I have combination skin, with problem areas and oil in my t-zone. I've been using this bb cream off and on for about... five (?) years now and it's definitely my go to. For the quality of the product it's affordable and I always come back to it after trying other foundations and bb creams. If I'm having a lazy day I just pat it on with my fingers but most often I use it in a routine involving concealer, powder and setting spray for higher coverage. I use a dewy setting spray from nyx that I spray on during application and blend in, and throughout doing the rest of my makeup. My only complaint is the lack of shade range but the lightest shade works wonderfully for me in winter, and the shade down is great in summer. The closest shade reference I have is that I use colourpop's hyaluronic concealer in light 40n as my exact skin match most of the year, but needing a lighter color in the winter. I never want to go back to regular foundation when there's bb creams like this on the market for this price. :)
