Clinique Almost Makeup SPF15

Clinique Almost MakeupA sheer coverage foundation with is very light and comfortable to wear. Gives a nice tone to the skin and evens out any light blemishes. Gives a dewy, natural finish to the skin - you won't look over made-up.

It claims to be waterproof - we question this! Its fine in the rain, but it didn't stand up that well to swimming - it didn't streak though, just came off!

If you top up make-up through the day this could be a could foundation to have at hand as it applies well over powders and other make-up, so you won't have to start from scratch.

Smashbox Backdrop Cooling Tint SPF15

Smashbox Backdrop Cooling TintMore than a tinted moisturiser, this is a good light and sheer foundation for those who like some coverage but nothing too heavy.

Gives an even coverage and feels light and cooling on the skin - a great one for summer and those who suffer from hot flushes! The cooling sensation lasts a good part of the day, though you may want to top up through the day if you like the cooling element.

A litle goes a long way, so this is great value. Goes even further if you use with a foundation brush (our testers found this a very worthwhile investment).

A good range of shades.
