So this is the darker of the two tints of this product and honestly this is medium at BEST. It also has "sheer color correction technology" which is a load of all tosh, it just has a tint. The finish is VERY matte though and it was easy to spread. I do appreciate all of the antioxidants and hydrating ingredients in this, however. Avoid if you have a deep skin tone, but if you're more medium and you like a matte finish, this may work for you.
