I love a fabulous cheek color, but sadly, nothing had been released recently that made me super excited. Thanks to Benefit Cosmetics, that all changed. With the release of their Fine-One-One product, I now have an amazing three in one cheek and lip color that will give me color, shape and a nice lift!
Here is Benefit Cosmetics description of the product:
Fine-one-one to the rescue! This sheer brightening cheek & lip color gives your look instant LIFT, SHAPE and POP. Glide on the three shades—pink champagne, sheer watermelon and soft coral—for a sheer coral pink flush that builds from soft & natural to bright & cheery.
The packaging of this product is super sleek and looks amazing. It’s a great product to keep in your purse or makeup bag. I apply it after my foundation and powder have been applied to the skin. I start at the apple of my cheek and go up to the temple, with the highlight color on top, and swipe up. I gently blend upwards, in small circular motion. It’s a very simple product to use and it really does give you an amazing pop of color. To use on the lips, simply turn the product to its side and apply all three colors over the lips. I’m a bit OCD about my products and when I did this, it made all the colors blend together on my actual product, which annoyed me. I don’t want the watermelon color all over the sheer pink champagne color. So for those of you who are like me, I use a lip brush and add a little bit of each color to my hand, blend and then apply all over the lips. You can also use the pink champagne color to the middle of the lips to bring a little bit more attention to those areas and also to the cupid’s bow area on top of the lip!
People with enlarged pores, beware! When I used this product without a good primer and full coverage foundation, it really did show my pores like crazy! I can still use this product, but always make sure to use a good primer and a foundation that covers your pores. You never want to bring emphasis to your pores! It’s also a really good idea for anyone, to make sure you are blending correctly. When applied, this product comes out in three stripes on your face, blend till it looks natural.

I really loved this product. It’s something I seem to keep reaching for daily and I don’t do that with a lot of products. This would look great on any skin tone and really gives you a nice, sheer wash of color to the cheeks and lips. The price of this product is $30.00 for .28oz, which might seem kind of high at first, but you are getting three products. If you bought a blush, highlighter and contour color separately, the price would be way more than $30.00. I purchased my product at Ulta, but it can be found at Sephora and other high end department stores that carry Benefit, as well as Benefit’s website.
