    I love this tinted moisturizer. It's the first time that I've tried to to use one as I have always preferred the greater coverage that more traditional foundations afford. But, quite frankly, I'm...

    I wore this product in 95 degree uber humid weather, and it definitely kept my shine in check and looked great, which I cannot say anything else could do. I am happy kids!

    First I ordered a sample and was pleasantly impressed with this quite affordable tinted moisturizer. The lightest shade is somewhat too yellow and dark for me though. But it's so sheer and...

    This is my "OMG I'm late and I haven't done my makeup yet!" face product. Even a makeup novice like me can smear on some TM in short order without it looking rushed. Add concealer to trouble spots,...

    Bad colour, poor texture, DEFINITELY NOT MATTE. The only good thing is it comes in a squeeze tube & the return policy.

    I like this product for the most part - the colors are great (for me!) with the lightest being best for winter, the next lightest being great for summer, and a mixture of the two being best for in...

    Love this stuff in the warmer months. It's matte, but not drying. It covers enough to even out my skintone.

    I wanted to like this product; the Sheer Ivory is a good match for my hard-to-match skin. But I applied it just a half hour ago and already I'm feeling some bumps on my jawline.

    I had been looking for a good TM that had zinc oxide/titanium dioxide as the active sunscreen ingredients practically forever, so I was excited to try this. Love the results, feels light, good...

    **** SECOND UPDATE. I have used this product for a few years now. I still like it, mainly because I haven't found anything better (TM with only physical sunscreen). My only gripes with this are...

    I really really wanted to like this. It is not matte, but has a good sunscreen that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Big plus. It also has decent coverage, more than some regular foundations...

    I really wanted to like this. But right after I put it on, I have this greasy shine to my face (and I just washed my face!). Not even loads of powder will soak up the grease from this stuff. I'm...

    This was very yellow, and when i put it on, my skin started to itch and felt very dry and tight. It actually magnified the fine lines I have around my nose and eyes. And if that wasn't enough, I...

    It slightly burns my face, which probably means I'm allergic to it. What a shame, I love it otherwise: smooth application, easy blend, disappears into skin, subtle enchancement that doesn't hide...
