A perfect tinted moisturizer for them whose shade matches their skin; makeup blends well on top.

Nice but made them look like a pearl, so it is not their favorite.

Very glowy, good under flat makeup, though intense when first applied.

Too glowy on dry skin; fine under foundation but a bit much alone and the shade a bit dark, and it bothered their eyes.

Finds it very shimmery with an all-day glow, less drying than mineral sunscreens, worn alone and under makeup.

After a week, loves how light it is and that it has not broken them out, but finds it pricey for the amount.
“I’ve been using this for about a week. I love how light it is, and it hasn’t broken me out like most sunscreens. I just think it’s a little expensive for the amount you get.”

“I love this as a primer that I put over my puritto. It works great with makeup if you want a glow. I have not had an issue with eyes burning.”
Mixed feelings: accentuates volume loss near smile lines and was too dark in winter but works with a tan; prefers Unseen.
“I feel like it accentuates the volume loss near my smile lines, but it could also just be my face. It was a tad too dark for me in winter but now that I've gotten outside it works.”
