The tan itself is really not greasy and works with pretty much every skin tone, but it is a really nice base to put your make-up on top of or it works as a way to a achieve a more natural look. Benefit claim that this tan will not be removed without washing your face or using a cleanser however I would say that it is like most make-up and will sweat off your face. For the price which is a long the same line as any Benefit product it is expensive especially for what it is. Despite the fact that it has an spf in it I would say that using "Jiffy Tan" another Benefit product is just as good and achieves the same effect and means you don't have to buy two separate products. It is good and if you like separate products for different areas then great but if your not fussy don't bother just buy "Jiffy Tan" and use it for both.
