I’ve been using this tinted moisturizer quite a bit lately. It’s light and you can’t even feel it once it’s on, but it evens out my skintone a bit and goes on quickly when I’m running late to class (which is most days). It’s no good at covering up blemishes, though, so I have to use concealer with it if my skin’s acting up (which, again, is most days). It is also very weak on shine control, but that’s what blotting papers are for.

This product only gives very light coverage, but it also matches my skin perfectly, and it doesn’t need careful blending. It does make me look a bit more put together than if I rolled out of bed and ran out the door barefaced. I recommend it if you don’t need much coverage or want to rock the “No, I’m not late because I stopped to put my face on” look. I still switch to actual foundation if I’m going somewhere where I want to be looked, at, though. This stuff doesn’t quite cut it for that.
