benefit The POREfessional Smoothing & Blurring Foundation

Benefit The POREfessional Smoothing & Blurring Foundation in shade 26C Hero is a weightless liquid foundation designed to help refine the look of pores while providing comfortable, medium coverage. The skincare-inspired formula includes niacinamide, rose hip extract and glycerin, which work to support smoother-looking skin and lasting hydration. It leaves a natural-matte finish that helps to blur the appearance of texture and shine, making it a thoughtful choice for normal, combination, oily and sensitive skin types seeking a smoother, more even-looking complexion.

This foundation is designed to wear comfortably throughout the day, with longwear, waterproof and transfer-resistant properties that help colour stay true. It fits easily into a daily make-up routine as the base step after skincare and primer. The buildable texture means it can be applied lightly for everyday wear or layered where extra coverage is desired, helping skin look more polished while still feeling breathable and soft.

How to use
How to Use:
Shake the bottle well before each use. Apply your usual skincare and, if desired, a pore-smoothing primer. Dot a small amount of The POREfessional Smoothing & Blurring Foundation 26C Hero over the face. Blend evenly using a damp sponge for a smooth, skin-like finish, adding a little more where extra coverage is desired.

Frequency:
Use as needed, according to the product instructions and your make-up routine.

Application Technique:
Apply to clean, moisturised skin after any primer. Use a damp sponge to dab and bounce the foundation over the face, focusing on areas where pores and texture are more visible. Build in thin layers until the desired level of medium coverage is achieved. Set with powder if preferred.

Best Practices:
Start with a small amount and build gradually to avoid a heavy finish. Allow skincare to absorb fully before application. Pair with a pore-refining primer for a smoother-looking result and longer wear. Remove thoroughly at the end of the day with your usual cleanser.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse well with water. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult the product packaging for any additional guidance. Keep out of reach of children.
