The shade is good for me, they applied beautifully, and disappears into the skin to create a "my skin but better" look. However, it does cling onto dry patches so would suggest to exfoliate the skin the night before, and/or hydrates the skin well before use.
I find that it applied the best when I work in small areas at a time, and it looks good using a brush, fingers, or sponge. (Would not suggest you use the sponge that it came with). I have to work fast though because if it dries even a little, the BB cream starts to break down if I try to smooth or layer them. Another downside is, I tried using multiple primers (hydrating, pore filling) as a step before, but this BB cream does not mix well with any primer that I tried.
Also, just side note, it exploded in its box when mine arrived. It's probably a fluke, but be careful on your order too.
