Nothing keeps my make up in place like this product. If Stila will ever discontinue this product, I will be very sad. Makes my face look dewy and fresh, with a subtle glow and keeps my skin matte all day. The best ever for me!

It does have rather a thick consistency, however, it is called beauty 'balm' so definitely feels thicker than any CC or BB creams. It does brighten up the face loads and helps with lines and circles. It suits my medium complexion. I have normal to dry skin so the amount of coverage is perfect for me, gives the no makeup make up look. It did gather around where my nostrils meet my face, and it clings to face hair a little. I have slightly large pores and it does not hide this brilliantly. Also if you have any slight scabs or spots it sits unpleasantly on them making them look a bit crusty. I would always apply moisturiser before using this product. It stayed on beautifully all night though, very pleased overall.

It's supposed to be oil-free, but it feels quite heavy, almost sticky on my skin and leaves me very shiny. But admittedly, I have oily skin, so I'm sure it may look beautiful on drier skins.

I'm using this for a week now and have to say, it doesn't live up to my expectations. I was really looking forward to this product but now I feel like it doesn't do anything at all for me. I can't even tell a difference when adding this to my routine. Also, I feel like I need quite a lot of product to cover my whole face...Three stars still because at least it doesn't make me break out, like a lot of other products do...

Totally agree with Gemma. Have bad skin, this product works. Wish I had discovered it years ago. Feels and looks stunning. Will never be without this ever. Thank you Stila .
