Beautiful finish, lightweight but still moisturizing and hydrating enough for dry skin. I feel like it has helped brighten my complexion. i love that it has a little tack since 1. its doesn’t feel like its sliding off my face in the humidity and stays all day and 2. it works great as a primer for makeup to stick to and last all day

#great value
