  • “The coverage is just a more toned-down version of Luminous Silk, And I feel like this is also a little bit easier to apply than luminous silk for day to day because it applies just as nicely with a brush as it does your fingertips”8:24–8:35
  • “It's kind of like a serum skin tint. So it's not like a tinted moisturizer. I just I like the formula a lot more”8:35–8:47
