Product Review - Estee Lauder Day Wear Sheer Tint Release Advance Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Moisturizer SPF 15


A favourite product of mine at the moment is the Estee Lauder Day Wear Sheer Tint Release.  I had been looking for a product like this for sometime; something designed to achieve a healthy and even complexion, that could also be worn during the day, with or without foundation.  I heard about this product from a fellow makeup artist and decided to try it out.

To the touch it has a light grey-ish colour with a grainy texture, but once applied it blends well and you quickly notice improvement in your skin tone.  It has a slight tint to it but doesn't give you full coverage; if 'full coverage' is something your looking for, then this product is best used under your foundation.  It also has a fresh pleasant mild scent, reminiscent of cucumber; if that is not your thing you may want to do a sniff test before purchasing.

What I love about this product is you can use it all year round. In summer you can wear it with a slick of mascara, a little cream blush and a touch of pretty gloss on your lips. Or during winter, when you want to liven up your complexion with a hint of colour, you can simply apply it as a base, under your foundation.

The only downside, if anything, is it only offers SPF 15 protection - given my usage I would have preferred a factor of  at least SPF 30. Saying that however, this product is a must have in my makeup bag. I'd be interested to know if you have tried it and what you think.
