Emily Myint –
Picked this product up when I was back home, the tint is a great shade that works great for me (darker east asian) and for some of my friends who have borrowed it (Pakistani and mixed), it's a godsend in places with high UV and blends super well into the skin. I've had only great experiences with this and my skin always feels great afterwards.
