Being a fair skinned, freckly girl, I've never been to keen on using heavy foundations for fear of that weird contrast you get between your face, neck and chest. I also get sunburned fairly easy so applying heavy sunblock all through the day doesn't quite work so well when your face is full of concealer or foundation...this is exactly why this product is so amazing. It provides great cover without it looking like you caked on the foundation AND you have great sun protection built in! It's a total win WIN!
