I have tried several Dermablend products recently, and this cover creme is definitely one of my favorites thus. I really like the shade, and it adds a touch of color without looking artificial. 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.
