It's a rare thing to see someone not blur or use ridiculously bright beauty lights to blur their natural skin. We are all human and I love that Soph shows she's just like the rest of us with breakouts, pores, and scars

Loved this review, you’re so thorough and like everyone else I appreciate you showing more real lighting shots of the product. I’m going to buy!

The concealer is my favorite concealer to use all over my face, its really the only one I like for concealing spots. I like to use it on days I am going out of my house and am breaking out but don't want to actually do my makeup.
