I use this as foundation for when I get spray tans and it works perfectly! The product is lightweight but still has a full coverage effect. ...I really do like this BB primer. it made my first really smooth. however, I did get a slight breakout near my chin. i think all primers do that to me. my only negative is the color choices. I bought the med-tan, too light...then exchange for tan...too dark...so ill just stick to the tan because i rather my face look tan than like a ghost.
