Benefit Powderflage

I hear rumours that this was being discontinued but It’s still on the Benefit website. I bought this a while ago at an outlet store for about £10 (it usually retails for £19.50 for 3.2g)and haven’t seen it in Boots recently so I’m unsure if it is still being made but it’s still very easy to find online. The Benefit website claims that this is

“light-diffusing powder concealer for under eyes & face”

Er... no? It is a pale, pinkish powder that goes on rather translucent. It provides pretty much zero coverage. The first ingredient listed is talc too so not exactly a premium product. It does however contain silica and here is where it starts to get interesting.

I am very long sighted and even with my glasses on frequently squint when I’m reading things. This + layers of concealer attempting to hide my under eye luggage = creasing. If I set my under eye concealer with a regular powder it gets cakey too which is not sexy. Someone suggested setting it with powderflage. They told me that the silica would stop it settling in the lines made when I’m squinting and do you know what? They were right. I now use this daily to set my concealer and I love it!


The little brush is worse than useless. It’s scratchy and horrible and went in the bin along with the rest of the excessively bulky packaging. I’s also found that the lid doesn’t screw on very well on mine. I’m not sure if they are all like this or if that’s the reason this one was at an outlet store but it’s loose enough that I could never travel with it.

At £10 I would happily/ will repurchase this. I wouldn’t pay full price though. Just because I’m cheap like that xx
