This one for sure needs powder IMO . The L’Oréal tinted balm while a good alternative for other high end balms it for sure needs to be set unless maybe have super dry skin. I am normal leaning dry and it clung and emphasized so much texture and my husband who never says a word about my makeup said that makeup is shiny . 😖 I do like it set however! #foundationreview #weartest #affordablefoundation
