I have the Evening Light which is a little dark for my skin..the Day Light would have worked better. I mix this with a lighter foundation or top it up with a lighter powder if used as it is…but even if used on its own..it does not appear too dark and settles with the natural skin tone.

It has a very light floral kinda smell which I like..feels very very light on the skin..since its water based..I love that it feels so light..you never feel like you have anything on the skin..

I love their trademark half cylindrical and half flat the base bottle..it has a flip cap on top..with a small opening for the product to come out..

Pros:

1. Feels very light on skin.
2. Adjusts to the natural skin tone.
3. Since it is water based..it would suit all skin types.
4. Different and nice packaging.
5. Natural and Organic Ingredients.
6. Parabens and chemical free.
7. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
8. Has a light floral smell.

Cons:

1. Only three shades available.
2. Expensive.
3. Availability is an issue.

Overall I have no cons with the texture and formula..its one of the best Tinted Moisturisers I have tried..completely loved the water based formula..and light feel..but it sure is expensive for a TM..and availability is an issue too..

Rating:

Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Would love to..

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.

I have the shade 02 Sheer Rose in it. The other two shades are 01 Sheer Ivory and 03 Sheer Honey.

Conceals to minimize age spots
Gives a natural, “no makeup” finish
Available in 3 skin-blending shades(Sheer Ivory, Sheer Honey, Sheer Beige)

MRP- Rs.215/- for 30 ml

I don’t use a foundation. I just use this TM and finish it off with a pressed powder..and that is enough for me…evens out my skin tone and gives a nice look. I use my fingers to blend it in..one can also use a foundation brush for it…just take a pea sized amount and dot it on the face and blend it outwards using your fingers.

Pros :
1. Combines foundation and moisturiser. You need not use 2 separate products.
2. Has SPF 15 and protection from PA ++. So works as a sunscreen too for ppl who are fine with SPF 15.
3. Very small,cute, easy to carry bottle. Travel friendly.
4. Blends well..easy to use.
5. You just need a small pea sized amount..so a little goes a long way.
6. Gives light coverage and evens out skin tone.
7. An ideal daily wear option for working people.
8. I don’t have open pores problems but it has helped people with minimisation of pores a little bit.
9. Perfect for winters and people with dry skin.
10.Never broke me out..non comodogenic.
11.Stays well for 5-6 hours with a pressed powder..for humid climate.
12.Has a small nozzle at top..you can control the exact qty you want.

Cons:
1. Not suitable for people with oily skin as its a bit thick.
2. It wears off with sweat..so you need to set it with a pressed powder.
3. Very light coverage..those who need heavy coverage..its not for you..it wont hide blemishes or spots.
4. Only 3 shades and sheer rose and sheer ivory look very similar.

Overall rating- 4.5/5

Would I buy it again- Yes..for sure…I really like this.

Have you used this ? How would you compare this with the Biotique one those who have used both ?
