The smell is terrible—very sour. I use it as a makeup base. It spreads a bit heavily and feels thick, with a shine that makes it suitable only under foundation. It's a bit sticky, probably to help the foundation adhere better. I would recommend going with Catrice instead.
I bought this out of curiosity. I have shade number 20 (medium). In a well-known offline store, there are only three shades available: 10 seemed too pale, and 30 had a yellowish tint. Shade 20 is just like a light tan. I use it as a light foundation. It doesn’t have a glow effect for me, as it’s not a highlighter, but it does have a noticeable satin finish that slightly smooths pores and brightens the skin. The product sets well on the skin, doesn’t slide off, and bronzer and blush apply nicely on top of this booster. There’s no glitter or shimmer on the face. So far, I like it, but I’m giving it 4 stars because I’m still testing it out. My skin tends to be oily, but I don’t have major issues, just occasional breakouts. So if your skin is in good condition and you just need a bit of a glow, give it a try, especially since the price is reasonable.
