While this item does give a natural glow to the skin which some oily skins may not enjoy, it is oil free, waterproof and stays in place well throughout the day while providing good coverage.
If you prefer a matte finish, try their Powder FX Mineral Powder Foundation or set the Skin Tint FX with their Matte FX Oil Absorbing Powder.

I am lucky to have only had a few blemishes in my entire life. This product caused me to develop a few small pimples later in the day and throughout the following night. I stopped using it immediately. If you have acne prone skin, I would avoid this product.

Based on my trial and error with this product I can only say that the "C" Tint is for fair (lighter) skin, "E" tint is for olive tone skin (hint of green/yellow color in skin). The M is for those with medium to darker tones. As for LIGHT ad DEEP, think of it as a hair color: If you are a blond usually there are variations, so for fairer skin you would use C Light for very light skin, and Deep if you want a slightly richer deeper look on your fair skin (like a bronzed look). Same goes for the E and M tones. But I always recommend to try both Light and Deep at the store (preferably one on each cheek). This way you know which look you like best. In my case I sampled the E Light for my olive complexion, and although it looked great, I preferred the E Deep. Hopefully this answer's your question.

Went through a couple of these before I found the right one. My mother purchased the first one which was the C Deep - too dark. Then someone sent me this product in for light skin - too light though. Ultimately I found the one for olive complexion and that was just right. However if you are trying to blend and go a shade lighter than the olive, the one to buy is the C Light, but with your olive complexion the best you can do is blend the two, b/c the C light is too light for our complexions. Hope this helps.

E light is darker than C light, but lighter than M light. So from darkest to lightest: M, E, C.

C = Caucasian skin with pink undertones.
E = Caucasian skin with pink & yellow undertones.
M = Skin with yellow & olive undertones.

Tinted moisturizers tend to be darker than a regular foundation. I'm fair to medium and the lightest color was plenty dark for me. Hope this helps.

I don't think this is for you. I just wrote a review on this to comment that I did not like that is leaves a sparkly look, especially in the sunlight. I did not find it moisturizing, and I was looking for the same thing as you are. Good luck!

In my opinion, "M" seems to be the darkest, then "E," and then "C" would be the lightest.
