1 of 1, #1, She’s the Only One

This is my favourite complexion product right now. And a black woman made it mmkay? I mean nuff said. But it makes me look so natural. Skin is skinning. Oil production is kept mostly at bay and whatever does accumulate at the end of the day adds to the glow. I have it in clear which goes well under other foundations. Heck you can even layer foundation on top of the the regular ones. Paid for it with my own money cause you know most of these incentivized reviews are suspect. And it was worth...

Spend time finding the best fit for you!

I repeat: You must spend time with this product to find its best fit for you!!!! My t-zone generates enough oil to moisturize a small village so when I heard what was promised from this balm I was way more hopeful than skeptical and it did not disappoint! Day 1 I applied it over my serum and moisturizer using my fingers, then used a brush to even it out. First it was simply balmy. By the time I did my eyes and brows it was actually TOO matte. By the time I was fully dressed it had settled...

Disappointed —makes large pores look worse!

I was so excited to try this after seeing and reading the great reviews, but it settled into every pore making them even MORE noticeable, rather than blurring them.

It’s “Chefs KISS”

FINALLY! A foundation that does what it says it’s going to do. I apply it with a wet sponge and that coverage is perfect each time. I don’t worry about it easily transferring to my clothes, hallelujah! To make thing even better I have NO SHINE… I have oily skin and have tried all the high end to low end brands to make my skin look matte and nothing worked until NOW! I have slept in this makeup and my face still looks good. I have recommended to everyone I know.

Buy it!

Makes my skin look flawless. I don’t know much about makeup but every time I wear this I get compliments on my skin. Perfect for everyday use.

changed my makeup routine forever!

i had to write another review just so I could add photos but this has seriously changed my makeup routine. when I first used it, I liked it but didn't use it much. now, I'm OBSESSED! i no longer feel like I need to wear foundation because this gives me the perfect coverage I need without feeling heavy. i even wore this on a hot day in Argentina with NO PRIMER and it was still flawless after 6 hours which usually I would be shiny in 2-3 hrs (first photo is application, second is after 6-7...

Not for skin with ANY dryness.

I was hoping to love this product after the hype, but all it did was show every pore and highlight ANY bit of dryness on my face despite moisturizing. Tried multiple different moisturizers, still stuck and showed all bit of dryness. Not remotely blurring at all, actually quite the opposite.

MAGIC in a jar!!!

I have finally found the answer to my oily skin! I have the kind of skin that starts producing oil an hour after my makeup application even with mattifying primers, translucent powder to set AND a mattifying setting spray. I’m now going on 4 hrs and my face is completely matte! I’ve seen other people say that they use this as a primer under their foundation but I used it as THE foundation and it’s total perfection. Buildable coverage so you can either go for the ‘no makeup’ look or a full...

Danessa can do better.

For every youtuber that said this was good: I hate you. This...is...a...gimmick. I can feel the powder granules in it just by rubbing it between my fingers. If you layer it, it needs powdering..there is no coverage unless you build it up...At this point, I've spent about 400 bucks on Danessa's products and I just feel like she going down the Colour Pop rabbit hole of just throwing out stuff every few weeks. This is not a primer. It's not a foundation. Its a light cream powder that looks...

Wow, what a product! A little goes a long way for coverage and it's so easy to use. I tend to have normal-dry skin, so the matte formula does show the dry flakes on my skin. I'll probably use this product to blur certain areas, like my pores.

NOT for dry skin. Medium-neutral undertones

Keeping, but not loving it. For reference; I have mature, dry menopausal skin & sadly, this is not the product. I do, however, love the blurring effect & easy application via a brush. I need to apply several layers of moisturizer, a moisturizer spray, and then more moisturizer before applying the product. Then, more moisturizing spray (several layers of spray needed) once product applied. Once on, it looks beautiful. I can't imagine wearing foundation on top (per instructions) because the...

I love this product. It works well as a primer and helps blur and control my oiliness.
