Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Been using this for years. Works well for my combination, pimple prone skin and protects it from the sun. Adds a nice luminosity to the complexion and does cover up some flaws. It is sheer, so if you have something to conceal I suggest you use a good concealer as this won't cover everything. When I have asian glow it does seem to restore me from beet red to a more pink-tinged neutral color. The darker colors are nice because you can use them to contour. The light colors help you highlight. The effect is very natural so it looks like you are wearing no makeup. It is also water resistant for 80 minutes which is important to me because I swim. You do need to use makeup remover to remove this due to its water resistance. Cleanser alone won't be enough. Use a cleansing oil 1st. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update: Years after writing this review I'm STILL using this product as my everyday makeup/sunscreen and love how it fits so well into my 5 minute makeup routine. People are so used to me wearing this product that when I'm not wearing it people tell me I look tired and not my usual radiant self (I suppose some things stay the same). I am an avid hiker and this has helped give me the sun protection I need now that I am more serious about protecting my skin. It does take a while to activate a new brush, but once it's activated it works very well. I just start swirling the new brush on some tissue paper, watch some youtube videos while doing this and keep going till I can actually see the color. I also wouldn't recommend applying it on sweaty, greasy, just-lotioned/oiled skin as it will make the bristles of the brush less effective. If you are worried about keeping the brush clean I recommend just pouring out the powder and then applying with another brush or only use it right after your last step of your skincare routine, but only after letting your lotions/oils/serums dry first. I've been wearing tan in the summer and medium in the winter. If I have leftover tan in the winter, then I can use that as a light bronzer for some contour.
