I like this a lot! Surprisingly!
volta (516 reviews)

I've been on the hunt for a good tinted moisturizer that didn't feel heavy or uncomfortable on my face. Will all due respect and no offense meant to everyone, but I normally HATE Stila products. This is possibly the only product under the entire Stila brand that I like. It looks very natural, it didn't feel greasy on my skin and it gave me an even complexion. Naturally it's only sheer coverage and I definitely do not have perfect skin, so I save this for days when I'm reeeeally feeling lazy and don't want to conduct my normal make up routine. I honestly never had a problem with it feeling greasy on my skin, and unlike other tinted "moisturizers" that made my skin feel even drier, this actually felt comfortable on my skin and didn't make it feel dry. By no means does it hydrate like my normal moisturizer, but I don't have to worry about my skin suddenly feeling tight or looking flakey. The thing that irks me is obviously the price--$34 is too much for small tube that probably won't last for two months (if you use it every day). I've tried many tinted moisturizers and this is one of my favorites, but unfortunately due to the price, it is definitely NOT my favorite. Another tip, if you think your face looks too shiny (like most tinted moisturizers with SPF tend to do), just finish it with some translucent powder for a shine-free finish. — 4 months, 1 week ago

No Way
Bon_Bon (454 reviews)

I Do NOT have sensitive skin, my skin has always been able to take any kind of product, you could pour acid on my skin and I wouldn't even so much as get red... but THIS STUFF?? What is it made out of Lye?? Terrible, burned, have me acne that didn't go away for a good week, it's the worst product I've ever tried! — 2 years, 7 months ago

Love It
Feline44mom (192 reviews)

I have been using this for a couple of years now & I really like it. Yes, it doesn't offer a lot of coverage but that is one of the reasons I like it so much. I am not a fan of heavy foundations so this is perfect for me. It provides decent moisurization but I do use a moisturizer underneath. The spf could be a little higher in my opinion but that's not such a big deal for me either since I use a sunscreen with my moisturizer underneath. And one of the best parts for me is I buy this at Nordstrom rack at half the price it sells for regularly. — 4 months, 1 week ago

Great Tinted Moisturizer
lanigaga (111 reviews)

My mom had bought some of this at Sephora, except she bought a shade too light. I, unlike my mom, am very fair skinned. And I burn very easily. I had used only one tinted moisturizer in the past, Aveenos, and to be honest, I wasn't really impressed. This one had sheer coverage, and great moisturization!! I would have liked it more though if it had more coverage, since I have some acne scars I'd like to coverup without concelor. But overall, great product!! — 10 months, 2 weeks ago

Love it!
Leavemealone (1 reviews)

Love this product! Perfect amount of sheer color tint - and comes in a shade light enough to accommodate my very fair skin. While I would normally steer clear of a full face product with shimmer, the light reflecting particles in this really illuminate my face without making it look oily. — 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Exactly what I was looking for.
FlyGirl24 (2 reviews)

This tinted moisturizer gave me a smooth, natural finish. It evened out my skin tone, but because of the sheer coverage, it didn't look chalky over my freckles. My skin feels moisturized and looks great. I would still wear true sunscreen in addition to this product if I expected to spend a great deal of time in the sun, but the SPF 20 is still a nice touch. Also, it's important to note that there is no harsh fragrance associated with this tinted moisturizer. The only qualm I have is that, because I'm in Canada, the price is $44.00 instead of the $34.00 price that is advertised on the internet. I would love it even more if it was $10 less expensive here, too. :) — 7 months, 1 week ago

Great Product
Mally05 (21 reviews)

I got a makeover at Sephora using Stila products, including this one and I think it is worth a buy! I have fair skin and burn easily, so this is a great product to use when out in the sun. It is sheer and doesn't feel like I'm wearing a lot. I also like that it is easy to apply; I can use my fingers or a sponge. — 1 year, 7 months ago

a lot more than I expected
ayeshai (18 reviews)

Okay, so I picked this up on a whim while browsing through Ulta with average expectations. Having Indian heritage, it's really hard for me to find a foundation that doesn't make me look pasty or just have that streaky, powdery, and heavy look that foundation gives me while at the same time providing coverage and matching my skin tone. Although the formula is a bit thick, a little really goes a long way while evening out my skin tone and texture and it feels super light. the coverage is decent for me and makes my skin glow. overall I would definantly buy this stuff again :) — 1 year, 11 months ago

It COULD be way better!
kcaption (14 reviews)

I got the sample version of this as a Stila kit and I liked it at first but recently I have found it to be sticky and thick and it doesnt go on too smoothly either. When i put it on i can deffinatley see that i'm wearing SOMETHING and thats NOT the look i want! Stila could do better... — 1 year, 11 months ago
