I first found out about this product through my Birchbox subscription. They sent me a tiny sample size version of it (in a color that was wayy to dark for my skin) but I put a little on the back of my hand to test it out anyways. I was blown away when I tested it. It had the consistency of a mousse (so it was very lightweight) and it also had decent coverage. The tinted moisturizer dries to a natural matte finish (not like the super obvious finish that some powders give you).
(I took these pictures with flash so it might look a bit shiny but it's actually matte!) |
I also have a few acne scars around my mouth and this product does a pretty good job in minimizing the appearance of them. (This is not a full coverage product so don't expect it to completely cover your scars.) But this product does make the scars less noticeable to the point where you almost don't see the scars unless you are less than a foot away from my face. I tend to go for a natural-coverage foundation so I don't mind a slighttttttt scar peeping through.
This product does an ok job in keeping your face matte (mind you, I'm SUPERRRR oily) but I'm fine with blotting ~every 3-4 hours since I have to do that no matter what product I use. I wouldn't recommend this for someone with dry skin but if you have normal-combination skin, go for it!
I purchased mine from eBay for ~$25 instead of the retail price of $38. I never thought about buying it on eBay until I read it in a comment on MakeupAlley. I'm pretty sure I got an authentic foundation because I did not break out from this and it feels just like the sample version I got from Birchbox.
Overall, I would definitely recommend you buy this product if you are looking for something that stays on your face all day, feels lightweight, and is light-medium coverage. Not sure if I would buy it for $38 but at $25, it is definitely worth it!
