“I used it so much I kept looking at the bottle in awe of how many uses I got out of it. It’s an immediate repeat buy for me. I love that it has Serena Williams’ stamp of approval for long wear for an active lifestyle, even though there was no chance of me wearing it out. Mostly I love it for making my skin look healthy, vibrant and glowy. And having 36 shades available, it’s game, set, match for me.”

“No matter how many skin tints I try I always come back to this one. It makes my skin look blurred, dewy, even and radiant every time (and it only looks better as the day goes on). Plus, with SPF 40 I get great protection and get to skip a step in my skin-care routine. 10/10!”

“It feels like skin care on my skin; however, it also gives the most amazing skin-perfecting sheen and enough coverage to camouflage my dark spots and even out my skin tone. With 30 shades, it’s among the most inclusive of the skin tints on the market.”

“This has been one of my favorites for a few years now. It covers everything I want to hide while still making my skin look fresh. I typically use light to medium foundation shades, and I use the shade Melrose in this one.”

“I first tried this a couple years ago while testing products for our NewBeauty Awards, and instantly fell in love. It’s very light and nongreasy. I’m shade three (a light-medium with peach undertones), and it gives me that perfect ‘no-makeup makeup’ look on my good-skin days.”

“I hate the feeling of sunscreen, which is why I love Kosas DreamBeam—you'd never know you had SPF on; it’s so lightweight. The tint is very light, but it gives a natural, blurring sun-kissed look that makes me feel like I have a real life Instagram filter on my face.”
