Boo! I tried the nivea tinted moisterisor and it looks hideous on me!

[Rubiesandrainbows]

I'm rather cross at my own face.

Usually use bobbi brown tinted moisterisor in extra light tint

Heard lots of good stuff re the £2 nivea one and - being a single parent - thought I'd give it a go.

Unfortunatly my face decided it was going to look crap! Very matt and dry, and a strange unnatural colour :(

So, I wondered back to the bobbi brown counter and asked her to remove half my makeup and re-do with the bobbi brown tinted balm - the result was a bobbi brown cleansweep - so I'm £33 the poorer (interestingly, the extra light tint was too light this time, so I'm just using light tint - maybe my usual bobbi brown one has been looking crap for some time too!)

As you were everyone, looking gorgeous and flawless in nivea.....just thought I'd share.....

:)

Do you have dry skin? I'm tempted after reading everything about the Nivea on here too, but I have crap skin so bit nervous about it being light coverage.

It's possible the summer has darkened your skin a little to explain the slightly darker BB shade this time :)

Amara thats the thing - no I do think it is a little dry but I do like the dewy look, so maybe Im just so used to that, that anything with a matt(er) look just doesnt feel right!

Yes - good point about it being summer - I will save my remainng Extra Light Tint for those cold (paler!) winter months.

I would say at £2 give it a go, and you have hardly lost anything if its crap for you. :)

I prefer a dewy or natural finish too because I do have dry skin, matte just makes me look older, yuck! You're right though, for £2 it's worth a try!

Yeah totally agree re matt making one look older. I caught myself in the mirrow while out yesterday in the nivea one and got a bit of a fright!!

Lol, I get a bit of a fright most days ;)

I think my dewyness had persuaded me into a false sense of dewy security!

Nothing wrong with that! In my mind I'm still the slim 19 year old I was before I got pregnant, so it always comes as a shock to see my overweight, tired self in the mirror, lol.

This happened to me too when I tried it a couple of years ago,
Just looked awful on my face.
I like a dewy look too.

I've been using it since 1998 . It has always been fine for me - I love it - but £2?? I pay around a fiver for it!

It's on a 2 for £4 offer at Boots at the moment. Fill your boots lovecorrie.

I got some for £1.50 in Sainsburys last week and it looks terrible on me.
Very matte.

I was disappointed not to buy this last week - the shelves were bare in the Sainsbury's I went to whilst away.

But looking at some of the experiences I'm not quite as gutted as I was! I too dislike a matte look, although at £1.50 I'd have snapped one up to try:)
