maybe for you, but not for me

I bought this off of Hautelook when they were having a huge the balm sale. I thought it'd be nice to use instead of my laura mercier tinted moisturizer. to compare the to they are both very different from each other. I did not like the balm's tinted moisturizer because it felt SUPER heavy and it didn't feel like moisturizer. When applied it did but I kept feeling that greasy oily'ness. I felt like I had foundation on my face to the point that I didn't want to rub or touch my face because I thought product would plop off it.

Coverage wise this is not for those of you out there who want full coverage. This does nothing to reduce any redness for me. It doesn't cover anything. It's just like a layer of color of your own skin, but does not help hiding blemishes or evening out your skin tone.

The color range isn't that great, because I bought this towards the end of winter and it was too dark for me then, but when summer came around (I'm usually a MAC NC35 during summer and NC30 for winter) it was slightly too light to wear, but bronzer can always help with that.
