First of all I think this product has great packaging. It is a squeeze tube, allowing you to dispense exactly the amount that you need and meaning that you can easily get just about every last drop out! Secondly I love the consistency and coverage this gives me, and the fact that the colour/coverage is buildable. I also love the dewy, slightly sunkissed look this gives me - very youthful and fresh. Of course the fact that this prodcut is all natural is a MASSIVE bonus. I will definitely repurchase.

I wore this tinted moisturizer today, and think it does a pretty good job. It doesn't cover like a foundation, but u can put it on a couple times, and for me it covers enough. I like the "dewy" type finish it has since i'm older and it gives appearance of having younger skin. It has never broke me out (that i know of) and my skin is pretty sensitive to things.

I've been using Everyday Minerals for a while, but I've become dissatisfied with its inability to cover up redness near my jaw and chin and have been on the hunt for a TM that might be able to cover the redness and even my skin tone.

I decided to try this TM because it's one of the most natural ones out there that isn't super-expensive (check the environmental working group SkinDeep database). I have sensitive skin that has reacted to most other TMs I've tried, so I hoped getting something natural would do the trick.

As other reviewers have mentioned, it smells like lavender, which I didn't find completely offensive but could have gone without. The squeeze tube is nice for dispensing product, and I got good coverage with my fingers. I used a moisturizer underneath, and I have to say that this stuff did make my skin look a lot better, and didn't get oily at all over the course of my work day. I really liked the finish, it gave me fresh, even skin without looking like a mask.

Unfortunately, after a few days of using this I broke out. It wasn't as bad as with other products, but a breakout is a breakout, so back it went.

If you don't need full coverage, want an easy-to-use TM, and don't have sensitive skin, this might work for you, and is totally worth the price. It's at least worth a try! I'm just sad it didn't work for me.

I was hesitant to try out this item because of some of the reviews on this site. But I am so glad I bought it because I will just be using this from now on. I have dry skin and so this product worked well with me and my sister in law has really oily skin and she loves this product. I also wanted to emphasize that this item NEEDS TO BE SHAKEN WELL...and you need to gently squeeze the tube to get little by little out of it.

Pros:

- I love that it is in a tube and hygienic (although it would have been better in a pump)
- Hydrating not greasy as some people mentioned.
- 80% organic, no parabens and no GMO's
- Good pigmentation and can be be layered for more coverage.
- Good price for an organic product!
- You get a lot of product


Cons:

Basically none!

This such a weird product. There are things about it that are really awful and things that are great. First of all, the packaging is hideously ugly - very 80s. Just because something's organic, doesn't mean it shouldn't be stylish and modern. And the product itself has some major issues. The lavender scent is so overpowering it makes me gag when I'm applying it. Why would they think we want our faces to smell like a sachet for our underwear drawer? Luckily the scent does seem to fade fairly quickly. The product stings when I apply it, probably because it has so much alcohol in it. It dries to a shiny finish so I have to powder. This is the lightest shade and it is perfect for me now in August which means it will definitely be too dark in winter. This product got panned by Paula Begoun because apparently lavender is terrible for your skin and alcohol causes your cells to die. I'm bummed because I feel like the amount of coverage is perfect - it totally evens out redness and it doesn't break me out, which is rare. And it wears well - over the course of the day, it doesn't appear to oxidize and the coverage lasts despite wilting heat and major sweating. I hope they reformulate this and ditch the stinky scent and the alcohol. I don't think I'll return it but I won't repurchase it either.

I LOVE this tinted moisturizer! I have super sensitive, acne prone skin with tons of scarring and dark spots. I have been wearing foundation for years and would not be seen in public with my bare skin. I found that it looks ridiculous to cake my face with foundation in some situations (e.g. at the pool or gym) so figured tinted moisturizers were a must so that I would look more natural. I tried a CoverGirl tinted moisturizer before and was pretty disappointed. I do understand that tinted moisturizers should have very light coverage, but I found that the CoverGirl t.m did not have any color in it. I decided to give this Physician's Formula t.m a try since I saw a deal at Walmart where you can buy two for $15 (two came in a box). Normally one would cost $15. I bought it in the shade Fair to Light because while my skin is fair, it is still darker than most pale people. I apply this t.m without using any concealer or anything underneath and I use my fingers. It gives me a very natural appearance and hides my blemishes. It also doesn't become shiny or give me that caked on face foundation does. Ever since I have started using this people have been complimenting me and telling me that my skin looks much better. Some people have also asked me whether I am even wearing make-up; that's how natural it looks. So far I am really impressed and it has not broken me out yet which is a HUGE plus for me since my skin reacts to everything. I have been using this almost everyday for a month.

decent coverage (about what i'd expect from a tm). nothing amazing but the lavender scent!! that alone will probably lead to a repurchase.

Formula was runny, so it was extremely messy.
Made my skin look red and excessively oily, which is quite an issue as I have normal to dry skin. It made my skin feel dry, and felt heavier on my face than my usual foundation. Very little coverage, and weird scent. I really wanted to like this product, but it had no redeeming points. ):
I wouldn't recommend!

Best tinted moisturizer I've ever used...in my entire life. And I have been partial to tinted moisturizer's versus conventional makeup since I started wearing it.

Some have mentioned that it is a little heavy for oily skin. I can see how someone would feel that way, I too have oily skin, however this product absolutely does not clog my pores and I find that if I set it with a couple swipes of powder (I also use PF's Organic pressed powder), it looks and feels awesome.

I don't think the lavender smell is too strong, although you definitely can smell it, but it reminds me of going to a day spa so...I rather enjoy that mini-sensory break. :)

The tube is strong so it doesn't crack as with other tubed products I've used in the past. And I'm so fastidious about using this up that when I can't squeeze out any more product I actually cut it open and use it up that way. I can honestly say I have NEVER done that with a product before. Obsessed much? Haha...

This is my HG tm. This is the first product Ive ever bought a backup of. This has nice coverage for being a tinted moisturizer, and doesn't oxidize on my skin. I set it with a pp and my skin looks amazing.
