It does give a bit of a 'glow' to your look and does make your complexion a little more whiter than it actually is. I recommend this for people who have somewhat clear, smooth skin with faded scars who seek minimal coverage and not the thick coverage for their faces. The scent is pleasant and after a few minutes, your skin feels a bit smoother and you're ready to go! Of course with all the applying, you might make the white pearl part become a little more faded as the color part on the cushion mixes them.
