A little bit goes a long way! I love the strong pigmentation of the concealer stick and concealing cream. They hide my blemishes and imperfections very well without building thick layers of makeup on the face. I can see the years coming off my face as well. I don't get much sleep with a pre-schooler and infant at home, but Smart Cover Cosmetics always makes me look revitalized and refreshed, which then makes me FEEL revitalized and refreshed! The vitamin stick feelings velvety and lovely on the skin. I can tell it's nourishing my skin. I would like a shade that's a tad darker than the medium beige. Maybe a shade in between medium beige and golden tan. The neutral beige is actually an excellent match for my skin. I like the starter kit because I can play with the colors and work towards a better match.
