The new benefit huge simple Multi-Balancing skin tone Perfector, $38
This morning I woke up feeling like this…
What the wha?!
…из-за этого.

Yup, just phone call me TBK (Two Beer Karen), LOL!
We took that out-of-town buddy of El Hub’s who stayed with us last night to a regional brewery right here in Novato called Moylan’s, where I “sampled” a few of their Pomegranate Wheat, as well as since I barely ever drink, I did not feel remarkable this morning.
I meant to do a full deal with o’ warpaint today, however when I sat down in front of my makeup mirror, my arms felt like lead weights… My body was like, “Oh, hell naw, hookah. We’re doing minimalist makeup today.”

So, out came my tube of huge Easy, a new BB cream from Benefit.
Cute packaging
Чувак! This stuff is boss. I’m not usually a huge BB cream fan, either, mainly since I seldom feel like they provide sufficient protection for me.
It has a lightweight liquid-to-powder formula…
But huge simple evens out my skin tone as well as blurs my pores without leaving my skin looking excessively “done,” if you understand what I mean, as well as the natural-looking, velvety matte surface is my preferred thing about it.
More quick as well as dirrrrty deets…
The oil-free liquid-to-powder formula is non-comedogenic.
It’s offered in six shades. I wear the darkest one available, which is 06 Deep Beige.
The colors seem to be versatile with regard to working with your skin tone.
Contains broad-spectrum SPF 35.
It has an fascinating structure — type of slippery like many deal with primers (it does contain silicones), as well as it glides across my skin easily, buffing as well as blending with extremely bit resistance.

The matte surface looks extremely flat on my combination dry/oily skin — no radiate whatsoever — as well as I can even avoid setting it with a powder, which is nice. It stays matte, too, as the day uses on, as well as controls oil like a champ.
Ingredients…
I do discover that huge simple will settle into my pores as well as get a bit streaky on my drier areas (like my cheeks) if I don’t moisturize instantly beforehand, almost like the product skips a bit on those dry patches. benefit suggests applying it after moisturizer, as well as I can see why. It glides across my skin more smoothly when it’s thoroughly moisturized.
Three of the six benefit huge simple shades, from the left — 02 Light, 04 medium as well as 06 Deep beige — on my NC42 skin
02 Light, 04 medium as well as 06 Deep beige on NW25 skin
I utilize my fingers to apply a thin, sheer layer around my deal with instantly after moisturizing, then buff it down with a kabuki clean to blend things out. After that, I pat one more layer around my chin, cheeks as well as nose, which are the areas I usually requirement a bit more help.
I definitely do believe my skin looks more even when I’m done, as well as I swear my pores look smaller.
On the left, I’m not using any type of makeup (well, just Jouer Gloss in Blush). On the right, I’m using the exact same gloss however with benefit huge simple in shade 06 Deep Beige… That’s it!
With casual, undressed skin like this, I like to stay with very little makeup — under-eye concealer to hide my dark circles, a bit of MAC Brun Eye shadow to develop out my brows as well as a couple coats of mascara. Then, a blush with a hint of shimmer to keep things from looking as well flat (here I’m using MAC warm Soul) as well as a shiny nude lip gloss like Jouer Gloss in Blush.
Minimal makeup
I’m truly rather fond of huge Easy. It doesn’t feel heavy on my skin, does photograph well, as well as I can develop it up or sheer it out. An absolutely lovely deal with product for laid-back makeup days.
That said…I believe the shade choices for deeper skin tones are quite lame. I wear the darkest of the six shades, 06 Deep Beige, as well as it’s truly not that dark.

I sure hope benefit expands the variety to include some darker skin tones in the future.
