    I purchased this in "sheer beige) during PB's Labor Day free shipping offer. As others have written, it is extremely sheer, but evens out the redness very nicely. I was looking for something...

    True to its name "Barely There", this foundation has minimal coverage. It does even out the slight blotchiness I have on my face, and I appreciate the high SPF. It's not an absolute matte on me...

    Pros: I love the sheer coverage, well, it's not really coverage, it just evens out the overall tone of your skin. It has SPF20 and I can wear it around my eyes and it stays put and doesn't sting!...

    My skin is pale, with just a slight pinkish tint. This product would be perfect for me if I could find a good color match. It's far too yellow on me.

    I had been using Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizer for years on weekends, and when I wanted a little something to even out my complexion ($35, and I had to wear a separate moisturizer underneath). I...

    Great product. Loved the yellow-based. It's so difficult to find TM without a pink base. A little pricey, especially compared to Clinique's Almost Makeup.

    Ol Paula missed the mark with this one. It turned me a hideous shade of orange and I felt like I was wearing a mask.

    Right now, this is my favourite sheer foundation/TM. I wore Sheer Ivory in the winter (no, I don't know why it's called Ivory - it's light, not pale), and now I'm wearing Sheer Neutral. Both work...

    I really like this product - it looks very natural on my fair skin, and doesn't seem to add any oil to my oily t-zone. I do get shiny after a few hours, but even with nothing on my face I get oily,...

    Awesome product! No coverage at all, but evens out well. It's the perfect product for me on those days I'm going to be outside and need a good SPF without the obvious foundation look (which is...

    I have fair, sensitive skin that can only tolerate titanium dioxide or zinc oxide sunscreens, so the SPF 20 TD sunscreen in this caught my eye. I love it. I have relied on Clinique's City Block...

    I really wanted to like this tinted moisturizer - I don't like heavier foundations and hoped this would be exactly what I've been looking for, but unfortunatly this was a miss for me. The feel of...

    Very nice for those days where I don't want to be made up but want a little something. It evens me out and helps me stay matte. I'm a pale olive and the lightest tone is a good match for me. I...

    I am a PPP and have this in Sheer Ivory. It is a bit yellow, but that helps to counteract the redness in my skin. It has a nice matte finish and evens out my skintone nicely. It has a good...

    This is a good product. I like that it doesn't have that shiny, greasy finish that so many tints have. It truly does dry to a matte finish. I have very fair skin, but not as fair as some, and...
