WOW, I love this stuff!

I've been using a number of SKINN products for about a year and a half now but had never tried the Orchid Gel until Dimitri's last visit a week or 2 ago. He had a kit with the regular Orchid Gel and the Brightening Gel. I love them both! I've never been a fan of primers, have found that they were kind of greasy on my skin and never did what they were supposed to do.

I've been using the Orchid Gel under my BB Cream and my skin looks flawless and has just the right matte finish without being TOO matte. And it lasts all day! I have even worn it to the gym and it stays put through my workout.

I LOVE this stuff!

I can't live without the purple Orchid Gel, don't like the tinted. I use it every day for a flawless finish.

I want to buy this in a gallon jug!

And I want to kiss Dimitri for making it!

Question... I have the brightening one and the tinted one (which is in med) and a tad too dark). Does the purple one give a different look than the brightening one? TIA.

IMHO On me the tinted stays shiny and never seems to dry down. The purple one is instantly dry and matte and masks my pores and imperfections.

I thought that the brightening one was the same as the tinted one. Are they 2 different products?

I have only worn the purple one on my face. Tried the tinted (brightening) one on my hand, but not yet on my face, so I can't give you a comparison yet.

Maybe someone else can.

OK then.. thanks.. looks like I am going to add the purple orchid gel to my stash. I need the matifying and masking of pores and am not about the shiny look at all!

I think the tinted ones are different from the brightening one, unless "brightening" is considered a shade. The one I have has a color like a foundation and it is in medium. So it gives you color like a foundation. Let us know what you think of the brightening one. I used it the other day and it did like it.

I need to start using mine. I opened last year and haven't touched it since. I think it's time to pull this out again. You all inspired me.

How do you all apply it? I just dabbed it on and thought it looked cakey, I'm obviously doing it wrong.

I just received the Plasma Flawless Finish which I thought might be better -- how do you think the two compare?


Thanks!
