I've recently been into a super glowy and natural makeup look. If you're looking for coverage, this is not it but it's sheer but evens my skin tone just enough to minimize redness and give a super natural finish. As someone whose skin type fluctuates constantly (oily some days, dry the next) this is the first tint I've used that is able to withstand it all. Doesn't cling to dryness/doesn't melt away with moisture. I have VERY sensitive skin and this product is lightweight enough to not cause any irritation/breakouts. My mom (an aesthetician) suddenly started complimenting how good my skin has been looking recently - she thought I had no makeup on. LOVE!!

While I wouldn't exactly call this a tinted moisturizer (not enough active ingredients or hydrating properties) this is a fabulous skin tint. I have received so many complexion based compliments lately when I have been wearing this so I think it's going to be a staple.I used this a few times when I first purchased it and was always impressed, however it wasn't until late that I've realized that this is a A+ product. I normally apply it with a few drops of Auric's luminizer, sometimes I add in a drop or two of facial oil and this applies with ease. It has sheer to light coverage but can be built up and you won't experience heaviness or pilling.

I am glad I decided to rotate this back in my daily makeup collection, it's gorgeous.

okay so I've only had it on for 10 minutes and don't yet know how it might go through my day, but so far this is by far the most amazing skin tint I've tried. I have struggled to find some sort of cc/bb/tinted cream which didn't feel too heavy or cakey on my skin. this product glides on so smoothly even without a primer, and the shade is absolutely perfect. it is pretty sheer coverage, but I feel like you could probably build it a bit if you wanted to. I've got combo skin but definitely leaning more on the dry side ATM, and this did not latch on to my dry patches at all!! I love love this product so far and feel like you can use it alone or with a primer/setting powder if you wanted something a bit more long lasting/noticeable. If you're on the fence, I highly ...

When I bought this product after it launched I thought I would use it strictly for the summer months since living in a busy city + 30 degree Celsius weather isn’t cute but without my realizing it I was reaching for this product day after day regardless of the temperature outside. Once you dab it all in (with a finger first then even it out with a foundation brush imo) and let it rest for a couple of minutes it really does seem like a second skin and when you pair it with this brands concealer? Unbeatable.I have crazy combo skin and my nose seems to just repel makeup but adding a bit more seems to do the trick and it lasts some serious hours (with or without powder, again imo) ((one little issue could be it can sorta clump but I can’t tell if that’s a “my skin is ...

I have pretty dry skin and an oily t-zone. I usually have a problem with products separating on my combination skin but this tinted moisturizer didn't have that problem. I was a bit nervous that the shade would be too warm for me but once blended in it matched perfectly and provided light coverage while still evening out my skin tone. It lasted all day on me and worked well with my other products. I will say that if my skin is particularly dryer than usual, the moisturizer will tend to accentuate my dry spots. But this normally can be avoided with good skin prep (hydrating primer, moisturizer, etc)
I hated this product on me but I’m still giving it 3 stars because I don’t think it’s a bad product, it just really didn’t work on my skin. It says that it works for combo skin but… if you are oily/combo like I am you might want to give it a miss. I have a pretty oily t-zone and the rest of my face is normal. It went on nicely but wouldn’t stay on. It broke up pretty badly and wore off in places even when used with a primer and setting spray. After wearing it 4-5 times to try and get it to work I gifted it to my sister who is also combo skin but less oily than I am. She loves it! So, I do think it’s worth trying as the people who it works for love it. Just know that it may not be for everyone.
I love this tinted moisturizer so so much. The color 10N matches my light skin tone perfectly. I have very dry skin and always have problems with any foundation I use. Normally I use Nars Sheer Glow which works well and is great for dry skin - but even that sometimes can get patchy. This tinted moisturizer has pretty good coverage for being light and honestly my face has never looked more soft and dewy! I love this formula so much, no patchy spots on my face either. I love how light it feels too. Very happy with this product.
I have combination, acne-prone and sensitive skin, and prefer lightweight products that won't further clog my pores. I love tinted moisturizers/skin tints bc they are so much more breathable than a traditional foundation. When I heard this could be a replacement for the Glossier Skin Tint; liquid formula and slightly more coverage I thought this would be a great alternative. I tried this tinted moisturizer in so many ways bc I really wanted it to work (extra moisturizing base, primer, exfoliating beforehand) and every time it just made my skin look dry and clung to dry patches. The worst part was that by the end of the day I just looked like an extra dry crispy mess.It's really too bad because there are so many shade choices for this tinted moisturizer. For ...

For reference, I have light-medium skin with a warm golden undertones. I wear the Bare Minerals Tinted Gel Cream in Buttercream, Nars concealer in Nougatine, and used to wear the Glossier skin tint in G9. 22W in this shade was the best match. I still suggest trying this bc it seems to work for a lot of people - it just wasn't for me!
I really wanted to like this, because of the glowing reviews. I used the shade finder, but this shade is still a bit pale for me, but that was fine because I figured I'd deepen with some bronzer and itd be fine. That worked but what I really dislike is that it doesn't stay put. Even with powder and setting powder. Or with setting spray. Nothing keeps this on my face. I smacked my face on the wall reaching for toilet paper (don't lie, we've all been there lol) at work and there was a lovely faceprint on the wall so along with my washroom panic, there was now evidence I'd smacked my face in an awkward position. The writing was literally on the wall. I'm a nurse and I sweat and believe me, my mask makes this KNOWN. I think somehow there's more makeup on the mask than I ...

The writing was literally on the wall. I'm a nurse and I sweat and believe me, my mask makes this KNOWN. I think somehow there's more makeup on the mask than I had put on my face. Was my skin producing it somehow? Anyway, I was so ready to love this and make it a staple in my routine- I stupidly threw out the packaging and receipt. And I've given it chance after chance after chance, and it consistently disappoints me. Like most of my relationships. Maybe this is something I should bring up to my therapist- seems like there's a pattern there. Anyway if you love it, I genuinely love that for you and hope it treats you better than it treats me, but for now I think I need to call time of death on this toxic situation and find something better for me.
For background, I'm 35 and looking to put less makeup and heaviness onto my skin as I'm aging. I have textured skin, large pores, redness, and combo skin (dry forehead and oily temples/cheeks). I've used this product for the past two weeks, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. I wanted to love it, but I don't. The formula feels nice and it didn't break me out, but it doesn't look good as it wears throughout the day. It clings onto my dry patches and creates an oil slick in the other areas, I don't think I've ever had to blot so much! I love that it has spf and the coverage is medium, which is good, but it also separates. I wouldn't repurchase.
