Growing up, I fought so hard against my Mom’s “subtle” makeup admonitions, I ended up buying Cheekers blush in hideous coral or fuschia colors, convinced that no one would see it if it was too light. Now that I’m old enough that exerting my independence no longer matters, I’m reverting to the delicate colors Mom always favored. Dandelion blush by BeneFit is the perfect blush for just about everyone- a lovely ballet slipper pink that dusts on effortlessly and leaves a youthful, dewey glow. Plus, I love bringing out that impossibly cute little box and having women say, “Where did you get that?!?”. Try BeneFit’s “Georgia” blush for a more salmon colored hue.

This is packaged in a lovely square box like Chinese rice powder, with a Chinese style brush. The powder is medium pale pink, and thus it will NOT show on darker complexions. Either you swear by this as the best powder all over blush ever, or it just doesn’t show up. So beware.

Benefit is such a great line, and Dandelion is an incredible powder finish. It makes my skin look soft and glowy. I use it over CoverGirl’s tinted moisturizer Smoother for an ultra natural look. This is one of my staples. I hate spending anything more than ten minutes on makeup, preferably five. For a girl who likes minimal fussing and hates the weight of caky finishes, this is a winner!

Other reviewers are correct–this stuff is a ballerina pink that (I strongly suspect) would never show up on a complexion lighter than say, mid-medium. If you’re fair of face, the powder spreads on with tiny (and I mean barely visible) specks of shimmer that won’t make you look glittery, but instead reflect light to give you that nice pink glow when you’re feeling off-kilter.
This could be used as either a blush or what it’s marketed as, and that’s an all-over face color. It doesn’t show up on my skin as necessarily pink, but lends it a nice, light, healthy flush that looks great with whatever other shades of makeup or colors of clothing I’m wearing. Some women change their blush to match their outfits; this stuff looks good with just about everything because it’s so natural.
The box is small, and what you’re getting is a pressed powder set within a rice paper box. You actually tote the little box and its cute brush around inside. I know that seems kind of silly to note, but when you see the box itself, it’s a little surprising. And it’s up to you on whether or not you use the brush–I like it because I want very specific coverage, but if you want to be dusted all over, use a big powder brush.
For women with darker skin tones who want a nice glow like this one, I suggest Benefit Dallas–you lucky gals get to use a pink/berry powder with a bronzer that those of us with very light skin couldn’t carry off.

Dandelion is a finishing powder, but can also be used as a blush. I love putting this rose-scented powder as my last step to brighten up my face. It really does leave your skin with a ‘petal like finish’ as the company claims. I also use it on all my girlfriends before we go out at night! The cute little box and brush make it all the more better!
