The Opte Precision Skincare device is here to challenge how we do our makeup. But will this new beauty tool really do away with our tried-and-true brushes and beloved foundations? The brand was generous enough to send us one of these highly-coveted devices to try, so I volunteered as tribute. Now I’m here to share whether this new beauty tool is a must or an overrated skincare bust.

Opte uses blue light technology to digitally scan your skin, analyze your complexion, and then works to camouflage age spots, sunspots, and hyperpigmentation on contact while fading their appearance over time. The new innovative technology (it’s been 10 years in the making) is said to be a skincare-meets-makeup routine that’s like, as Paris Hilton has said, “facetune” IRL. The star and socialite recently raved about the Opte system on her website, stating it’s one of her ‘top beauty secrets’ for flawless skin. She also gifted her BFF Kim Kardashian West with the Opte Precision Skincare system, and in the video the brand posted to Instagram, she tells her straight up, ‘it’s like Facetune.’

And with that, we were intrigued. So ET tapped their beauty editor, Kristen Gill (me), to give Opte a whirl.

I am 31-years-young, my skin is decently clear with a few sunspots and capillaries showing through under my eyes and around my nostril area with some texture on my cheeks. I’ve been using the Opte wand for almost three weeks now — hoping it would make my spots and things disappear… so let’s get into the details.
