Advantages: Subtle yet sexy powder.

Disadvantages: Pricey

Benefit '10' powder duo is a fantastically versatile alternative to a standard blusher. It comes as a pale pink highlighter and bronzer side by side in a square box, with a perfect brush for doing the 'sexy sweep', as it suggests in a small booklet that comes with the product. It can be used to create a perfect sheen on the cheekbone and a defining shadow below, in one sweep of the brush. And if used like this it is best to use the brush the same way round on every application to keep the shades from mixing. The two powders can also be mixed and applied all over the face for a subtle shine and hint of colour, but for this purpose I would use a face powder or bronzer brush. At £22.50 it is an expensive product for the amount supplied, but one box really does go a long way. I use mine every day and it has lasted almost a year - it still has plenty left. I would highly recommend this product for most skin tones, but fair-skinned ladies may find the bronzer a bit too dark to use for the 'sexy sweep' method. It really is a life-saver for those days when your face is looking a bit washed out and needs a boost.

Summary: Fantastic powder, easy to use, to great effect.
