I'd definitely recommend buying samples of this before committing to a full size bottle - from the online images there were several shades that looked like they might work for me, but I ended up with a darker one than I'd ever have chosen as the others oxidised spectacularly within minutes rendering them super orangey. They also give much more coverage than the 'flexible' description suggests so I don't rely on this as my only SPF (the coverage would be way too much), and apply just a few drops over top of my untinted SPF 50.

I'm really glad you can buy the sample packs. I thought for sure I would be a V6 but it was a bit too yellow for me and V5 is perfect. The product is super lightweight and blends nicely. I'm going to order the full size V5 now!

I ended up getting 2x sample packs. Used V7 way to dark. Now on V6 and will end up buying either V5 or V4 for the cooler months when I’m not tanned. This goes on like a dream. Little oily when I’ve been working the entire day and running around- but I chuck a translucent powder if I want to change up the look. Builds really nicely with the right brush. Hides darker little spots on my face easily. It’s a nice consistency. I sweat in it, swim in it! It’s such a beautiful product. I use it everyday! X

I was matched to shade V3 based on my inputs of four foundation shades I can wear. My skin is a light neutral olive. V3 turned out to be very orange on me. V2 worked much better in that it’s more neutral on me, albeit a bit light. I am glad I purchased this sample pack, because I would have been very disappointed (and orange) if I purchased V3 according to the shade finder.

Such a great idea to offer samples in three shades. I got the shade 6 sample which came with 5 and 7, and I like 5 best. The product is as described. Great buildable coverage, lightweight texture. I added some nude by nature finishing powder on top for a more matte look (first photo without powder, second with powder). Love it.
