I like this product, too. I only use it on top of everything to finish. I lightly pat it on. I liked the liquid tinted version, too. Mally might still sell it, but it could be discontinued, but I haven't checked since I stocked up in early summer when her company sold. I hope she doesn't change the formula on the compact product like she has with the shadow sticks & mascara. (Sorry to be a Debbie Downer on that!)

I've been looking at this and pondering buyg it for a few weeks now. I've read good reviews and bad reviews, and I can't decide.Maybe you can help me!

 

I am 60 years old with fine lines, dry skin and larger pores. I want to smooth out my complexion by diffusing the look of pores and fine lines, so I would use this either by itself or over/under a foundation.

Do you ike this product? Does it really smooth things out like it says?

 

Thank you in advance for your replies!


If you are talking about the Mally Defender BB cream foundation, yes, love it and would be my pick for a ''higher'' end foundation since it is $40 or $45 but you do get 1.8 ounces instead of the usual 1 ounce most offer.

I have dry mature skin and no, this doesn't settle into or show up fine lines/wrinkles or pores.

 

I don't like the paddle type brush she uses so I use my Real Techniques Expert Facr brush(Ulta and Walmart) which is great, fantastic. All you need is a small drop on the top of the brush, dot around your    face than blend in. A little goes a long way and you will get a very nice finished look without that madeup look. It is medium to full coverage and very blendable.

This is my pick for any TV or department store foundation. I would highly recommend this as well as the L'Oreal tru match lumi.

Both are long lasting and both feel very nice on the face/skin unlike some I tried that felt like I had a mask on all the time no matter how little I used.

 

For drug store I love the L 'Oreal Tru Match Lum in 3n(I am light to light medium) and this is perfect for my dry mature skin.

 

I do want to look at the newer version of   the CG & OOO Ageless that comes in a see through pump bottle even though I LOVE my L'Oreal tru match lumi, why, who knows.
