Benefit Coralista All Over Face Powder

If you are familiar with Benefit cosmetics, then you would totally recognize the newest color in their line of all over face powders that come in the super cute little boxes with fantastic graphics and a little wooden handle brush. In the past the box-o-powders have been bronzers (Hoola), blushes (Throb), brighteners (Dandelion), or even combinations of a few of the afore mentioned (10).

Coralista is a warm coral pink powder with a whole lot of gold shimmer, perfect for those lucky gals heading for the beach. As with the other shades in the box line, the color can be rather strong, so I would recommend blowing or tapping off excess color before applying to the cheek, especially if you have fair skin. The shimmer is also pretty intense, but I love it, it means you don't have to apply a shimmer over top the blush - it's a time saver. But I'm not sure whether I would classify the color as an all over powder. That would be my big critique of the box-o-powders, some just wouldn't look right if applied over the entire face- think big shiny mess. Otherwise, it's a pretty hot color- very tropical and flirty, and a definite keeper for when summer finally arrives.
