Would this do well under makeup? Does it take long to dry &amp; absorb? Does it leave a white cast? Can you compare to Burnout Kids, Babo Botanicals, etc?

Its light but slightly greasy and takes a bit to seep in. Yes, it does leave a white/brighter film on the skin. It has an awesome citrus smell. I'm not familiar with the other brands you've mentioned. We have stayed with California Baby as it's the only one that genuinely prevents sunburn for our child.

I didn't notice a white cast if you rub it in really well. If you put it on thick, then yes it is white. I didn't find it to be greasy, but it feels pretty much like all sunscreens. Generally, I don't like the way sunscreen feels on my skin, but I know it is necessary to use it. Since Kiss My Face is mineral based, I know it is better for my skin.

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

I have a deep tan complexion, and it does start off white-ish, but it is fine after it dries. I wear this with and without makeup.

Absolutely! You won't find a better moisturizer for under makeup (except perhaps for jojoba oil, which is the most like human skin oils). I wear only natural powders in small amounts but my friends who wear more foundation tell me they like to apply the moisturizer right out of the shower and then wait 5-10 minutes before applying makeup to be sure the oil soaks in. I've had no issues whatsoever with my bare minerals and I swear I look younger!

I have used it successfully under my eye to bring down swelling from another product that caused massive irritation. I applied it and immediately noticed the menthol sensation (keep it away from your tear ducts! If it gets in there rinse with eye drops immediately) which was quite pronounced. I gave it about 20 or 30 secs then applied a coat of Rimmel stay matte foundation (this is similiar to Tarte's full coverage amazonian clay foundation) over it as a concealer/vapor barrier and then I was good to go. The quelling of puffiness is not immediate. I'd say it took a few hours at work before it went down, but when it did I was elated! Hope this helps:) I have used it successfully under my eye to bring down swelling from another product that caused massive irritation.

I use it for my face - works extremely well under makeup. My husband also likes it for his bald head.

That is a great question!! After I received it, I wondered the same thing. I used it over my regular makeup. For whatever reason, I have stopped using this. Probably because I am a mom to 3 little ones and a PE teacher. I wear makeup everyday-just haven't reached for this stuff in a while.

I have dry skin so I cant tell you if it works to hide the oiliness, but I love this powder, my only problem is that you cant go heavy handed cause you would look like a ghost on pictures. but if you use it correctly it gives a nice matte finish

I don't have facial hair, but I have worn this under makeup which can be equally tricky! I didn't have any issues with build up in certain areas like other mineral based sunscreens. It blends in nicely, isn't too greasy or thick and has with no white cast after rubbing it in. I think you could use this product and not have any problems.

Have you been using the product still? How is it? i'm 29 years old thinking of trying it. I use the BE Makeup.

After I am done with my shower I apply Oz serum let it dry completely . Then I apply the "C" and allow to dry. After that I apply my liquid foundation and it stays perfect all day. This morning I was in a rush and forgot both! Not happy because I can tell the difference without it. Trust me!

It does leave a bit of a white cast, but I find it (the white cast) doesn't last too long. It will look like normal after a bit!

I wouldn't recommend it: I have a dry skin and I made a mistake of getting this makeup. My skin looks and feels dry and ashy with this makeup. The regular ( not matte) is much better.

I have, and it worked just fine. The application has to be light or it can look pasty. I use it for everything, even eye cream when my skin feels dry. I can't say enough about it. Really one of my favorite products on the market.

I have been using it that way, but since I use it in the morning and evening, most of the time I am putting it on before you put makeup on. The directions say to put it on clean dry skin, but don't say anything about makeup. You rub it into the spots until absorbed, so make really should not affect it.

Burnout used to be great but after the new formulation, it's horrible. Thinkbaby is slightly thicker then the old/better/lotiony version of Burnout but not bad. I haven't tried Babo, but I'd recommend Thinkbaby over BabyGanics, California Baby, Elemental Herbs, Badger, and Babyhampton for under-makeup.
