This is one of those "too good to be true" products. I saw this advertised on tv (this was back when it was first released) and it sounded like the best all in one product. Sadly this product did not work for me. I got the second shade the darker shade, and which is far too dark for my skin tone. I have light, olive toned skin and i should've bought the light shade instead. I find this makes my skin look really orange and too bronzed. I wouldn't even use this as a bronzer as its way too dark even when you use it lightly.
It's meant to be suitable for all skin tones and the more you build it up the darker it gets and the more coverage you get. However the more product I applied the more orange it became. It does go darker too but the coverage doesn't build up. I also found it hard to apply as it was blotchy.
I have acne and red acne scars and despite the ads and the claims this product has at evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of redness and scars, this powder didn't cover my scars and redness.
Overall I didn't like this product and I will not be repurchasing. I wouldn't recommend this product either.
Overall I would say that this is a great all-in-one bronzer. Thankfully I already have olive skin-tone so there is no need for me to go crazy on the bronzer so I use this as a contour.
I do own the Lancome Subtil contour and highlight pack, however, when on a busy day I find that with this I can simply use it for a bronzer, contour and eye colour- all with the same brush that it comes with.
It does wear-off easily around areas where I haven't deeply contoured. However, it is quick and easily to use.
As a bonus it lasts for a very long time. Mine lasted forever!
Tips: Don't need much, but for a deep long-lasting contour you do have to have a lot of product on your brush. At least that's how it worked for me! But do keep in mind that I have combination skin.
