So the packaging changed...
So the packaging has changed, and the upsides they were previously advertising are no longer on the tube. It used to be 'whitening' but now that's nowhere to be seen. And it used to help with wrinkles, but again that's gone (skinsider really needs to update the picture, which as of writing features the old version.) Regarding the shade it's almost exactly the same, almost... it's slightly more yellow now. I use a slightly yellow setting powder and I found that together the newer version on my skin looks a little unnatural. I think the shade is still somewhat nice, though I have noticed it lacks that pretty pale pink sheen it had when you look at it from certain angles. And I really really loved that sheen. The newer version does seem to be more moisturising though, it settles on my skin like another layer of skin and it does this flawlessly. The older version I used sat a little 'creasy' on my skin here and there and if you're having a stressful day with lack of hydration it can show. My only comment is that the new version is shinier, so you'll want to use a more mattifying setter on top, and less illuminator. As an addendum, my observations could all just be down to batch and age. The older version I am using is a few years old now! I'll probably throw out the old one, purely because the newer one seems to sit better overall, and let's face it, it's not healthy to wear old makeup!
