Benefit | The Porefessional Agent Zero Shine

Hello there;

It has took me a long while to gather up an opinion on this product. Not sure why, because I am usually one to use it once or twice and know if I have fell in love or not. But I don't know, this little product has had me questioning myself. 

I brought this when it was realised back in November/December time.

I was dying to try it and when I saw it in Boots in Meadowhall it was in my hand and to the till within minutes. 

My first impression was, oh yeah you get a lot of product for £23.50. 

Actually no, no you don't. 

There is a cheeky brush underneath the packaging, which don't get me wrong is really handy and I do use it when I apply this. But the brush goes all the way up to around the lips on the woman. So straight away you have cut out half of the bottle. 

When I use this, I always make sure to give it a good shake. Just incase any moisture has gotten into the packaging and made the product stick together. 

I would recommend you tap the product into the lid, little but often as there is no easy way to get it back into the bottle once it is out. And lets face it, you do NOT want to be wasting any of that powder now are you?

The powder itself is really finely milled and is translucent, works really well as a setting powder. It doesn't work well for coverage. So if you are wanting something to cover, this is not your guy.

Once you have tapped out a bit of the product, get the brush and swirl it round several times in the lid allowing the brush to pick the product up.

In circular motions I will apply this to my skin, concentrating mainly on areas I have concealed. 

I find this product does mattify my skin and it doesn't show. Like some powders will have a quite noticeable finish, this doesn't. It is very light weight too, you can hardly tell you have it on your skin when it is applied. But I do not think it covers pores well. It does work better when you pair it up with the Porefessional primer, but thats not a shock now is it? 

All in all, I quite like this product, I usually use it when I am going on a night out. As it's lasting power isn't great. But on the flip side of that, I think it is not worth the value of money at all.

I am not going to sit here and dictate to you if you should buy this or not. But I would probably advise you not too. There are better powders out there, where you get more for your hard earnt money. 

Sorry Benefit.
