When I first used this product it seemed like it didn't work. Be patient. It is NOT an immediate reaction to ones skin. I have vitiligo and that's why I use it. You have to master the use of the wand/applicator, it is not hard. You must put a few coats on to see the colour on your skin, again, be patient. Its a good thing it is a bit progressive, that way one doesn't OVER colour themselves. I have now achieved a perfect blend to my skin(face). I have not used it anywhere else, just my face. My face vitiligo only bothers me. I have used from high end very expensive make up down to the cheap stuff, and for me it is a very trying experience, especially due to sweating, I still buy the waterproof(HA! yeah right)colour stay stuff. A helpful makeup tip...buy a few colours(I use liquid...I hate powder) and mix up a few very small batches of colour and do test areas. I am Caucasian and tan at the hint of sunlight. I have no idea for other skin colours/tones. Hopes this helps. Currently I am able to use just the chromelin without foundation/coverup...luck!
