This post is a review of a fairly new product from Benefit Cosmetics - Big Easy.
With summer fast approaching and those hot sunny days already appearing, I decided it was time to switch up my usual make up to something different. I am not the biggest fan of foundation as I dislike the feel of it on my face, and often find that it either doesn't look the right shade, or appears too 'cakey'. However, I am not confident enough to go completely bare faced so I needed to find something else to replace my usual foundation with. This is when I found Benefit's 'Big Easy'.
Titled as a 'Multi-balancing completion perfector' , Big Easy is bigger than BB cream, but not as heavy as foundation. The product claims to give 'light to medium coverage to even out skintone and conceal imperfections'. I would say that it gives me more light than medium coverage on my skin, and does not hide blemishes completely - however it does make them less obvious and give my skin a better appearance overall. It definitely gives a very natural looking finish.
Benefits Big Easy comes in a squeezable tube, which allows you to easily apply it to your face without using too much. I like to use a foundation brush to smooth it evenly over my face. One of the things that I like about this product is that it first appears as a liquid , which melts into your skin like a cream, but then becomes lightweight and velvety with a powder-like finish.
There are 6 different shades available ranging from fair to deep beige. I personally found that 02-light was the best shade for me as it self adjusts to my exact skin tone.
The only slight downside to this product is that unlike a BB cream, you have to apply this to already moisturised skin.
The tube comes in 35.0 ml , which is fairly large, for £27.50 . Although this is rather pricey I believe that it is worth investing in if you want a change from foundation. You can purchase this product from stores that sell Benefit Cosmetics , or via their website here: http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/big-easy
