Several reviewers object to an overly glowy or metallic finish and visible shimmer in certain lights (7 mentions of finish). Others report formula issues such as noticeable glitter/chunks, crumbly texture or unpleasant smell, and some find the product drying or prone to patchiness (7 mentions of formula, 3 mentions of skin compatibility, 3 mentions of evenness).
