Been testing this for a couple months now and it's become my favorite FA-safe skin tint. It's similar to the Fenty Eaze Drops, but has a thinner consistency that I like. Lasts all day without drying out your skin. Plays well with other products. Love it.
Fungal acne safe! Girls I’m not joking when I say this but this is probably the best skin tint on the market!
