DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
Unfortunately, I agree with the negative reviews on this product. I buy makeup like crazy from Ulta and I received 40% off with my discount from Urban Decay, and this wasn't even worth the discounted price. First of all, the fact that UD decided to do this in one " universal" shade is downright baffling. I'm an NC15, so very fair, and this made me amusingly orange. I read a few reviews from girls that said they are NC/NW15 and this really worked for them, so I hoped it would work for me, but not even close. I doubt it worked for them either, my guess is they are going around cluelessly orange. I won't be keeping this to use on clients, as it is very drying, smells oddly chemically minty, which I doubt my brides would enjoy, and the "optical blurring" claims are a bunch of crap. My pores and fine lines weren't minimized at all, and I actually have good skin, I just need some evening out, which this didn't even accomplish in the slightest. As a primer, this neither extended the life of, nor improved the look of my makeup. As I said, this was quite drying on my normal to dry skin and felt heavily of silicones, which I don't necessarily mind, but there was no creaminess or balmy type of hydrating texture, just straight silicones, so it feels really velvety, just not moisturizing, if that makes sense. I talked to an Urban Decay rep on the phone when I called to check on my order, and she raved about how awesome this is and said very pale people could definitely use this, which got my hopes up a bit, but she was def wrong to say the least. I'm sick of American bb creams, they generally suck. Although, I do like a few, such as Bobbi Brown's. Korean bb's are my fav tho, they are amazing, especially skin 79's offerings. All in all, this might work for light/medium to medium toned oily skin as a tinted primer, as I could envision it being very mattifying on such skin types. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone looking for a good skin perfector, tinted moisturizer, and certainly not to anyone who wants a good bb cream. This isn't a balm or a cream whatsoever. Big fail for me, I will end up returning this or selling it to someone else who wants to try it. — 2 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Don't Be Scared!! It's FAB!!!
When I first saw it out of the tube, it was a weird orangey color. Don't be scared!! It melted right into my very fair skin and gave me the lightest bit of coverage. Weightless and felt like nothing on my skin. Love Love Love It!! It is a bit on the pricey side though. — 2 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Underwhelming
This was a disappointment. The coverage was nonexistent, the consistency was thick and it was very greasy. I ended up having to put powder over it to give me at least some coverage. I threw it in the drawer with all the other products I'll never use again. Frankly, L'Oreal's BB Cream is 100x better than this for a fraction of the cost. — 2 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
