Review

Presenting…. my face wearing sunscreen/makeup-base! (and brows hehehe). You can notice my skin looks moisturized, radiant, and glowing.

The packaging is a sleek aluminum tube with a plastic cap. This looks more environmentally friendly than it’s predecessors in a plastic bottle. Travel-friendly!

Sticky? Nope not at all. It has a silicone feel that spreads on easily on my face. The “micro shimmers” are indeed micro in size because they’re not visible with flash, without flash, and natural light. It just makes your skin look healthy. Feels matte. Looks radiant.

I don’t recommend this if you’re acne-prone because it can intensely highlight imperfections. They do have a matte version as an alternative.

How much do I apply? A pea-size per area. I don’t scrimp on sunblock. Sometimes I put even more. I also retouch mid-day but using powders with SPF, because it’s hard to re-cleanse and re-apply makeup allover.

It feels light, and not-sticky. Perfect for use as base to make your foundation last longer. Sweat-proof. Water-proof with SPF50. Gotta love the multi-purpose function. Quite affordable too at 450php per tube.

Con? It stings the eye. Sometimes I just can’t help but rub my eye, and it stings. A lot. It hurts.
