A couple of weeks ago (yeah, this post is long overdue) I somehow got invited along to Benefit's launch of Fake Up and was gifted with all 3 shades to take for a test run!
And, it is with my great pleasure to tell you... I love it! I've been wearing it daily ever since I got it and it's become my new go-to concealer (sorry Collection!). I have an awful sleeping pattern and this brightens my skin and under my eyes and makes me look like I got a good 8 hours, and then it lasts all day without creasing or going cakey! What else could I ask for? (Well, slightly heavier coverage but that's just me being super picky!)
Here comes the Science-y bit: Fake Up consists of a concealing core which Benefit claims 'hides dark circles, smooths skin & diffuses light' (yep, it does!) and a hydrating ring made of vitamin E and apple seed extract for immediate moisturisation (it does feel super silky).
I use 01 (of course, I'm the Queen of being pasty) and I've given 02 to of my besties because I can't work with it, and I apply it then blend with my finger and not brush as it works better for me that way.
* There's also a little hint going around to use 03 for contouring, but contouring is not my thing at all (okay, I have tried it but I ended up with an orange area on my cheek and it did nothing for me) but if you head over here you can see Kelly's (contouring Queen) review & quick how to.
Go and buy Fake Up, it will become a staple product in your daily makeup. It hits the stores on March 30th and is £18.50 but is available now on Benefit's website!
