About this sunscreen
Collistar Perfect Wear Foundation SPF 10 is a makeup foundation with a single chemical filter, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, so its sun protection is incidental rather than primary. It sets to a matte finish, stays lightweight, keeps white cast low, and works well as a makeup base since it is one. Its score of 49/100 reflects weak protection from the low SPF 10, so it should be layered over a dedicated sunscreen for real sun defense.

Is Collistar Perfect Wear Foundation SPF 10 enough sun protection?
Not on its own. It scores 49 out of 100 in our rating, with weak protection from the low SPF 10, so it is best layered over a dedicated sunscreen for real sun defense.
Does the Collistar Perfect Wear Foundation SPF 10 work as a makeup base?
It is a foundation, so it works well as a base by design. It sets matte, stays lightweight, and keeps white cast low.
Is it mineral or chemical?
Its sun filter is chemical. It contains a single filter, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, so its sun protection is incidental rather than primary.
