There weren't many affordable color control bases, so when it first came out I was impressed by how natural it was at toning up my skin and how easy it was to use. However, as I used it, I realized it crumbled more easily than other bases, so I used it on days when I only wore sunscreen or just on my neck, and then used it up. Using the blue alone made my complexion look dull, but the yellow gave me just the right amount of whitening, which was just right.
