Curel Intensive Moisture Care Tinted Base Milk (Beige01)

I purchased this tinted sunscreen for everyday use, as it offered both sun protection and light coverage. I wanted a generous amount of sunscreen, so I didn't want something with too much coverage like a BB cream or CC cream, as they felt it would be too heavy. I've tried a variety of tinted sunscreens in the past. I've used La Roche-Posay tints and several Korean cosmetics, but I was surprised by how smooth and watery this is. I don't like my face feeling sticky, so I tend to use face powder to smooth it out, but this one is so smooth I don't even need a face powder. It has good coverage, and while it doesn't hide acne scars, it does fill in and conceal pores. After using this, I apply a beige face powder and then a powder concealer on areas of concern. My skin quickly fades from UV rays, so this is gentle and seems like it would work even when my skin is sensitive. It's a great product, but there's one thing I like about it: even the light beige shade is quite dark. I usually buy the lightest or next lightest shade of foundation, but this one seems to be about the standard shade or even darker. The only thing that's disappointing is the color. If they came out with a shade lighter, it would be perfect.

I received a sample. I took it with me on my trip, and it's quite beige! But it has a really light, loose texture. It doesn't weigh down my skin. It has enough coverage for a primer, so I think I could go to work with just this and powder. It's perfect for days when you don't feel like putting on makeup.

I have combination skin, and I think the problem is that the moisture difference between the oily and dry areas is so extreme... Huh, it doesn't wet my skin properly at all. What does that mean?? I've seen a lot of positive reviews on here, but I just can't get the hang of it. It leaves uneven, scaly patches. I thought maybe it wasn't moisturizing enough, so I've tried various things, like moisturizing my skin thoroughly and not making it too sticky, but the result is messy (lol). But I don't want to waste it, so I'll keep trying to find the best way to use it!

Sorry, I honestly didn't have high expectations, but it was better than I expected. Curel UV is sticky and hard to remove, so I thought this would be the same. However, although it has the texture that is unique to non-chemical products, it is smooth, semi-matte, and has natural coverage, giving it a finish similar to liquid foundation. It doesn't crumble or smudge over time, and I think it's an excellent base makeup product for this price range. Beige 02 looks dark, but when I applied it, it blended with my skin and didn't feel too dark. (The foundation color is always the standard color.) I'd like to include this in my list of fall/winter foundations.
