I brought this 50ml Nivea Visage Tinted Moisturising Cream in colour "natural" about a year ago from a beauty store for about £6.00, but may vary where you go. I quite like all the nivea range as it's gentle on your skin and makes skin really soft. I've previously brought nivea lipcare, nivea face cream and nivea's range of suntan lotion and have been pretty happy with the result of them all.
The reason why i've had this product for so long (unlike most beauty products which are used up within a couple of months) is because it isn't that much of a great product and i rarely use it, unless you like being shiny that is. As that is all this product does really, makes your skin shiny. Yes it gives your face an alright tint, which you could probably make out is fake tan, and it may make your skin smooth and moisturised, but there are more negatives than positives in my point of view. For example, on the back of the product it says "A special combination of Light-Reflecting and Colour Pigments blends with your natural skin tone to brighten your complexion and even out skin imperfections". I suppose they are half right when they say about light reflecting, as any type of light really does bounce off your face! In my opinion it just made me look shiny, and not in a healthy radiant type of way either. The product says its a light formula and is easily absorbed, not necessary true, because why would it make you so shiny!
The *Tint* When squeezing the liquid out of it, a small amount will come out at a time (unless your me of course and squeezed it abit too hard and half of it comes out by accident), so you can start off with a little bit at a time and you shouldn't waste any of it. The colour I have is in "natural", im unsure if it comes in other colours though, i can't quite remember. But it is a nice light brown colour, a bit like hot chocolate type of colour. Your meant to apply the cream evenly by gently massaging into the skin using small upward, circular strokes. I don't think it matters what way you do it though really because once the cream has dried, you can see where the tint has dried too, and it pretty much looks like you put fake tan on your face and you've done a bad job of it. The tint in my opinion has it's own advantages and disadvantages, what i usually do to cover up the tints that may look uneven, is to put on a light bronzer on over the top that way you still have the tint adn you can't tell where you've missed bits and it may cover up the shinyness too.
The advantages of the whole product are it has UVA/UVB protection in combination with vitamin E, I like to know that what's going on my skin is helping it. It has been dermatologically approved, and does make your skin smooth. The disadvantages however are beware of a shiny face and having to put powder over it to cover the shine, and if not moisturised in thoroughly then streaks of the tint may be left over and fairly noticeable. Overall, i wouldn't really recommend this product, you might as well just use proper face tan and a good moisturiser to get the same effects.
