Hello Flawless! Benefit's tag line for Hello Flawless is that it "glides on naturally sheer and layers beautifully for customized coverage with SPF protection". Now, since I am new to makeup, especially in the realm of foundations, I am a little cautious of using something that is medium to full coverage. I just don't think I quite know what I am doing well enough to dive into full coverage. Plus, do to department store make-overs, I associate full coverage with caked on foundation. A sheer yet buildable coverage foundation sounded like a great idea to me!
Hello Flawless, at first, underwhelmed me. I had seen such good reviews for this product, that it is possible I had built up my expectations too much. This product looks good sheer, and the coverage, when used with a sponge is fairly good. It is my no means a strong concealer, but it will do in a pinch. I have fairly dark circle under my eyes, and this does not completely erase them, instead it just makes me look a little more awake.
Hello Flawless comes with a little sponge, which is great for the buildable coverage, and a little brush, which is crap. I use the sponge for the areas I need more coverage in, and a kabuki for sheerer coverage. I do like to set this product with my MAC Fix +, as it is a powder. This is a good product to use if you have good skin, and want a light coverage foundation.
This product is certainly not a holy grail product for me. If you don't get dark under-eye circles, this product will be lovely for you. I have oily skin, and this did not break me out. Granted, I don't use foundation everyday, so it is hard for me to say how this would do if you used this everyday. Would I repurchase? I'm not entirely certain. I do like a sheer coverage look, it just improves my look without look drastic. But there are too many foundations I want to try for me to tie my loyalty to this product.

I tried this at work on one of my early mornings. Sorry for the un-interesting makeup, six in the morning is not my most creative time, makeup wise. :)
After 12 hours of wear, with no touch-ups. (Sorry for the lack of lipstick, I forgot to touch up that too.)
Considering I took the first pictures at 6 AM, and the second set at 6 PM, I think Hello Flawless held up pretty well, especially for "sheer" coverage.
