palm oil pore clogging failed applicator [SEP] not so good colorunknown lastingi was glad i read a few reviews before i opened it then i opened it carefully pushed gently and it burst out the sides all the same i was not sure if it was because the on off was marked on the lid but not the tube maybe i just turned it the wrong amount turn seemed reasonable so i turned it tighter and more came out the sides for what it is worth the instructions just have us dabbing a couple dots on with the sponge and blending with the fingers or brush the sponge is an entirely unnecessary additionas you can see from the photo this did allow me to put a nice and thick layer on my arm just in case anyone is looking to see how dramatic it can be i do like the color it is a good match but i would not use it on my eyes or my lips because the product says liquid blush there is a graphic on this page that says in despite showing eyes blush lips on the very same graphic which i am pretty sure would be in the last issue is the ingredients the top ingredient is ethylhexyl palmitate which is a pretty well known comedogenic pore clogging problem so it is not great if you have breakouts that is why i do not know how long it lasts or well it holds up over time it is not worth the high risk of breakouts so i did not wear it long you might have guessed that palmitate is also a derivative of palm oil which is an industry that is destroying many biodiverse foreststwo stars for color texture feels nice but i would only recommend this to people with clear skin that do not really have any desire to use the applicator sponge
