hard candy sheer envy tinted moisturizer

i've been on a bit of a foundation kick lately (mostly out of interest in finding some decent winter foundations) and being too broke to be able to afford to keep buying tons of higher end ones to support this new obsession, i've been trying out different drugstore brands to find any that actually might work for me.

i decided to try hard candy's tinted moisturizer after reading a few decent reviews online and seeing in store that the lightest shade might actually be yellow toned.

after trying it out a few times, i'd conclude that you could call this more of a hybrid tinted moisturizer/sheer foundation.

the color match it pretty good. the color appears to be a very close match to my skintone, although i feel that it's either oxidizing a bit on me, or just a tad too dark because i feel in some areas that i see a tiny bit of orange, although it never looks uneven or dark overall. it could very well be my imagination, or me just over analyzing and looking far too close to find flaws.

the consistency is nice and what makes me call it a bit more than a tinted moisturizer. it actually gives a decent amount of coverage, although it is sheer, i find many tinted moisturizers don't even offer enough coverage to even out skin color.

as i mentioned before, the one i got is yellow toned which is huge to me as i find many tinted moisturizers are beige toned, which equals orange on me.

it also does a fair amount of moisturizing. i wouldn't personally skip my regular moisturizer for this, but it doesn't leave me dry or accentuate flakes. it also stays put pretty well. it gives a slight glow but still dries down enough that it won't slide right off your face.

overall, i'd say this is actually one of the better tinted moisturizers i've used, which is a big deal considering it's price tag. definitely give this a try if you're looking for something easy and quick to put on but find that many tinted moisturizers won't cover enough for you.
