Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow – Applied

I also got a primer inside to try.

My Review:
Well I don’t know why this foundation’s name has oxygen in it as I don’t see it in it’s ingredients. Plus oxygen is the last thing you’d want in your foundation as it causes free radical damage. Keeping that aside, it is a fragrance-free liquid foundation with an in-part titanium dioxide sunscreen.

Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow comes in 9 shades (view all shades here), which isn’t a lot for the entire foundation range. An extra bonus is the SPF plus it boosts an oil-free formula.

I have the shade “I’m So Money” Honey. The liquid foundation is dispensed via a pump. I usually squeeze 1/2 pump and use my fingers to apply and blend it. It feels thin and watery and has a silky texture, blends really well into the skin. You can use a buffing brush for smoother application. Remember, application techniques matter. It is so lightweight and refreshing, it feels like not wearing any foundation at all! It doesn’t settle into my fine lines and doesn’t break me out.

HFOW does a great job of evening out skin tone. Gives a matte and natural look. The best part is, you can layer it and layer it without it ever looking cakey. It’s light to medium coverage. You can work more into the problem areas but it doesn’t cover all blemishes. Although, your natural skin will shine through and it gives you a beautiful glow. If you have blemish prone skin you will need a concealer to cover imperfections.

Keep in mind that everybody’s skin is different. I do find this tends to slip throughout the day during hot summer days but my skin still looked glowy not greasy. Lasts up to 6 hours, even on my combination skin but does require a setting powder to last the distance. But during winters, it works just perfect. It stayed on my face for 12 hours without any touch up.

However, it might not work for people with oily skin like my sister. So what she does is she dusts a little loose powder on after primer and before applying Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow which makes it last much longer, and she’ll only need to blot once, if at all.

Overall, it’s the perfect go-to liquid foundation for everyday use with SPF. It is barely detectable on the skin, buildable and doesn’t feel heavy at all. Blends smoothly and a little goes a long way!

Pros:

• Provides broad spectrum sun protection.
• Lightweight. Blends smoothly.
• Fragrance free.
• Gives light to medium coverage.
• Gives a natural looking matte finish.
• Buildable.

Cons:

• Small range of shades.
• Doesn’t cover blemishes.
• Might not work for people with oily skin.
• Pricey

My Rating:
3.5/5
