I am of dark skintone so I definitely dont use this on its on because it leaves quite a white cast. but I do use it to basically make my own bb cream by mixing it with my foundation. It's perfect for things of this sort and I literally have my own BB cream because of this. It does lighten my foundation depending on how much I mix in which I love because I can better match my foundation to my skintone and it PREVENT oxidation! Love it, is a little dewy but I'm okay with that!
