I love a tinted complexion product and I've really enjoyed the products I've tried from Rare Beauty so far (original review), so when I saw the Rare Beauty Positive Light Tinted Moisturiser (30N) | £26 | was available at Space NK, it went right into my cart...
This product comes in 24 shades, which isn't bad, though I found them a little confusing; for example, if you wanted a warm shade specifically, the jumps between each warm option are pretty huge. The overall gradient seems ok, though. I chose the shade 30N which is a really good match for me. The bottle is quite small, but at the same time the price point is quite a bit lower than other products I reach for in this category (namely from Nars and Rose Inc), so it's probably swings and roundabouts! You just squeeze the bottle to dispense the product so a bit of control is needed to get the right amount, though I do think this packaging could be better for eaking out the final drops (TBC...)
In terms of longevity... it's ok. It doesn't settle into fine lines or get cakey or clumpy on my skin during the day, but on a typical 9-5 when I'm out and about, I do notice it gets a bit shiny around my t-zone and does break up a little around my chin and forehead. It's a shame because I can see that being a deal-breaker for oily-skinned people who will naturally have a lot more of a problematic t-zone! It looks ok and it's not as though I wouldn't reach for it when I'm going to work for that reason, it's more that I don't experience these issues with my existing favourites.
All-in-all: it's a really nice product but I do prefer that bit of extra glow so it's definitely not toppled my beloved Nars! I'd have forgiven that if it had a really bulletproof longevity, but unfortunately that's not the case. That all makes this a 'use up' but not a repurchase for me...
