I tried a sample of this and really liked it. The sample was darker than what I normally would have ordered (I'm very fair-skinned) and I ended up going with that color (Nude) when I ordered it. I really don't like wearing foundation every day - I work from home and I can get away with being casual. (I wear Elta MD 46 Clear lotion most days.) But, for days when I want to feel more put together or for an outing, I wear this. It's not too make up-y and just enough moisture for my formally oily, now aging (almost 50) skin. This shade gives a little glow but it's not sparkly or shiny. Really like it and might get used to wearing it daily. Who knows?
I read about this tinted moisturizer in a magazine as being a favorite for a sheer glow with SPF. I find it light weight and sheer ...it is not a foundation but can be used when you want just a little coverage and SPF. It absorbs into the skin quickly with just a hint of coverage. Fair complexion and picked porcelain and it works.
