</span> <b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pros:</span></b><br>
<ul><li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">easy to use</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">feels lightweight</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">safe to use without worrying about burning your hands or face</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">automatically shuts off in 60 minutes</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">cuts curling time in half</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">heats up fast</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">has an anti-tangle sensor</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">has a steamer function</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">has 3 time settings</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">has 3 temperature settings</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">multiple curl direction</span></li>
</ul><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Cons:</span></b><br>
<ul><li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Beeping sound is a little bit loud</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Can be too bulky for travel (10.5 inches x 3.15 inches x 5 inches)</span></li>

It looks bright when swatched on my arms, but when applied to my cheeks, it looks more wearable and flattering on my warm, NC30/35 skin tone.</span></span></li>

The ones in the Nars palette last at least 8 hours without fading when worn over foundation + setting powder. (For reference, I have cheeks that are neither dry nor oily.)</span></span></div><br>

So, it's great for travel. I like that it allows you to see when you're running low on the product. It also has an </span></span></span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">airless pump, which makes it easy to get out every last bit without wasting a single drop.</span></span></div><br>

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><b style="color: black;">Color: </b><span style="color: #666666;">It currently comes in 24 shades. Those ending in ".5" have a cool undertone, while those ending in "0" have a warm undertone. It also oxidizes just a tiny little bit within a few seconds of application. I didn't experience any oxidation throughout the day and it didn't make me oompa loompa orange like other reviewers have mentioned. Shade 4.0 has a strong yellow undertone and matches my NC30/35 skin tone perfectly. (For reference, my other foundation shades are L'oreal True Match W4, Dior 021 mixed with 031 and Burberry Cashmere in Beige No.26.)</span></span></span></div><br>
