[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Very lightweight and super blend able was a little worried about the shade being darker because I have fair skin but because it’s so thin it blends out well into pale skin giving it a glow...My only issue is that shade M1 runs a bit dark on me as someone with fair skin, so I’d recommend fairer shades for those with a similar complexion.
