I have oily, sensitive skin that historically doesn’t play well with sunscreen, including most Japanese selections due to the frequent inclusion of alcohol. After trying a sample of this from Sephora, I fell in love and purchased the full size. My skin is very fair (NC10ish) and this does not leave a white cast. It also sinks in and dries down completely - it doesn’t leave any noticeable sheen …Read more

I got this during my most recent Perioral Dermatitis flare, brought on by a reaction to a face cream.

I've also noticed that my skin doesn't get anywhere near as oily as it usually does when I use this. I mainly apply it around my …Read more

I'll start by saying that a halo placement or ombre effect (darker shade on outer half, lighter on inner) with two-three colors is about as fancy as it gets for me. I am both lazy and inept when it comes to eyeshadow despite my love for the variety of shades out there. Most days I just do an all-over wash of color with a shimmer or duochrome. This palette is therefore quite perfect for …Read more
