They say it's not foundation, so the coverage is not heavy. I love it for that reason! Say you run out the door quickly and you don't have time to do much, this product is THE ANSWER to looking great in 30 seconds. I love to layer it also, for better coverage. Honestly, there is no wrong way to use Perfekt!

If you use a bit more it covers fine to be worn alone. I like using a teeeeeeny bit under my mineral foundation.

you can easily wear this product alone. i just covered some acne scars with a mineral foundation, only where i needed a little more coverage. it blended very well with the rest of my skin where i had only used the perfekt on.

i didn't think it gave me a lot of coverage... maybe for those lazy days when you don't feel like wearing make-up to run to the store, but other than that, I still wear foundation with it... This is just a really great primer!

Either/or. I think it really depends on your skin. For minor imperfections this and maybe a little concealer could be all you need. It works great under foundation as a primer too, so you can use it either way.

depends on how "flawless" you want your look to be. For the gym, I just use the perfekt alone; for a more finished look, especially if you have some discoloration scars as I do, I couple it with powder foundation except in the t-zone. since this foundation is fairly pricey, it's nice to be able to use a less expensive foundation as a complement

that depends on the level of coverage you need, i only use this now instead of foundation, it gives me a natural, airbrushed look, but i don't have many issues to cover. the lady at the store showed me that you can layer the product too to add more coverage if you need it. i would go to the store and try the tinted ones in person and see what you think. but i totally love them and its made my routine much easier than foundation and concealer and powder, etc. ..

If you need to cover things on your face like serious blemishes/dark spots/scars, etc, this alone definitely will not do it. It does add a nice glow and helps with the overall skin tone, but the coverage is very sheer, like a tinted moisturizer, so I would recommend using a more full-coverage foundation/concealer with it, or just skipping this altogether if you want more coverage...it is pretty expensive.

I think it can be worn alone only if you have great skin to begin with, i.e, your age, sun damage, etc. If you generally wear foundation then I don't believe this product on it's own is what you would be used to.

If you have a lot of imperfections - you may need to use a little concealer on those areas and then this for your entire face. If your skin is even "fairly" good - it will make you look great and you will LOVE it.

Go for it! I use this under Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet and you would never know I've ever had any skin issues whatsoever. This takes care of large pores and rough textures and paves the way for the color correction a foundation will provide. It does not make my foundation cake at all and Mat Velvet is a very dense formula.

this product would be perfect for that, depending on how much coverage you are looking for, you might not even need all the extra steps of concealer and foundation. go to the store and try the tinted versions and see if thats enough coverage for you. the sales associate also told me that you can layer the product to add more coverage if needed. but yes, you could totally use underneath your normal makeup routine, i would probably suggest the clear version then, but try the tinted one at the store and see

This product is really good at improving the look of your overall skin tone and giving you more of a glow; when I used it I noticed that, but I also noticed that I would need something else to cover my acne spots, so I just used a full-coverage concealer with it and voila!--flawless.

My skin tone is fair to medium but not beige. I have a neutral skin tone, and beige makeup usually makes me look yellow. I am afraid that if I purchase the luminous color it won't provide enough coverage for my blemishes, but I don't want to purchase the radiant and look yellow. Please advise.

I have a medium skin tone with sallow (yellow) undertones and I use the Radiant during the fall, winter, and spring and use the Rich in the summer when I become tanned from the sun. I have been known to mix the Radiant and Rich together so that is why I now buy the travel size of the rich since I don't use it as much.

With a fair to medium skin tone, I find the Perfekt Gel in Radiant warms my face up just a bit like a natural tan - no yellowing at all. It has very light coverage, like a tinted moisturizer, but seems to blend uneveness better than others I've tried. I use a dab of concealer on obvious problems.

I also used the Skin Perfection Gel under my eyes until I started using their Eye Perfection Gel 2 months ago and it works wonderfully b/c it also comes in the different shades. The eye gel also has a soothing effect and keeps eye shadow from creasing so it is definitely worth the money as well b/c you can eliminate your eye shadow primer if you use one.

I use perfekt below my eyes as a base for my concealer as well as on my eyelids when I need a little extra evenness. I have had no problem doing this, so based on my experience I would say it is safe. On a side note I do not wear contacts so I'm not sure if that would make a difference.

This is completely normal. A little bit truly goes a long way with this product. The pump is measured allowing the perfect amount to disperse to cover your entire face. Keep in mind you can always build for more coverage if you prefer without it looking heavy or cakey.

if you are looking for neutral sheer coverage, then this product is ok. I wore this to a dinner and then went clubbing, and it didn't melt off my face. But don't expect it to work flawlessly as a foundation/concealer, as those ones you can't hide with this product. But I really like it as it feels light on your skin and didn't cause my skin to break out unlike a lot of other primers I'd used.
