I have tried several Dermablend products recently, and this cover creme is definitely my favorite thus far. I think I have finally found my perfect shade for foundation. It adds a touch of color without looking artificial, and I don't have to waste time rubbing off excess to tone it down. You can use the included plastic stick to scrape off some foundation (a little can go a long way, but it's a work of trial and error) to place on your hand and activate by rubbing, then applying to your face.
