Good Stuff and Plenty; I Approve...

I do not have an aversion to silicones, quite the opposite. If you dislike silicone, move on. Personally, I look for a texture similar to that iconic Smashbox item. I love smooth, softening, properly formulated silicone-based primers and this is exactly that!

As others have said, use too much and you'll be overwhelmed. Luckily, it has a quick set-time so excercise a little patience and you're ready to begin.

It certainly does what it says - For the record, I slept in makeup and woke up shocked to see my previous application looking halfway decent. Almost unbelievable that I was still wearing my powder foundation after a romp and a snooze ;)

Regarding the -1, no 'blur' or silica microsphere or luminescence effect. There's no OMG or bonus factor, here. Perhaps it was my folly in choosing the wrong primer in their line - and I do plan to try the others. However, with the size of this bottle, I am good on primer for the rest of the season.. but that's nothing to complain about!

Too dark, orange-y

I was getting a quick make-up session done in the car and I said I was unsure about the It Celebration Light compact.. My husband looked over and said, "I can see from here it's too dark for your skin."

Today, while applying make-up I took a close look while using this and he was right - pumpkin pie face! Or, it would have been if I used it more than a swipe..

Getting sent back..

Until the lighter version is available, I have to abstain. It does cover well and quickly.. I used it to contour a bit and was impressed with coverage and ease of attaining the coverage.
