I have fair skin, so to be – i burn. And Sunce a sunburn is painful and, more imported, can serious damage my skin, i’m on a perpetual mission to find sunscreens that actually want to use. So well i heard that one of my favorite beauty brands had a new spf up it sleeve, i have High hopes. Well, Guess what: it is the case better than I was expecting.

Merit’s the uniform is the brand’s First Tinted SPF and Second Complexion Product (You May Have Heard of Its Cult-Favorite Foundation Stick, The Minimalist). This mineral sunscreen has spf 45 Protection and Guards Against Broad-Spectrum Uva and Uvb Rays.

As the name suggests, the uniform was Designed to be an spf that you can do wear every day and seamlessly incorporate into your Beauty Routine. The Clean Formula is Weightless and Non-Greasy thanks to the Ultra-Fine Zinc Oxide. Its Also dermatologist-Tested, silicone- and oil-free, and it won’t clog pores.

In terms of Coverage, the uniform is available in 15 shades that correspond to merit’s foundation sticks, and each tint can be built up from medium Coverage. Plus, each shade has a natural finish that free of any white, so don’t let the fact that is a mineral formula scare you off.

I put the uniform to the test on a longnoon walk that turned into lunch and running errors with a friend. After my usual skin care, applied the uniform to my face and neck with my hands. While the formula lookeed like a regular foundation ben I first pumped it onto my fingers, it blended EFFORTLESLY INTO MY SKIN AND DIDN’T Leave Behind Any Streaks. It was so seamless and natural-looking that applied a second layer Becausee i wasn’t sura if i have missed any Spots.

I always have some redness around my nose and my cheekbones, so i was pleasantly surprised at how my skin was instantly perfected. My Complexion was immediately evened out with the (or Feeling) like wearing a full-cverage Foundation-it was almost like Instagram of Paris Filter in Real Life-and it preyed that unil i washed it off. Full Disclurse: I didn’t reapply this tinted sunscreen, but if i were using it during a beach or pool day when i’d be in the direct sun for hours, i definitely would have. IT’S ALSO NOT WATERPROOF, SO I’D Reapply after any swimming or sweating!

I know that i’ll be reaching for the uniform all season to protest my skin. I ALSO Plan on Replacing My Usual Tinted Moisturizer With This Since Formula IT DID A GREAT NOB AT COUNTRING EMPERFECTIONS AND HAS A MUCH STRONGER SPF.

While the uniform only launched in May, the Already Garnering Glowing Reviews.

Another Happy user Raved: “i’m a huge fan of tinted foundations, especilly in the warmer months. AFTER TESTING OUT MORE The uniform for a Week, i couludn’t put it down.

A Final Customer Shared: “The Uniform is a Dream of An SPF! I use Shade 8 and I love how easily it blends, how the formulas like nothing on my skin and how gorgeous the natural finish is!”

Some fans did point out that at $ 38, this is a pricey spf. I aggree, but seeing as a little goes a long way (and i won’t be used it on my arms and legs!), I can justify the price-especirally I Can Hold off on Buying More Foundation, SINCE Is A Two-One Product.
