I like this a lot! Surprisingly!

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...read more 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.

No Way

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!

Nice tinted moisturizer

If you are blessed with pretty skin (under 30 crowd) and just need a sheer color to perfect you, this is a good product that will give you some mousturization, a nice natural looking finish and a bit of sun protection. It is nice on the go casual product for casual days, post gym, after the beach, etc. I have very allergy prone, sensitive skin and had no issues with this. Everyone is different. You can test it for a couple of days on the inside of your elbow to see if you react.

Better than Laura Mercier

I prefer this over the LM TM. It's more moisturizing and gives a healthy glow. My big problem with it is that it's so hard to shake out of the tube. But at least it doesn't pour out.

Love It

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 us...read moree 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.

Great Tinted Moisturizer

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!!

Love it!

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.

Exactly what I was looking for.

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 th...read moreere 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. :)

Great Product

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.
