Lifesaver of a product! I've got light skin that's not really light, it's yellowy lightly tanned skin tone. Yet, I'm still lighter than anything yellow toned that Rimmel "wake me up" and maybelline "f...Read more

Works well when used with most of my foundations, which are not oil-free for the most part. This is a densely pigmented pink-toned ivory colour that does work when mixed with foundations - most drugst...Read more

Good product. Works as intended- lightens foundations. It mixes in well with my foundations and doesn't cause any textural issues with silicon based foundations. (I'm assuming this won't work with wat...Read more

This is a cool product and I'm surprised more companies aren't making something similar. It does what it says - lightens and neutralizes yellow-based foundation. The price point is up there, but if yo...Read more

I am very pale, and about 90% of foundations are too dark for me. I like the liquid consistency of these drops to lighten foundation without changing the consistency. The bottle lasts for a really lon...Read more

Terrible product! First of all, the packaging is absolutely atrocious. The dropper is ridiculous. It does not suck up enough product and when you try to dispense the product it comes out in splatters ...Read more

Dream product. Yes, it's a little expensive but actually when you consider what a teeny-tiny amount is being used it lasts a very long time! I've used this all winter to colour-match a couple of found...Read more

These drops kind of blew my mind. I was kind of intimated with the concept - you mix one drop into your foundation to lighten it by about 1/2 a shade. The dropper is a little bit annoying to use but ...
