone. But after receiving a recommendation from a friend of mine who absolutely loved how this would work on any skin color, I thought it couldn't hurt to try.
The main thing I absolutely love about this all-over color is the fact that it's very light and therefore, you don't have to worry about over-doing it the first application. A second and third application will usually bring you more of a punch of color. They say you can use this powder all over your face, but because it does give you a pink hue, I'd rather it stay on my cheeks.
The color is as natural a pink as you can get. It's matte so you don't have to worry about a shiny finish, but if you look closely, you'll find that there's tiny bits of sparkle in it, but nothing too gaudy. Because my skin has more of a yellowish undertone, it left more of a sun-kissed hue to my cheeks which was not a problem because that meant it enhanced my natural color rather than covered it. It's much different from other blushes in that it actually works with your natural skin tone, giving you the perfect blush.
The longevity of this blush is about the same as other blushes: pretty much lasts all day. At least for me it did.
The brush is perhaps the best brush that has ever come packaged with the actual product. My experiences with included blush brushes have always been awkward and unfortunate. Usually they're too small to even use appropriately. In fact, I think those brushes are better off as eyeshadow brushes than blush applicators in my opinion. This one is one you'll never want to use. Why? Because not only does it fit perfectly into this compact little box, it's wide and narrow and covers a lot or as little area as you want.
Overall Performance
I LOVE this product. I can't go a day's makeup application without making sure I've got my Dandelion on. It leaves a gentle, light rosy hue without looking too overpowering.
