I am a high returner of skin care and makeup products, as I search for the right products after a lifetime of wearing little to no makeup and using plain soap and water as my skin care regime. I am not returning this one. I almost wonder if I have a different product than others, but I didn't notice any glitter, nor did I notice any orange glow. Frankly, I was expecting an apricot-colored gel-like translucent product, but what I got looked like regular tan makeup to me, though with a somehwat fluffier texture. IN any case, it went on more smoothly than regular foundation does, and left a mild coloring of the skin. The color is not as dense as in regular makeup, so I don't have to be really careful about applying and blending, etc., just rub it in and go.
