  Pros

  ...covers well covers well covers well covers well covers we

  Cons

  It pills, looks patchy, dries out my skin, and even when I mix in a drop of oil, it still looks cakey and feels rough. It's just not compatible with my skin at all

  Tip

  Toss it

  The good points...? It matches my skin tone well... That's about it. Honestly, I'm just glad I bought it on sale. Otherwise, I would've spent $40 on pretty garbage. Oh, one more good thing - the case is cute. And it made me appreciate my usual BB cream even more!

  Cons

  I want to rant, but I'll keep it brief: 1. Extreme pilling Whether I'm touching up or applying fresh makeup in the morning, it just pills. Like. Crazy. Adherence? Absolutely zero. 2. Blemishes start appearing I've never had skin issues from changing products before. My skin usually tolerates anything. Even dermatologists have told me I'm blessed with skin that's not easily affected by UV or cosmetics. But Verite? This pretty garbage? I was seduced by the pink packaging, but hey, 'Magic Essence'? The only magic it showed was conjuring tiny bumps on my steel-like face. 3. Coverage approaches zero It's just... like... a base... Only evens skin tone... Concealing? Nonexistent... 4. Ridiculously overpriced I can't believe this pretty garbage costs $40 including refill. While I got it cheaper during a Watson's sale, it's still the first time I've felt like I've wasted money on actual trash!

  Pros

  Great for dry weather and gives a subtle glow. I'd recommend this more for dry skin types rather than oily skin.

  Cons

  There's a bit of caking, and the included puff isn't great... If you don't pat it in enough, it can look patchy.

  Tip

  I'd suggest using a brush instead of the included puff, then pressing it in with a sponge for better adherence.

  Pros

  I use this instead of BB cream after sunscreen, and it has great coverage. The texture is like a mix of essence and foundation.

  Cons

  It tends to look cakey when used for touch-ups. The more you apply, the more it separates, so you need to pat it in gently a few times. As someone with combination skin, it looks patchy around my mouth and eyes, so I only lightly reapply it on my cheeks when touching up. Not recommended for dry skin types.

  Tip

  Use it sparingly as a base layer for coverage. Avoid reapplying multiple times as it can emphasize dead skin cells.
