It doesn't break down or get shiny, which is great. It didn't dry out my skin either! It doesn't completely hide dark circles or blemishes, but it does make them look less noticeable, so I thought it was okay. I also use concealer, so I was unsure which to choose, but 01 was white and 02 was dark and dull, so I chose the pink natural. It matches my skin tone and doesn't fade over time. I use it all year round.
