Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Most of the reviews on this product are actually pretty accurate. I've tried tons of bb's/cc's/tinted moisturizers trying to find the perfect everyday product. I don't like an overly-flawless look where my skin doesn't look like skin, I don't like the feel of heavy foundation, but I DO want my skin tone evened out, redness balanced, blemishes concealed, etc. I'm combination/oily and prone to breakouts, so MANY other products have been too greasy, broken me out, and melted off my face. The only other product that's worked well for me is Garnier miracle perfecting BB, BUT if you have fair skin like me then you know even the "light/medium" shade is too tan/dark to really work. I have to say, I think I found my near-perfect but as-good-as-it's-gonna-get product here. What I like: - lightweight but build-able - pretty decent staying power, I still look pretty good at the end of an 8 hour work day - doesn't break me out (yes!) - pretty good size bottle - color options! Side note, here. It definitely oxidizes quite a bit. When I initially ordered I was debating between the Light and the Light/Medium. I have more yellow undertones so I tend to find the tone of a more medium light is better for me. Considering the oxidizing factor I went with light and boy am I glad. When I put the light on straight out of the bottle it's a near perfect match for me, but throughout the day I start looking pretty tan. Not orangey or odd looking, just tan. Given that the rest of my body is very NOT tan, I decided to order a bottle of "lighter and light" and now I blend the two together for a great match. Lightest light is SUPER pale, pinky peach.. Probably only good for those with that porcelain doll pinkish skin. I attached a pic of the two colors for those who want to reference. Light is on the left and lighter than light on the right. What I don't love: - it definitely has a lot of sunscreen in it. If you have sensitive eyes, this product stings. I keep it away from my eyes and just use concealer in that area, but it wouldn't work well if you are sensitive and want to use it around your eye area. - it can be a little challenging to apply. I found that a beauty blender soaks up way too much product and wastes it. I tried a foundation brush (honestly I suck at using those) and couldn't get rid of streaky brush strokes. I now apply with my fingers and it works. I put a base layer on and then let it dry a bit before smoothing it out. Otherwise I feel like I'm just endlessly pushing the product around my face. - it takes a while to dry. I'm impatient so I pack on a setting powder so I can move forward with the rest of my makeup. Overall I really like the product and think I'll keep buying it! I actually think it's a pretty good value. So happy to have found it!
