A soft blurring effect and a sheer tint are the details reviewers keep returning to, and several wear it alone. It does not conceal pimples, though, and a few found the texture gritty, possibly from a heat change in transit. Some people find the scent a bit funny, so for the smoothest finish, tap it in and let it settle as skin warms.
