I'm still on the fence about this product.

I bought it because I read that it worked really well under the viral red cushion from the same brand, but ended up loving neither. They both made my skin feel and look more dry than usual (I'm more of a combi girl who usually needs to retouch with powder throughout the day).

It's a tone up product as advertised so that aspect didn't surprise me, but tan and darker skin girlies beware because I'm a MAC N1-N2 and I felt a bit like a ghost using this. I also didn't love the strong fragrance.

I will have to try it under different types of foundations in order to make up my mind, but for now it doesn't seem to look particularly good.
