This is perfect subtle base for fair to light skintones. It brightens the skin and offers sheer coverage. It also evens out darker areas like elbows and knees. The key ingredient is niacinamide, which actually has solid skincare benefits such as skin brightening, balancing oil production and strengthening the skin barrier. The non-sticky, velvet matte finish helps you stay comfortable with a mask on.
I'm usually not a big tone up cream person but the skincare benefit and finish of this one is so handy for quick makeup looks.
The downside is, this cream may look ashy on deeper skintones. If you have severely dry skin, it may also accentuate dry patches. I have a light-medium skintone and combination skin so it's not a big issue for me.
