"We're going to go into my Outset SPF. I love this stuff."
The BEST Beauty Products from August 😍
"This is from the brand The Outset. It's their Hydra Sheer 100% Mineral Sunscreen. This has an SPF of 30. The thing I love about this is the texture. It's so nice. It wears well underneath makeup. Wears great layered on top of other moisturizers. It is all mineral, which I personally prefer. It shears out really nicely. I personally don't get any sort of white cast or anything like that. But it is such a beautiful texture. It absorbs into the skin. It just leaves a nice finish. It's not too greasy feeling, which I love. And it has a very watery texture, so blends out seamlessly. And I've been using it every single day. I've really, really, really loved it. And again, it's great when I find a sunscreen that works underneath makeup. That's always kind of like my thing. It has to work underneath makeup."
