What They Say: "15-hour wear. Light as air. Long-wear makeup is now lightweight makeup. Fresh, natural, comfortable. Goes on sheer, leaves skin free to breathe all day. Controls oil, resists smudging and won't "melt" off through heat and humidity. For a look that stays vibrant and fresh whether it's a workday, a workout or a weekend. It's makeup that keeps up. Smooth it on once and don't think twice about it. Oil-free. Photo-friendly. Fragrance-free. Non-acnegenic. Dermatologist-tested."

Jen's Experience: Those of you who have been reading this site for a while might know that in the summer I usually switch from my heavier-coverage foundation to a tinted moisturizer so that my skin can breathe a little more easily in the blazing heat. When this product first came on the market, I really thought that it was more of a tinted moisturizer (maybe because it has SPF?) but I was surprised when I first started using it that it really is just a lighter version of their Double Wear foundation. I absolutely love the original, and I'm pretty sold on this lighter version too. While the original formula is more of a heavy coverage, this one is light to medium (building pretty easily to medium, actually). I don't know if it stays for a full 15 hours, but I do know that it stays throughout my workday without a singe touch-up, and that alone is fantastic. This is also a lot easier to remove than the original formula using just normal soap and water. I was really looking for something a bit lighter for the summer months, but instead I found a stellar all-around foundation that just works as expected. Those looking for sheer coverage and breathability might be a disappointed in this one, but I am very pleased with it and I think that it will be staying in my rotation year-round.
