wet n wild Bare Focus Tinted Hydrator Matte Finish, Light Medium, Oil-Free, Moisturizing Makeup | Hyaluronic Acid | Sheer To Medium Coverage

Tldr: awesome product, does what it should. Provides very good coverage. Doesn't pill, is very light if used in the right quantity. If you can match your skin color, it looks extremely natural with a slight sheen. Covers redness really well.Long version: it has taken me over 1.5 years to write this review. And that's because when I originally got it, my skin was pretty flawless. I wanted to try a foundation anyway, but weirdly it felt a little goopy, as if it wasn't letting my skin breath. In hindsight, it was because I was using way more than needed and secondly, my skin was not used to anything other than moisturizer being put on. Fast forward to a year later and my skin absolutely went berserk from the use of a new sunscreen (possibly). New acne everyday, tons of closed comedones and consequent angry red postules and post-inflamatory hyperpigmentation. I was absolutely out of ideas on how to make my skin look even presentable. That's when I wanted to give this old tube a try again. And damn I was surprised! It went on so smoothly, was absorbed almost instantly. Just a little went a very long way to hide all the marks and even the textural irregularities. I soon learnt that you really only need a few drops for it to work it's charm and it became a staple for me everytime I stepped out of the house. It goes well over or under sunscreen and although it didn't make my skin look as original as it used to, it made it go from absolutely horrendous to about 90% of what it used to be. I'm still using it and cannot recommend it more.

I love this! I've been looking for a tinted moisturizer for a while but there's so many options and I didn't know which one to choose. I saw some reviews for this saying it was good, and I figured I would start here since the price is so low even though that made me a little skeptical. This works great! I am pretty pale so I ordered the lightest shade, I would say it is a good match maybe very slightly darker than me. The coverage is pretty high for a tinted moisturizer in my opinion. The first time I used this I used way too much product, the less you use of this the better it will look. I blend just a little in with my fingers and it looks very natural. I have combo skin and it seemed to wear well throughout the day. I also love the price point, this product works so well I don't feel like I need to go try more higher end tinted moisturizers.

I used this for the first time today. This Tinted Hydrator has a weird smell and is a little thick/sticky but it has great coverage. I've been looking for a tinted hydrator that actually evens out my skin tone and doesn't make my skin look greasy and this definitely fits the bill although I'm not sure how hydrating it is. I think if I use a light moisturizer and slightly less product next time it will be perfect. I think I used a tad too much. For the price it's definitely something I'd buy again.UPDATE: Okay, so I used this again today (Easter Sunday) and while I still think it has a strange smell, I highly recommend it. The smell does go away (unlike with some other products where the odor seems to linger). It's not as sticky as I originally stated above. This time I used the Ole Henrikson Banana corrector stick first under my eyes and on my cheeks then used a small amount of this tinted hydrator on top. It went on smoothly and dried down very nicely. I spritzed a little e.l.f. hydrating primer on top and I'm very pleased. My skin looks dewy but not greasy. I would definitely purchase this again.

I have seborrheic dermatitis and I've been having a rough time sourcing products, but as soon as I started looking for "fungal acne safe" skin care and makeup, a new world of product research opened up. All Malassezia related skin conditions have similar triggers; where individual skin needs differs from there, I'm still learning, but I knew I needed fungal safe items. I also have noticeable rosacea, redness and dark circles. I'm 40; my skin is still fairly plump and I don't have a lot of lines (I'm an indoor girl), but I am heading into maturing skin.I bought both Fair and Light/Medium because sight unseen, they both looked like they had cool to neutral undertones. You never can tell from a computer screen, but the combo of the two looks perfect on me. For reference, I wear Cl---que Stay Matte CN-20, Fair. This provided similar results, albeit a slightly dewier finish. This doesn't look greasy or shiny to me, though. But if you're used to a true Matte result, it's not that.I need to get some sponges, so I applied this using only my hands - I spread it out and then sort of stippled it with my fingers at the end. I couldn't believe how smooth and nice it appeared. And the price!!! My aforementioned product was forty doll-hairs. Ouch. I could get used to this.I am so impressed by the coverage of this. Keep in mind I just started wearing makeup again after several years of hiatus; I have never liked absolute coverage, so I don't have those requirements, but once upon a time I did the whole smoky eye, glitters and wing liner thing. These days I just don't want to look so blotchy. My old formulas were starting to look dull and chalky on me - I used to just dot concealer where I needed but more recently that's way too dry looking and patchy. Plus trying to get it to spread is just a nightmare. I went for this after watching another lady's video and she said it evened out redness really well.Re: skin conditions - I feel just a slight bit of that "itch tingle" that I get with almost any makeup application, but it's not bad. I think my skin is also not used to having anything on it, and I've been exfoliating a lot more lately.
