I really wanted to love this product but it stings my eyes! The coverage is very full, I wish this was more of a light tint than a full-on face of makeup looking foundation. I feel like my skin can’t breathe when wearing it.
It finished beautifully on the skin and has good staying power all day, but unfortunately the niacinamide is crazy! My skin was itchy after I washed it off and I had red welts all over my face.
