![]() You can use a sponge, but when I tried to use my Real Techniques sponge, it just soaked it all up (as sponges do), and there was really no product going on my skin. I basically squeeze drops on my face and then rub it in with my hands. It does prevent it from being messy, but squeezing this hard, plastic bottle is not my favorite. The bottle it comes in is cute and minimal, but I don’t like that you really have to squeeze hard to get product to come out. I apply this the Glossier way, with my hands. But, I also don’t hate the product, it just didn’t work for my skin type. I do not recommend the Perfecting Skin Tint for anyone with oily skin. I have oily skin, not combination, pure oily skin. I did about three layers, and didn’t notice a change in the coverage for myself. ![]() It does state on the website, that you can build up to a light-medium coverage. ![]() This is what I wanted, just a minimal change. I think some kind of mattifying primer or lotion, or whatever you use is necessary. I did use the pore minimizer all over my face. You can kind of see there’s barely a difference. Let’s just focus on the skin tint for now. In the pictures above, I have on the skin tint and the concealer. Left: With Skin Tint and Concealer Right: No Makeup It’s super sheer, and makes a minimal difference. So, if you are considering this product, please know that you will NOT get much coverage. That’s why I had started using a BB cream, (which I still really like). I work Monday through Friday, and I don’t want to wear makeup all the time. Just so I can let my skin breathe at work. I wanted something super light, just gives me some evenness, but my acne spots and blemishes would still be visible. This doesn’t give really any coverage, which I knew and really didn’t mind. Listen, Glossier is definitely on the top tier of the “natural makeup” movement, which I love. Should’ve gone with the crowd on this one, but at least I tried it. But there were a few in between that loved it, so I thought maybe I’ll be in the latter group. I really wanted to try all Glossier products and when I was looking at reviews for the Perfecting Skin Tint, majority of the people who had oily skin really didn’t like it. It was $26 for 1 fl oz, which I found kind of pricey, but I wanted to try it, so I bit the bullet. But, I’m able to make this shade work with a couple other products. If I ever repurchased this, I would actually go two shades darker to G8 – a medium neutral shade. I purchased the shade G10, described as a light-medium shade. They have 12 shades, which I think is okay because they’re skin tints, and since they’re so sheer, you can make it work. It’s described on the website as a thin, breathable formula, minimizes the appearance of pores, has Glycerin that moisturizes the skin, and leaves a dewy finish. Now, let’s talk about the Perfecting Skin Tint. Check out my post on the Glossier Makeup Set, which includes the Boy Brow, Lashslick Mascara, and Cloud Paint in Dusk if you haven’t. That’s one of the main reasons I decided to even try out Glossier in 2019, but I was also drawn in with the hype, of course. I’m so happy that my first post for 2020 is on cruelty free products. Today, I’ll be doing a review on the Glossier: Skin Tint and Stretch Concealer.
