ILIA - Natural Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 | Non-Toxic, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Clean Makeup (Kai ST-6.5)

I understand that pale girl makeup is like the white crayon of makeup because it’s basically pointless and covers nothing, but I was still expecting more. With my first bottle, I was pleasantly surprised with the coverage, even though it wasn’t a ton, it still evened out my skin and redness, covered some pimples decently, and I looked radiant, dewy, fresh, and flirty. I’m already pretty pale in the summer but I’m practically a ghost in the winter, so I got a lighter shade, maybe even the lightest one they offer, and I feel like the formula was completely different (perhaps it’s because the first bottle I bought in store at Sephora and this one I bought on Amazon?). It was way more oily than my last bottle (maybe due to less pigment?) whereas the last bottle gave more of a healthy glow look, and it even felt greasy and covered absolutely nothing (coming from someone who LOVES dewy, light coverage base looks year round). I pretty much use it as a tinted sunscreen on days I don’t feel like putting on makeup because it’s pointless as a base. I’m frustrated though because the first bottle I got, I LOVED and felt like I didn’t even need to set it with powder. Now, not only do I have to set it, but I have to put a full face of makeup on top if I want any coverage or a real makeup look. Ugh. When will ghosts get to have makeup with decent coverage AND a natural finish 😭. I know it’s not a foundation but I’m telling you the first bottle I tried was phenomenal and looked like you had the healthiest, most beautiful skin, giving the perfect base to only do touch up concealer, mascara, blush, and go, and the second bottle I tried was awful. If you’re tan or have a deeper toned skin, I think you’ll love it, but if you’re a ghost like me, you probably won’t like it. For reference, I have somewhat oily skin and struggle with pimples and blackheads, live in the south where it’s hot and humid, and I didn’t have a ton of issues with it sliding around when I didn’t set it, but if I knew I was going to be outside for more than an hour, I DEFINITELY set it very well and even brought powder with me to touch up. In the fall I almost never set it though since I wasn’t sweating it off and it seemed to stay okay, just don’t touch your face or rub it off lol.

I usually do not spend this amount of money on skin products, as I typically purchase drug store products/reasonably priced products that are highly rated. However, I did splurge on this tinted sunblock. For my skin, it definitely stands up to its claims and the great reviews. It goes on smooth; it absorbs, yet leaves skin feeling and looking dewy; it is buildable; it evens out my skin tone; it has 40 SPF, which is greatly appreciated. The dropper does not work very well; and the smell is really horrible. I wish they would remedy the way it smells, because it is yucky. But everything else about the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint lives up to the raves. Note: I have very fair skin, with cool tones.

Wanna feel like you aren’t even wearing make up - this is the product for you. Lasts all day - easy to apply and it is something that I will always keep on hand.

The consistency was nice and the color was great on my skin, however, it made my skin look even more flaky. Not moisturized; dry. I was hoping for a little more coverage without showing in my fine lines. I’m 46. Maybe not for the aging skin.

Lightweight, non-comedogenic, not greasy, even coverage. My skin is sensitive and I breakout easily, ILIA skin tint is a game changer. My skin looks even and the coverage is good. Most importantly, no breakouts!
