Doesn't meet any expectation

I am a skincare junkie and I am staring to realize that I am very picky when it comes to makeup, but I can be flexible when it comes to natural products though there are basic standards. I expect my foundations to help my skin look better than before I put them on, at minimum. Unfortunately, The Goodness Glows Tinted Moisturizer by Burt's Bees hit absolutely none of my boxes.

To be fair, I tried applying this with my fingers, a brush and a sponge, none gave good results. The product is a cream that comes out of the tube in a blob that is not smooth, and it applies horribly. It smears all over, leaves streaks, does not absorb and does not set. Somehow it looked both patchy and semi-sheer at the same time, some areas looked ok, some areas had any imperfections highlighted to the highest degree. I did my skincare and gave it time to settle before trying this the first time. The second I just washed my face, dried it and didn't apply anything before trying this, both times I had the same problems and I have dry skin, not oily.

There is also a scent to it. I don't know why you need your tinted moisturizer to be scented, as scent is an irritant, but it's not a strong smell. However, it's not really pleasant either, like bitter green tea.

All in all, this tinted moisturizer is a complete no from me.

I received this product as part of a testing program from another company, but my opinions are my own.
