Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I have to admit some reservation when trying this product, at least at first. I haven't met many face tints that don't either look incredibly unnatural or prove hard to blend in (or both!). And honestly, I have never felt the real need to use one except possibly in summer months as a light substitute for foundation.

The color that came out of the tube? It scared me. It seemed awfully dark and bronze...I was nervous. But it actually did apply much more sheer than one would think. It also didn't look NEARLY as shimmery on my skin as I had anticipated, but was instead extremely subtle. Under a little bit of foundation, this actually did give my skin an extra "something"...a little more of a glow - not a shine, but a glow. I just looked like maybe I wasn't quite as pale as I actually am. Also, it doesn't look unnatural and glides onto skin smoothly.

I will say that you need to be sure to check very carefully after you apply this, looking at your hairline and edges of where you used it to make sure it is completely blended in. Otherwise you will likely have some obvious excess in certain spots.

This would probably not work well for those of you with a lot of acne, as the slight sheen may emphasize blemishes. It also only comes in one shade, which although incredibly sheer, may not be flattering on very fair skin tones (you may want to try their Healthy Glow Face Tint instead).

While I like this as an extra touch occasionally, I still don't think I'm the type that would use something like this every single day. It is nice under foundation, or if you want just a touch of color and don't like to wear a lot of makeup, this could be something for you.
