Nice to spread with both brush and sponge. I skip primer when I use this, as it is skincare. I use a good day cream.
I have mature skin, with small lines here and there, and the skin is dry.
I think I need to spend a little time working the balm into the skin. But when I’m done, the result is very positive.
It sits beautifully on the skin, and I think it has a blurring effect on wrinkles. It also doesn’t settle into wrinkles after a full day. It stays well and doesn’t emphasize dry areas.
It reminds me of IT’s good CC cream, but it sits lighter and with a bit less coverage.
It’s my favorite for daily light makeup, when I go for “next to nothing.”
The balm works well with both cream makeup and powder makeup.
I also tried it on young skin that had some red spots and blemishes. It sits incredibly nicely, but doesn’t cover enough, so we went for spot coverage with concealer in addition. The result was great!
But even just the balm gives a cleaner and fresher look.
Without powder, this has just the right light diffusion without becoming too shiny.
It doesn’t oxidize.
This balm isn’t as economical as I would wish.
But I feel it’s worth the price.
And I will buy it again when it’s empty.
Good hairspray. Nice nozzle that spreads the spray well. Does not leave a coating in the hair, easy to remove. Neutral scent.
Holds well all day*.
(*haven't tried it in very humid weather yet...)
Beautiful color; translucent. Slightly sticky, but okay. I find the product difficult to apply evenly on the lips. I would have preferred if the product could be applied like a regular lip gloss, but with a good sponge/brush.
