i like this, but i can't use it on my entire face because it looks like i dropped a shimmer bomb on myself, too shiny for me! so i tend it use it to highlight under lose powder on those days that i'm looking for a glow but don't want to wear any make up....It adds another layer of moisture while perking up my complexion. The shine isn't over the top, it's totally fine to wear by itself but I generally layer it under BB cream- it feels like a good level of everyday glow for me.
