"Just right" Coverage - This is a winner!
This product is WONDERFUL! I’ve been searching forever for a foundation-type product and have accumulated too much makeup because I keep learning of something new/different that looks/sounds promising only to be utterly disappointed with how it looks on me. My bare face is sickly pale and washed out, but every foundation-type product I’ve tried ends up looking cakey and/or artificial on me, and as I’m getting older (now in my 40s), I’m having trouble with makeup leaving me looking dried out. NOT the case with this Loreal Tinted Serum! This is EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting for so long. This tint offers just the right amount of coverage, (just slightly more than sheer), to give my face a polished, healthy glow while still being sheer enough and close enough to my coloring to look natural (a no-makeup makeup look). Maybe it’s the hyaluronic acid, but it seems quite moisturizing (it really feels more like I’m applying skincare rather than makeup but it obviously is both – such a win-win!). I generally apply a light moisturizer first, but I’m not sure I’d have to - it depends how dry your skin is. It wears beautifully for at least 10-12 hours, looking to me basically the same as when I first applied it without creasing or looking cakey. It doesn’t settle into (emphasize) my fine lines, but rather has a slight softening/blurring effect. Also, it’s super easy, quick and fail-proof to apply – huge wins for my busy life. In 2 minutes, I can apply this and some lipstick and feel fully confident no matter where my day takes me. Or when I have time for a full face of makeup, it’s the perfect foundation. Having only been using it a few weeks, I can’t say for sure how long a bottle lasts, but it seems to go a long way – a few drops on each section of my face is aplenty. I can’t say enough good about this – I’m in love! Only two cautionary notes I’d offer – 1) it IS relatively thin coverage, so it doesn’t conceal dark spots or blemishes completely – if I have a noticeable acne blemish or something, I still need some concealer to fully cover it. 2) Other reviewers mentioned it being messy, and I can see that’s a possible drawback because it’s liquidy and the way the screw lid/dispenser works, it can easily get all over the bottle, etc if you’re not careful – I just make sure to draw the dispenser out & put it back in very slowly as to not smudge it all over the bottle rim. Conclusion: Unless you want or need a heavier/thicker foundation, I can’t imagine anyone not being as thrilled with this tinted serum as I am, especially for non-youthful skin that tends dryer with fine lines.
