16 Best and Worst Sunscreens

UPDATE .... Not for me :(
I have been using this product for a long time now and have to update my review. Unfortunately, I had to also change the review from an 8 to a 6. :( I have tested this SPF in several different ways for awhile now and I know this SPF has a bit of a cult following. Here are my observations: 1. The texture feels nice initially, but then gets tacky and sticky after the application is complete. I also...read more found it to be not wearable under eye concealer/makeup. (the SPF "pilled" up on my face and it looked terrible) I tested this with other SPF's to make sure it was just this one, and as it turns out, it was. :( 2. The color is an attempt to compensate for the white mask; however, it only comes in one color and it is too pale for me and the majority of colors. 3. After I had bad luck with the product when using it with makeup, I decided to try it on my arms and hands instead. A few hours later I used the restroom, and when I washed my hands, an embarrassing amount of beige color went down the drain. I guess I expected it to melt into my skin and not be quite so obvious when wet. It was more intense that if I was washing foundation off my face. 4. I think this product would be fine with those for fair/light skin and when not applied under makeup or eye concealer. (I thought this would be a perfect SPF for the eye area since there is NO stinging, but it just caused my makeup to pill. The foundation I was using was Clinique Stay Matte and Clinique Perfectly Real with Maybelline Treatment & Concealer.) The worst part about this product is the stickiness; I have to wash my hands off right after as they feel so tacky afterwards. I am not a fan of the texture at all.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

If your foundation/powder has no SPF, apply this one
Some of my foundation/power products do not have any SPF. Before I use them, I apply Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25. It also helps foundation and power to stay on my face better and longer. SPF 25 is good enough, but of course if you are planning to stay outside longer (beach/mountain), I would recommend sunblock with higher SPF.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Love!
Usually cliniques liquid foundations or tint look like the color of hotdogs to me lol. Like this pink cast is in it. Anyway, I'm nevertheless always snooping around the clinique counter because they always have something new out. I saw this city block and I've heard of it but always thought it was like regular facial sunscreen. O was I wrong. It's a physical sunscreen so it's less likely to break ...read moreyou out. It's tinted and it's not pink or beige! Way to go clinique! I tested it out on my hand and it didn't turn orange. Its oil free but I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin unless you like the Dewey look like me. But it's not overly Dewey like Mac fThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 5 people said helpful
