I have this in ivory1. It went on sheer and added a little eveness and diffused most of the redness in my face. It moisturized nicely and has SPF 20 that I really like. Basic TM and did its job.
So the problem is after 90minutes I was grease city and orange. I tried setting it with my Sonia Kashuk brightening matte powder and it worked for a bit bit another hour later and I was greasy again. The powder is white and I put extra on hoping it would lighten the orange a bit but that was not happening.
I will not repurchase.

This TM is alot thicker then most i have used, the coverage is great however it dose'nt blend well and it seems to make my face oliy and I do not have oily skin! I love the med. coverage foundations so maybe i was expecting too much but i was not crazy about this and will not re purchase it!

This is some strange stuff. I've never used a tinted moisturizer before, but I'm sure this isn't how it's supposed to be!
The product is thicker than it should be, and it doesn't blend well at all. It just sits on my face, leaving it oily and blotchy-looking. However, I have bought it time and time again because it is wonderful for my neck and chest! I've even used it on my arms in the summer. Somehow, it blends much better in these areas and I love the subtle color and SPF it gives. I just wish it did the same for my face...
The tube is convenient and easy to squeeze, and it's fairly large in size. It lasts awhile even though I'm using it across a larger area.

This tinted moisturizer is horrible :(
CONS
Affter a few hours of wearing it, it wore of and my skin looked very oily.
It also has a shine to it...which made my skin look oily (not glowy)
And I noticed that my skin would break out with acne after wearing for a few days...
Its about 18-16$ which is very pricey when a drugstore foundation would work better!
PROS
You only need a tiny dime size amount...so it should last awhile. (I've been using it for a few months)
This was my 1st makeup...so I didn't know any better. But I think ill throw it out.

I wore this product instead of makeup when I was 15-19 years old. Once I switched to this from Neutrogena liquid makeup and other face-clogging makeups, my boyfriend at the time said, "Wow your face looks nice, what did you do different?" Seriously, if you don't have a lot of blemishes to cover and have nice skin, this is the perfect moisturizer to highlight your great skin. It makes you look awake, refreshed, and evens out your skintone. I loved it, but I'm afraid to buy it again because it's been so long since I've worn it that the formula may be different. I would like to buy it again someday as it worked really well.

UPDATE: I gave this a try again and its just a splotchy uneven mess no matter how I try to make it work. PLUS about an hour later is turned orangey on me. Its just BAD. I miss my Stila TM :( So now I use Neutrogena break out free spf 55 which is heavenly, then top it with my HG foundations. BEST solution ever. ------------------------------------------------------------I was curious to try this for the summer time and I wanted something with a decent spf level so I picked this up in Beige 1. I'm NC25 and this shade is a touch too light. This TM pretty much just sat on my skin and settled into my smile lines and other creases on my face that I normally would not have noticed. It highlighted my wrinkles basically. A bit disappointed with this formula. I probably would not repurchase.

I LOVE this toted moisturizer. My step mom is a Mary Kay consultant so I get it for free. However, I would buy it anyways. I have mild acne and it covers it with a dime sized amount. I can wear it for any occasion and I even use it as my "I want to look nice today makeup"

I LOVE this TM. It blends in perfectly well and doesn't break me out. It also has pretty good coverage compared to other TM's I've tried. I don't find it to be that oily either, considering I have very oily skin. All in all, I give it five stars.

I really like this TM, i think it really works with my skin, it stays all day, and doesn't make me oily, BUT i have to be very careful when i'm putting this because (at least on me) if i put too much it settle and it is a little "cakey" feeling, but to be honest with this TM i don't even need that much of product because with a very little amount it covers very well my skin and makes it look very good (or at least i like how my skin looks with this) :)

I like the sheerness of this product and the ability to tint and moisturize in one step. However I have noticed my skin feeling more oily than normal after using this product even after applying powder. I will not repurchase.

Awful product. Does NOT blend. I love Mary Kay, but not this product.

This is the first TM I have ever used. I got this with my timewise set instead of the day lotion. I also got the powder foundation. I absolutely hate this stuff. It doesnt ever blend right, it sits on my face greasy and oily looking. In the summer time it melts off my face and drips off. Its like it suffocates my face and then it gets sweaty. I use it in conjunction with the powder foundation for more coverage and its a disaster. Ill update in the winter to see if i like it any more when it wont melt off me and leave streaks

Hands down best TM i've tried! Im not into heavy foundations and this is light, silky and goes on so smooth. For a long time i was using a TM by Smashbox and i prefer this. It gives great coverage without looking overdone and it does not make skin appear oily throughout the day which ive had happen with several TM. At first i used this alone but soon realized that applying a powder on top helps it to set it and keep it from fading throughout the day

This is a great TM with a very light coverage which is kinda disappointing because,even when I dont need a heavy coverage, this doesnt cover at all; its good if you're looking for solar protection and a very natural looking foundation; maybe with more than one layer you could build a nice coverage. Always set it with powder because its sticky and too glowy. I like the tube but is kinda small, anyway the price is affordable. Great option for begginers like me.

I don't know why I ever strayed from this product...I luv this tinted moisturizer a lot(HG status!!). Spreads well,not cakey at all and never orange.I luv this for use in the summer months mainly but also yr round.....I use this in beige 2 and even tho this is a tinted moisturizer it actually gives me great coverage. I will continue to buy and buy again until they stop making it lol

I really like this TM because it goes well with my pale yet olive undertone skin (Ivory 100) and for me (moderately oil skin) it is easy to apply. It also doesn't leave me with the dreaded color difference between my face and neck that usually happens with other TMs I've tried (Clinique, Covergirl). I usually wear a facial sunscreen underneath it though the TM does have an SPF of 20 because I'm pale and skin cancer runs in my family. I haven't had any issues with it becoming cakey and I don't use any other moisturizer with it other than an eye cream. The price is a bit high, but each tube (I'm on my 4th in a little over a year of using this) lasts at least 3-4 months. Only problem is the coverage doesn't last as long as I would like (seems to wear off in about 6 hours) and is not really oily skin proof.

This is my new foundation!! With just a little concealer under my eyes this works perfectly as foundation for me. It doesn't feel heavy or oily like a lot of tinted moisturizers do. Doesn't break me out and it's super cheap. Wouldn't have been able to get away with using this as foundation until I started using their cleanser. I do put on their moisturizer underneath this. I don't think this alone would be enough to soften my skin.

Cannot get this to work for my skin. It dries super fast and then when I try to smooth it, it balls up or shreds off. Tried different levels of heavy moisturizer under this and it seems to make no difference. Just a bust for me and my skintype. Not for dry skin.

Nice thin feeling liquid that spreads easily. It evens out my skin slightly in prep for my foundation. I like it has spf 20. Nice packaging.

I was hoping this would work for me but alas it does not. I was hoping to find something somewhat cheap that I could wear to even out my skin on days where I wanna do mininal makeup. I first tried the lightest shade & I had to really pile it on in order to get any type of coverage. I know this isn't a foundation but people say TM evens out skin tone & this really didn't do that. After about 30 min my skin looked like it did before I put the TM on. I decided to try the next shade up and that's when I noticed that the TM just sits on my face. I tried applying it in different ways and still it wouldn't blend. This also made my skin really oily. After a while it looked like the TM turned orangish. I'm glad it seems to work for others but this did nothing for me. continued >>
