About this sunscreen
Lumene Blur Longwear Powder Foundation SPF 15 is a pure mineral makeup product using Zinc Oxide that adds light sun protection on top of coverage. It delivers a matte finish with low white cast, though as a powder it feels medium in weight and does not commonly sting. Its low pore-clogging profile suits oily and combination skin. With a score of 68.6/100 and only moderate protection at SPF 15, it should be treated as a cosmetic finishing layer, not a substitute for a dedicated sunscreen.

Does Lumene Blur Powder Foundation SPF 15 work as a sunscreen?
It adds only light protection. At SPF 15 with moderate protection from Zinc Oxide, it should be treated as a finishing makeup layer over a dedicated sunscreen, not as a replacement.
Is the Lumene Blur Longwear Powder Foundation SPF 15 good for oily skin?
Yes, it gives a matte finish and has a low pore-clogging tendency, so it is generally suited to oily and combination skin. As a powder it does not commonly sting.
Is it mineral or chemical?
It is a pure mineral product using Zinc Oxide for sun protection. It scores 68.6/100, reflecting its role as makeup with light SPF rather than a full sunscreen.
