I'm not sure whether my monitor color is off, but when I requested this it appeared quite a bit lighter than what it actually is. So while I was able to test this out for it's intended use I haven't been able to wear it out of the house because the color is too dark for my skin tone. The texture is thick, but smooth.  It come with a small "spatula" type tool to remove from the jar.  Although it states you can apply without doing so, I really feel like it does need to be warmed/worked up prior to applying which is easy enough done on the back of my hand or palm. The coverage is good and does feel a bit heavy to me, but I don't normally wear a lot of make-up. I fell like this could easily leave someone looking too made up if you're not used to applying a product like this (like me!), but there are so many tutorials and information online to help with that.  Overall I am curious about how this product enough that I want to get some in the correct shade for me and even at the current price it is worth it because a little goes a long way.
