Anyhow let's get in to the actual review!
Breakdown:
Packaging: It comes in a squeeze tube and you can see the color of the product inside of the tube. I'm on the fence with whether or not I like this packaging. When I first opened it, it kind of spilled all over the place, but that could be because in the store they hang the product up. When I use it now it's okay, because it's not that liquidy.
Product: I live in the desert and it can get up to 115 degrees during the summer, but the past couple of days/weeks it's been in the high 80s and low 90s and this product is perfect for me during this time of the year. I was worried that it might make me too greasy because I apply it on top of my moisturizer and I set it with my e.l.f. pressed powder. I do notice that my nose gets pretty shiny, but other than that my oil stays pretty controlled. This product isn't really thick and it isn't watery either. It's a good mix in the sense that I can put it on the back of my hand and I don't have to worry about it running all over the place or leaking out of the tube, and at the same time it isn't too thick like one of the whipped foundations.
Finish: It has a slight dewy finish to it, and even when I set it with a pressed powder it's still lightly dewy, but it's nothing too heavy. It's extremely breathe-able and it soaks right into my skin.
Color Range: There are 7 colors for this specific line and even though it's 7 colors, it's a better range than you'll find for most foundations. There's two darker shades for the darker beauties out there and two really light shades for the light light beauties out there. There is a slight orange/yellow undertone to it which compliments my natural yellow undertone nicely. If you're worried about this particular color having too much of an orange undertone, don't worry because it won't be extremely noticeable once blended (especially if you picked the correct shade).
Longevity: For a tinted moisturizer it lasts for a decent amount of time. At the end of the day there's still some left (I can tell when I look on my makeup removing cloth). Even during a 12 hour day I can see some product on my makeup wipe. It still has the same finish and my oil isn't out of control.
Overall:
I really enjoy this product. It's great for Spring/Summer because my skin can still breathe and it doesn't feel too heavy or uncomfortable and I don't have to worry about my foundation sweating off. It's extremely light weight and evens out my skin tone without piling on to many products. All I need to do is add light concealer (my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind-Dark Circle Eraser) and set it and I'm good to go! Be aware that it does smell like a sunscreen, but it isn't overwhelming and eventually fades away.
If you're looking for a light product that evens out your skin, then you'd enjoy this product. I have combo skin and I don't have a problem with break outs or becoming too oily at the end of the day, but you may want to be aware of that. Don't look for it to cover a lot of your discolorations (like redness around your nose or dark circles), but it just slightly evens it out and leaves your skin looking natural and breathe-able.
