Swatches

I am NC35 for reference and i find that Honey is a bit too yellow & dark for me. Rosy or Apricot Beige is probably a better alternative for those in the NC30-35 range.

The Good

- feels lighweight to the skin
- blends well and very easy to apply

- has SPF 15, which is a must for me when it comes to moisturizers

- moisturizes well and offers light coverage

- leaves a natural looking, dewy finish to the skin

- very affordable

The Bad

- coverage is too light for my liking, on the coverage scale of 1-5, this would be a 1.5
- doesn't cover up minor blemishes on the face
- the weird scent bothers me (i have very sensitive nose)
- does not stay on for too long, about 2-3 hrs max 

  

Who Might Like This

- people who want a hint of color and coverage on their moisturizer

- great for casual, everyday use, or for those days when you're too lazy to put on makeup

- people not very fond of wearing makeup but still want a tiny bit of coverage

Final Verdict

B+

Will I Repurchase?

No

The strong scent really bothers me and I still find myself always going back to my Missha Perfect Cover.
