This product has a soft felt type tip on it, which is nice, but I did worry about contamination if you applied it to a blemish using the tip it comes with. I squeeze it onto a very fine Jane Iredale brush to apply it. It has a pleasant smell, is not thick or clumpy, hides blemishes well, and gets rid of them very quickly. There isn't much in the tube, but just a little dab covers very well, so it should last a while. I am very happy with this product.
