Way too thick for regular makeup application!

A Sephora employee recommended this product to me, since she said it would be really helpful for covering acne problem-areas that I brought up were an issue. I was super underwhelmed with this product- it is very putty-like and much too thick compared to more regular makeup. It just doesn't work for me. A friend recommended trying it as a base for eyeshadow, so I'll have to give that a try!
