$35 CAD at Shopper's Drug Mart, Canada.

SPF: 15

My skin is very light, I used the shade "Luminous" which is the lightest shade.

The product is extremely sheer but does have some coverage. It is "your skin but better". It can feel a bit greasy, so I use a loose powder over it to set it properly.

It has vitamins C & E in it, and although I didn't buy it for this, I do notice that after using this for the past 3 weeks or so, my skin looks great and there haven't been any other changes to my skincare routine.

It is oil, paraben and fragrance free, but although it is marketed as giving a matte finish, don't believe it - the finish is quite dewy.

In my opinion, this is a slightly thinner, slightly sheerer version of Laura MErcier's tinted moisturizer.

I do like it a lot and will most certainly repurchase.

thanks for the review! I was wondering how it was. I saw on the MUA board that some ppl are applying MAC MSFNatural powder over it for a luminous finish too. I gotta try it!

Hi violet, do u have the ingredients for the TM? I guess it contains silicones in it too? Since it's very sheer, I believe concealer is still needed? Does it smooth out pores too? Thanks! Very Happy

So, it looks to have some cones for sure.

As far as concealer - yes, I did need some during a minor breakout last week.

For pores, my pores are very large and this does a great job of covering them up
