Hey beauts!

Friday night I attended the Leeds event for Benefits launch of their new Fake Up concealer. 

The event was held in the beautiful Malmaison hotel. We arrived a little early, so sat in the lobby area until every thing was ready.

We were welcomed into the room with a glass of Prosecco and huge smiles. There was also orange juice and water for the non drinkers, and trays of amazing canapes! 
The room was like a like Benefit heaven. Cushions with 'fake up' printed on them were dotted around the seating, and there was a dresser full of goodies to play with.

We were introduced to Fake Up by the gorge Lisa Potter-Dixon, Benefits head make-up and trend artist (and brow expert). I could have listened to her talk for hours. 
Lisa demonstrated how to use Fake Up and even shared a way to use the darkest shade on lighter skin tones. We also had a little sneak peak at the new World Famous Neutrals palettes. It save to say they're now on my need list.

So onto the reason for this amazing event...

Fake Up concealer is a new crease control, hydrating concealer. 
The concealer itself is surrounded by a ring of moisturising balm containing vitamin E and apple seed extract.
Available in three shades, there is something suitable for every skin tone. The formula is lightweight and feels super silky smooth. 

If you're a fan of a good contour, the deep shade is amazing for that. Just apply under the cheekbone and blend upwards. Using this under your foundation will create the most amazing Kim K make-up look. (I can vouch for this, I tried it for the FABB event the next day and it looked incredible!)

Like I said above, I've already given this product a good test run and I can confirm that I found no creasing at all, even after 8 hours wear. 

We were lucky enough to be given all three shades, as well as the Hello Flawless powder. 
A few lucky ducks even won some other products after answering some questions about Fake Up and Benefit in general. 
I'm never quick enough for that kind of thing! Haha. 

I had a great time, and I can't wait until the next time I can meet with the gorgeous Benebabes!
I vlogged the evening, so I'll leave the video below!
