does this dry on the face quickly so I can use other color layers on top? Does it need water added or does it come creamy?

I added a tiny bit of water to make application easier. It does dry quickly even with added water. I did white and then painted black zebra stripes and it worked very well!

Just gradually mix in hot water until you make a thin paste. I add oil and mix extra because it doesn't go in smooth, the oil helps. Then you cover your head and wait about an hour or so, the longer you wait the deeper the color. It lasts about a month and it's easier on my hair, very fine, dry's out and breaks easily. I wish it were lighter though, this one is a deep brown, still on the light side, my hair is more like a blondish brown usually.

It depends on the color. Some of the colors I got are creamy and some are dry.

it basically let's your makeup do what it does with little need to touch up because of shine. i haven't noticed any drying or accentuating my smile line wrinkles. i have combo skin to and the most i have had to do was pat my face down once a day. hope this help!

It's like a watery gel, almost like midway between toner and gel. I just use a dime sized amount and smooth over my face and neck. It absorbs very quickly.

You shouldn't feel any stickiness as this cream has a lot if water in it. It should go on smoothly and absorb quickly.

this cream is like one with an spf sunblock type. It is creamy and goes on wet. When you apply it smooths into skin very much like sun tan lotion. Almost with a white residue, but it absorbs completely. It leaves a slightly greasy feeling for about an hour then resolves when left on. Yes it is heavy use less and oily but will not clog your pores like some other creams do. This will be absorbed in one hour.

I bought this for my daughter, she agrees completely with Fay's answer. She said the only thing she would add is that she always uses more than she thinks she needs (thickness/depth of line made) because it seems to make it darker and last longer (she has fair skin). It does take longer to dry when you do this, but she feels it's worth the effort and agrees with Fay on going by look and peeling. Says to keep it on as long as you can handle. Good luck.

Its more gel like. Not real watery, I can actually use the dropper and apply to face and it won't run down too fast.

Mary, I put the serum on first and wait for it to dry @ 1 minute then cream...enjoy. This product does live up to it's promises. Have a wonderful weekend, Cyndi

It is also thin, like water. I mix it into my nightly moisturizer. Have used it for more than 7 months and love the results.

I apply it first and let it dry. Then I apply my BB cream and continue on with my makeup. It does make your skin smooth and the BB cream/foundation goes on evenly.

It is on the watery side. Not a gel consistency if that's what you're looking for. I never repurchased, because it made absolutely no difference in the quality of my skin. Everyone's different though. Also, mine has not spoiled, because I keep it in the fridge.

I used a thin layer on my face, and it blended in without leaving any white film. If you slather it on, it probably would look white and pasty. A thin layer was sufficient for me.

There are two versions of this item. One specifically says it is matte finish. The one that I think is in the photo does not mention matte finish. This one has a creamy finish. It absorbes into the skin and leaves a slight dewy look. When I use it I mix a very small amount of my liquid foundation into it and it leaves a finish just slightly dewyer than my foundation alone. I love this product. Have tried other products and have not found one that blends as well while providing the sun protection ones needs. I have also tried the matte finish and did not like it at all. It does not blend as well. I know two other people that have tried it and say the same thing. Hope this helps. There are two versions of this item. One specifically says it is matte finish.

You can put on top of it just a thin layer. The Coastal cover is not fluid, is thicker, so you cannot add to much powder on top. I guess it is depending what type of skin you have. Mine is dry so I dont use to much powder. But the Coastal palette is great for contouring.

I mixed it with Lubraderm. It Turned white after a lot of rubbing. This was too greasy for my face, but worked okay on the rest of the body. Next I will mix it with a lighter lotion and see how it works on my face.
