What the gurus are saying

The gurus split on this one. One found it layers beautifully under makeup with a hydrating, non-greasy feel and no white cast, making it work across skin types and tones without feeling heavy on reapplication. However, the other felt the texture (while primer-like and foundation-friendly) didn't justify the price tag for what they saw as older-style filters at a premium cost. Those drawn to a more moisturizing sunscreen may appreciate the cocoon-like hydration, but anyone prioritizing lightweight coverage may want to consider the investment first.

"Then I Met You one is a bit like a primer and like the best under makeup. It definitely from the appearances of people trying on has a nice gripping texture, so great if you want to put foundation over the top of it. However, I think those old style filters for $36 that's too much, that is way way way too much."

"I love the Essence Light Sunscreen. It's a perfect sunscreen and moisturizer in one. In the daytime you could even skip your moisturizer and go straight into the Essence Light Sunscreen for all skin types and all skin tones, and it just makes your skin so glowy. It's my version of the Korean sunscreen. It's not as lightweight as the ones that drip on your skin, but I like hydration. I like for my sunscreen to feel like it's cocoon your skin. It doesn't leave a white cast and it just makes your skin glowy. It's not greasy, so if you're out you can reapply every two hours and you're not going to feel bogged down. It layers really well under makeup and it doesn't pill."
