Coffee Break: The Uniform

I really like this tinted sunscreen from Merit that I was gifted … especially compared to a few others I've tried.

Now, I will fully grant that this may be because I didn't get the palest shade (as I normally do) but instead got the palest neutral shade… but I think the things I like about it aren't just about the color. I feel like a little bit goes a long way and it evens my skintone. I like that it doesn't sink into my pores (the way the Jones Road tinted moisturizer did). I like that it doesn't feel like anything on my face, either in a drying or greasy way (the way the Bare minerals or Fenty tinted sunscreens did). I also like that the product has a nice texture — it isn't runny (like some of the skin tints out there) or goopy.

I always worry that these sunscreen+ products aren't great as actual sunscreens (you need to apply quite a bit to get the benefit for most sunscreens — but maybe that's different for zinc oxide products?!), but in the winter I'm reluctant to wear sunscreen anyway, so this feels like a slightly indulgent compromise.

The Uniform comes in 15 colors for $38; you can get it at Sephora and Merit.com.
