Additional Information: I tried this product in Mocha and Espresso and they both look exactly the same on my skintone.
My Thoughts:
This is a very sheer tinted moisturizer. If you are looking for a pigmented tinted moisturizer then keep looking. When I swatched this product, it looked like it was nicely pigmented. When I applied it, I could see that it had almost no pigmentation. This product provides almost no coverage, and it does the minimum at evening out my skintone. When set with a setting powder you get a nice natural finish.
Conclusion:
This is not a bad product for someone looking to look a little more polished than wearing nothing at all. This is not my favorite tinted moisturizer and it's not even on the must have list. I would wear this product when I am just looking to even out my skin tone a bit. I would not repurchase this item because I can make a better tinted moisturizer from the products that I already own.
