So, this is very important when using. I wouldn't recommend this for everyday use. But, using, as you can see it's clear. I put two squirts on my hand, my finger tips. As always, I'm going to go ahead and put it on both hands. I'm going to start at the forehead, work my way down, blend it in very nicely. It's very, very smooth. It almost feels like a vale and that's what I like to call it. It's a skin vale so it makes the makeup look even better when you're on stage. You can buy this at probably I would say almost any department store that sells makeup. Make sure you get it in all of the areas even the neck area is very, very important."
