It contains just the right amount of oil, so the foundation spreads easily and fits nicely afterwards. It doesn't have much coverage, but I think it pairs well with liquid foundation.
I bought the sheer shade. It doesn't contain any UV absorbers, so I can use it with confidence. I was worried about whether it would leave a white cast, but it blends in with my skin so I didn't have to worry about it.
I've been using this product for about two years now. It doesn't come off even when I put makeup on top of it, and it goes well with any other cosmetics. It also has SPF, so I feel safe in the summer.
I use three or four different sunscreens depending on the weather and my skin condition. I usually use ACSEINE's face and body sunscreen, Dr. Sowa, or Dr. Woo, but I've always found Dr. Woo to be a bit of a drag, so I bought this one from Clinique for the first time in a while. I chose the tint, which has a subtle color. The texture is similar to Dr. Woo, but it doesn't have that slippery feel. It doesn't stay on the skin, but it does stay on the skin properly once you apply it. I remember Clinique's City Block used to be popular for its UV protection and pollution blocking, so this one seems to be effective. For now, I'll give it four stars and see how it goes.
The Even Better Lotion set came with a mini size, so I used it right away. It's a sunscreen lotion that can be used when you're going out for a bit. I like how it absorbs easily into the skin and is smooth. What I like most about it is that it doesn't need to be removed with makeup remover; just a regular face wash will do the trick. This sunscreen lotion is perfect for when you're just going out for a bit and don't want to bother removing your makeup. It has a strong SPF rating of SPF50 PA++++, which makes me wish it was available in the summer, so it's an item I'd use on days with strong UV rays. It wasn't recommended as a makeup base, so it might not be as useful as that, but I think it would have been quite useful in the summer.
