![]() I'm not sure what it is, but I do NOT recommend this product at all. But, the minute I came back and put it on my face, the acne came back almost immediately. The acne was subsiding and I was regaining confidence again. ![]() I didn't know it was this product that was breaking me out until I went on vacation for a week and didn't wear makeup. It was extremely painful and was making me lose confidence in myself. I wasn't developing white heads, but hormonal and cystic acne. However, after using it for about 2 months, I was breaking out so much on the sides of my face, jaw line, neck, and chin. I also really liked the packaging for the entire Pretty Fresh line, which is what initially drew me to it. It would be heartbreaking to have to start all over again.I do not recommend.I was so happy to have found a tinted moisturizer and concealer that matched my skin tone perfectly. This is my new go-to that I'll be stocking up on and I hope ColourPop never discontinues this. The color match isn't 10000% perfect because I sort of guessed in the dim aisle but honestly it's like a half-fraction of a shade off and you really cannot tell unless you're in some high powered vanity lighting (I can't even tell in natural light). ![]() It also doesn't settle into my laugh lines at all. This feels and looks absolutely weightless, genuinely like a second skin. The oily is still there of course because, you know, our bodies work that way, but the oil-slick ice rink SHINE is nowhere to be seen and I don't feel any of it sitting on my face like I do other products. A brush leaves a weird finish and finger application grosses me out. I apply it with a damp beauty blender over a washed and well moisturized based - with or without any mattifying primers - and it keeps my skin tone even and my oiliness TRULY at bay for 10+ hours. I feel like my frustrations of spending years and years finding a product that ticks even 90% of my makeup needs boxes has finally been alleviated. I found a shade that somewhat closely matched my skin tone in the always-bad lighting of those aisles, and have been wearing it almost daily for 2 weeks now. Then I stumbled across this product in Ulta looking for something else entirely but decided to give this a shot because A.) moisturizer B.) shade range C.) pretty packaging! I didn't want heavy or full-coverage foundation - I just wanted something to even out my skin tone and I'd take care of the blemishes via concealer. I'd use pH neutral face wash, serum, gel-based hydrating moisturizer, mattifying primer, and long-lasting mattifying foundation (or similar product), finishing off with a mattifying setting spray while chugging water all day to stay hydrated and I'd STILL be blotting by hours 4-6. If a product matches my undertone it doesn't keep my oiliness at bay more than a few hours if it keeps my oil at bay a little longer then it doesn't match my undertone. Finding face products - liquids, powders, creams, serums, anything - has always been a chore. I am 33 nearing 34 and have always had very very oily skin and difficult to match undertones (light olive, slightly neutral leaning yellow). Holy cow this product is amazingIf this product ever stops being sold I'm just going to give up makeup entirely.
