My Review:

The packaging is cute and the cream comes in a sturdy white tube with a pink label and a silver cap. It’s attractive and also very convenient to use. The nozzle dispenses is nice and easy to use. The cream is thick but takes time to blend. It stays for about 3-4 hours and gives a semi matte finish without using any compact.  

The coverage is decent. My face needs a lot of coverage (for blemishes and spots) other than around the eyes and this cream does the job of evening out my skin tone very well though I am not sure if it really lightens the skin. It is not a moisturizer so you have to use a good moisturizer if your skin is dry otherwise it is perfect for oily skin as it give matte finish. 

The biggest issue is that it comes in only one shade, which is made for medium to fair skin. So if you have a darker skin tone (Like me) give this cream a miss or you may end up looking unnaturally white or grey patches or you can use this as a highlighter.
