A white cream that contains the pigment.

As it blends out.

What I think:

A lovely moisturising white cream that contains small dots of pigment that disperse into the skin as the product is rubbed in/applied. It gives a fresh/moist finish to the skin, it blends very easily and definitely imparts a warmer and healthy glow. It feels like skincare with pigment and for a skin that is balanced you probably won't need a moisturiser underneath. It gives a lighter coverage so is very much like a 2nd skin. It has a dewy finish. My skin because of (what feels like) the eternal winter of discontent has been definitely drier than normal and in need of extra TLC and this was a lovely finish and texture. Barely there. I would say this was for: Dry/Normal and a very lightly combination skin.

Pros:

Very much skincare with colour

A fresh/dewy finish

Blends seamlessly into the skin

Evens skintone

Very flattering 

Did not irritate my skin at all

A fab all-in-one base

No flashback

Excellent quality for the price point.

Cons:

For some a con- not oil free

For some- not a matte finish

Definitely comes up a little *warmer* than expected so look at the shade down as well (in case).

Limited shades for deeper skins

Concealer would be necessary for areas needing a little extra coverage.

No sunscreen

The finished result, healthy glowing skin. Definitely a little *warmer* than other medium shades.

* This was kindly sent for me to test which I did and I genuinely was very impressed. Not an afilliate just a fan.
