I bought this after a staff recommendation while shopping for a MAC cushion. It was quite pricey though. After oil cleansing and applying essence, I lightly applied just this oil stick on top. Amazingly, the deep dryness that used to come every evening has disappeared! The stick format makes it easy to apply, and it doesn't leave any stickiness on the face. When wearing makeup, it doesn't give a dewy look, but rather a subtle glow! I'd recommend this to anyone with dry skin who wants a lightweight skincare routine.
ConsMy lips still crack badly around the edges in fall and winter, even with daily exfoliation. This product didn't completely solve that issue for me!

I heard it gives a nice glow and makes your skin look beautiful when applied before makeup, so I decided to give it a try. I applied this before my foundation (I use Estée Lauder Futurist). It definitely applies more moisturizing than without it. However, the coverage decreases a bit, so if you layer more, the glow disappears. There's a slight emphasis on dead skin cells, and I noticed a tiny bit of darkening compared to not using it. Honestly, I felt this product is more suitable as a skincare item rather than a makeup base, which explains why it's in the skincare category. When I asked the MAC associate if I could apply it at night, she said 'Of course! It's an oil.' It's gentle, non-irritating, and has a subtle herbal scent. It feels nice and moisturizing when applied before bed. So, I prefer its skincare benefits over its function as a makeup base. While it does provide a glow, the downsides are the emphasis on dead skin cells, slightly reduced coverage compared to foundation alone, and a bit of darkening.
ConsThe downsides... well, I mentioned them above. I don't find the price particularly expensive - it's about average for department store brands. When doing makeup, you shouldn't apply too much - just the right amount. I regretted buying it at first, but when I use it as skincare, it doesn't feel tight and is okay. It's so-so for use during makeup application. Some people say it's good for touch-ups, but why can't it smooth out dead skin cells? It doesn't seem to do its job. It's not great as a base, and it's not great as skincare either.
