I bought this expecting it would be like NIOD Photography Fluid Opacity 8%, which I absolutely love but which Cult Beauty doesn't sell unfortunately. It is nothing like it. Where the 8% is tinted - I mix with my foundation and it makes my skin look amazing - the 12% is thick, white and a bit sparkly. It does not combine with my foundation, and used on its own it just makes me look a bit sweaty! Going in the bin I'm sorry to say.

I expected this to be good but unfortunately I couldn’t… As people said, the formula gets stuck in the dropper and can’t take the formula out. On the skin, it’s too bronzey and my pores and dry patches are more visible.  

the packaging is the worst, it stopped me from repurchasing the product. the juice inside is not that fluid so a dropper is not the best option to get the product out (I think a pump would work way better) otherwise it is one of the best illuminizing product I've used. at first will appear so icy (I got medium-warm skintone) but when you continue to message it into the skin it became more realistic and makes your skin looks as if you been doing all the good things you're suppose to do to have a healthy glowing skin. what's amazing about this product that I couldn't detect any glitter in it unlike most illuminizers I've used. I don't use it under foundation or over foundation. I just used it by itself, with some cream blush, and voila; I look healthy and well rested. again wouldn't buy it with this packaging, I'll keep try other products. 

I really want to like this product. I like the description but the results are super meh. It is difficult to blend or even get out of the dropper. It looks like a weird mask on its own. Clings to dry spots or peach fuzz like crazy and dries out my sensitive skin.

Now that I’m working from home I no longer do full makeup and I find this makes me look and feel so much better on unflattering video calls. I wear it on its own with a water-based blusher so can’t speak for combining it with foundation. For a light, natural healthy glow, this works for me!

If you have light skin tone you can use this as bronzer. For me it looks really natural and it blends easily. I love the look.

I am using it just with moisturizer + SPF. No need for more!

I already have the By Terry Sunny Flash and the CT Flawless Filter but if you ask me... I prefer this than the 2 other high-end products. Firstly, because it's not oily and it works well in humidity. I can easily mix this in with my BB cream and does not make me look like a grease ball. True to its claim, I look "filtered" in real life and much more so in camera flash. I do not think I will purchase the 8% opacity though because the By Terry is okay with me if I want to bronze up my face.

Found this really unnatural looking and very difficult to blend. Takes a good 2-3 mins of smoothing over skin to get rid of streaks and patches. Wouldn't recommend to anyone with combination skin/looking for a quick fix.

Wanted to love this but like other reviewers, I found this really unnatural looking and it sank into pores. Very shimmery and even when I mixed just a drop with my moisturiser, it still dominated my skin. Total waste of money.
