First impressions? This little tube packs a punch! The Caffe shade is a gorgeous neutral that blends like a dream on my fair skin. It’s not greasy at all—just a dewy, lit-from-within glow that makes me look awake even after three coffees.

The buildable formula is *chef’s kiss*. I dabbed a tiny amount for work (subtle “I woke up like this” vibes) and layered more for date night—zero patchiness. Pro tip: Pair it with Milani’s Mineral Blush in the same shade for next-level dimension. Suddenly, my cheekbones exist!

But let’s talk applicator drama. That cushion tip? Cute in theory, messy in practice. I squeeze product onto my hand and use a brush for precision. Bonus discovery: It doubles as a stunning eyeshadow for rushed mornings!

Now, the elephant in the room—longevity. Some users report glow betrayal (fading to matte), but mine stayed put through a humid subway commute. Maybe it’s my skincare prep? If you’re oily-skinned, set it lightly with powder.

Final verdict: For the price, this outperforms many high-end rivals. Just embrace the slight mess—your selfies will thank you.
