What the gurus are saying

The formula's balance of meadowfoam oil, rose hip oil, and bentonite clay is uncommon and works well, improving as you wear it through the day and proving especially flattering on fine lines. It delivers buildable coverage with a healthy-looking glow. The dropper bottle is messy in practice and shades run slightly deep, so it's worth testing the shade first to find your match.

"I ended up selecting this one, Estée Lauder Futurist Skin Tint Serum. This is another product that I've only used one time. The shade I picked up is 1 and 2 AC crew. I don't know if I'm a fan of these dropper bottles. I really don't know. I feel like I prefer a pump. I feel like this is cute in theory and it fits the serum vibe but it just gets so messy, so messy. This is a little bit dark for me actually, but since it's a skin tint I feel like it works."

"I'm going to use this one from Estée Lauder today and I'm just buffing that all over the skin and then I'm going to press that in with my sponge."
I Want to Look Like This Everyday: Makeup Tutorial
"I've been really into skin tints lately but I also love Estee Lauder base products so I picked this up. [...] It's definitely giving nice coverage. [...] Initially I really love the amount of glow I'm seeing with this. I'm also liking the amount of coverage that I'm getting. [...] My skin just looks really healthy. It honestly matches the luminosity of the eyelids which I like. The shade is a little bit deep for me right now, but I think it'll work, it's not too far off."

"I was talked into buying this one by the ingredients list. It has meadowfoam oil and rose hip oil, which is hard to formulate into a foundation without it changing color through the day, but they also put a bentonite clay in there, so you have both oils and a clay ingredient in the same formula, and it really does come together to be gorgeous on dry skin. It looked better the longer I wore it. It's a buildable coverage foundation, I like to apply it lightly with a sponge, and it looks so pretty, it really does look flattering, especially on fine lines. It has a big shade range, I went with one that's a little warm and leans a bit more orange than the neutral shade I'd usually wear, but because I'm applying it lightly I think I'm still pulling it off. I am thoroughly blown away with this one, I am really impressed with it, I think it's one of the most interesting formulations I've seen since the Shiseido Synchro Skin."
