This cream has a very smooth texture and applied ok to the face using fingers. However it has a very strong white cast that is similar to sunscreen when first applied, and due to this can look a bit patchy (doesn't spread evenly easily). If I don't apply makeup, the white cast seems to fade in around 10-15 minutes. Due to this I don't recommend this at all for medium-dark skin tones.

To make the application a bit smoother and even, I have taken to mixing a bit of the Tone Up Cream with a moisturiser. This seems to reduce the amount of white cast as well.

One pro of this product is that it can be used on the neck to help blend in the neck colour with the face's foundation which was useful during the Winter/Spring season transition.
