benefit The POREfessional Smoothing & Blurring Foundation

Benefit The POREfessional Smoothing & Blurring Foundation 25C Awe is a liquid foundation designed to smooth the look of pores and refine skin texture while offering comfortable, medium coverage. The lightweight formula is enriched with niacinamide, rose hip extract and glycerin, which together help to support skin hydration and promote a more even-looking complexion over time. The finish is natural-matte, helping to minimise unwanted shine while still allowing skin to look like skin.

Ideal for those who want a pore-blurring base that doesn’t feel heavy, this foundation is suitable for everyday wear and works especially well on normal to combination and oily skin types. Use it after skincare and primer as your main complexion step, then follow with concealer and powder if desired. The buildable texture means you can keep it sheer for day or layer where you’d like extra coverage, leaving the complexion looking smoother, more unified and softly mattified.

How to use
How to Use:
Shake the bottle well before each use. Apply your usual skincare and, if desired, a primer. Dispense a small amount of foundation and apply evenly over the face with a damp sponge, brush or clean fingertips. Blend outwards from the centre of the face, building in thin layers where extra coverage is desired.

Frequency:
Use as needed as part of your make-up routine.

Application Technique:
Work on well-prepped, dry skin. Start with a small amount of product and blend quickly, as the formula sets to a natural-matte finish. Press and roll a damp sponge over areas with visible pores to help achieve a smoother look.

Best Practices:
Apply after moisturiser and SPF in the daytime. Build coverage gradually rather than applying a thick layer. Allow the foundation to set before adding concealer, powder or other complexion products.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a professional if needed. Keep out of reach of children and follow any additional guidance on the packaging.
