I started off with Natural 05 which unfortunately was a shade too dark for my pale skin. It did look a little orangey throughout the day so this wasn't great. I have prominent dark circles under my eyes which I try to cover up with concealer. When I first applied the product I noticed my bags were no longer visible. I was really impressed that it got to work so quickly and targeted a noticeable area on my face.
The product (which is a tinted gel) promises to re-hydrate your face and "repair and replenish thirsty skin." I noticed that this is the first product that I've used where my skin hasn't dried out and cracked up underneath my make up. The skin on my face looked like it was glowing and developed a shine throughout the day. Although it promises to re-hydrate your skin I don't want my skin to physically shine, but, it did visibly brighten my skin. It's quite a light weight gel formula with SPF 30 and felt quite cool when first applied to the face. It doesn't work particularly well as a foundation as I still had to use concealer to hide my spots. (I had hoped something that promises to rescue your complexion would conceal spots as well).
There's 10 shades available ranging from; pale yellowy colours to soft pinks and dark browns. Vanilla 02 seems to be the shade that matches my skin tone although I did feel slightly washed out with it so it's probably just a tad too light. I like that it gets to work quickly and targets problem areas but unfortunately the lack of coverage is an issue. Sadly, I don't think it will replace my current foundation. I persevered with this for a week and although my skin visibly brightened, it didn't target my spotty areas, scars or areas of visible discolouration (across my cheeks). Unfortunately, it can't perform miracles.
