(1) I use it on a weekend after slugging all day and I fiinnnallyy decide to go outside.
(2) I wear it under my makeup when I am working from home and need to get on zoom calls. I don't use this to reapply throughout the day. I use sun sticks instead.
Essentially, I think this is a great sunscreen when the event of the day isn't too high stakes. It is a mineral sunscreen that gets the job done.

Good choice of colors, but dried out my skin
First, the good: Unlike brands that offer only one "universal" tint that isn't actually a universal match, there a three shades, so you can get a good colour match for your skin. Also, it has a genuinely matte finish and won't make you look like a glazed donut all day.
Now, the bad: The cost of that matte finish is that it's drying, and it made my skin look even more dry than it actually was. My neck looked like an 80-year-old's. Re-applying throughout the day made the situation even worse, but switching to a spray SPF didn't make it any better. And re-applying with a sheer SPF made me look streaky.
In summary: Not a fan.
