Have you heard about the latest and greatest product from Benefit Cosmetics? I had my friend Alysia test the new product “Big Easy” out for me and here’s what she thinks!

I am not one of the blessed girls with perfect skin tone – maybe I was in my earlier adult years but lately, I have been dealing with adult acne. It’s mostly gone but the remnants (aka acne scars/dark spots) are left behind. I need to put concealer on everyday but am not a fan of wearing foundation to even out my skin tone. I have tried other BB creams – one of them (who shall remain nameless) really did a number on my cheeks – acne breakouts that could not be fixed. Since this incident, I vowed to stay away from BB creams…until Benefit introduced their version of a BB cream: Big Easy.
Big Easy is a multi-balancing complexion perfector. It has ingredients that helps balance moisture and controls oil yet it soothes and comforts skin. When I first applied the creamy formula with my fingers, I was impressed with how easily it went on my skin and also when I removed it with my cleanser of choice (coconut oil), I could not believe how smooth my skin felt. The formula applies like a creamy liquid but dries like a powder. It’s not heavy at all and doesn’t look caked on. I used 06 Deep Beige which might be too dark for my skin but I rather look slightly tanned than have a ghost face. Big Easy really evened out my skin tone and it slightly covered my dark spots.
L – R: 02 Light │04 Medium │ 06 Deep Beige
The additional bonus with Big Easy is that it contains 35 SPF sunscreen. I’m not good with protecting my skin from the sun but while I continue to use this product, I will be looking after my skin more since sunscreen is built into the formula. Overall, I like this product because it:
- adds moisture yet controls oil. I have dry skin so I put on some moisturizer beforehand and did not get oily through the day
- protects my skin from aging and the sun with SPF 35 sunscreen
- has a liquid to powder finish that is lightweight and evens out my skin tone
I have a strong feeling that in time with daily use of Benefit’s Big Easy, my skin’s appearance will drastically improve. Since I am a huge Benefit Cosmetics fan, I definitely would recommend trying out this product.
I am a huge fan of Benefit (they’re packaging is the cutest) but I haven’t tried this product! I think this would be perfect for summer as it’s not too covering and has SPF in it! Definitely a product I am going to check out the next time I go to Sephora!
