I bought a sunscreen sampler from Sephora a few weeks ago and I'm bound and determined to try everything in there. I didn't do a lot of research before I made the purchase so I was pleasantly surprised to discover it wasn't just straight up sunscreen but instead included foundation primers, lip balm, etc.
I decided to try the Brite Prep Fx first. It is a foundation primer, so I was able to use it instead of my Bare Escentuals Prime Time primer. Since it was SPF 50, I used it alone (under my SPF 15 makeup).
It worked like a charm. It went on easily, like the BE primer (the only other kind I've used). It evened out my skin's texture and tone. Make-up went on easily over it and it seemed to be very effective in the sun. I wore it for an outdoor concert which involved hours in the sun. I didn't notice any color at all.
When I set out on my mission to review sunscreens, I didn't want to know the retail prices, but I peaked and saw the price for this was $45. I think that's totally worth it, given that it is an effective sunscreen and makeup primer all in one.
