    For reference, I am about a NC20-25 depending on the season. I have used this for roughly a week, then I started breaking out like crazy. I tried again a few days later after my pimples subsided,...

    I didn't really like this. It made me look orange. The formula is also surprisingly runny and dries really greasy, so you will need to apply powder over this. Also, THERE ARE PARABENS IN IT. A big...

    Not amazing, but not terrible. Pluses: I liked the texture of it as it reminded me of Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer, though not as thick as LM. It doesn't make my t-zone as shiny as Laura...

    At first it worked okay. I got light to medium and it matched my skin okay. It made me a little orange but with powder over it wasn't noticable. Then one day after having the product for a month or...

    This product has a horrible color selection and an extremely runny formula. It has very light coverage, it felt greasy on my skin and it broke me out. If you have oily skin this is definitely not...

    I like this product bc it turns your exact skin color and looks so natural. There are some negatives, though. One, there's not a great amount in each bottle. Also it doesn't cover everything you...

    Unless you have almost perfect skin, i wouldn't recommend this to you. Although it does match to your skin tone perfectly, it offers no coverage! I have mild redness on my cheeks and it did not...

    This fell short of the Almay mark. The coverage was little to none, and when it did finally "match" up with the skin it was soo pink.. It oxidizes horribly and just all in all not a good product. I...
