Ok, well this has promising ingredients that says it'll improve your skin so that is a plus. I used the original BE for about 4 years and stopped last year when I realized how horribly yellow the...

I received a medium-beige sample from Sephora and am very pleased with this product. I think it creates an air-brushed finish and covers well, but it doesn't look dry or dull like some matte...
