“It does have a tiny bit of a sting at first but it could be because I have rosacea (not in a flare currently) and my skin is sensitive to alcohol at first contact.
“I use the Real Techniques Glow finish on my beauty blender (just a light spray or two) before pouncing in my skin tint.
“It leaves a nice healthy glow.
“As a matter of fact, I can now leave off my Elf Halo Glow if I want to. Just thought I’d mention these two new finds to you all!”
