Whenever Clinique launch a new base product, there’s always a lot of hype on social media and the Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator SPF25 is their newest base launch to the range.
It looks as if the product originally launched in Australia first, and has now made its way to the US so hopefully it won’t be long before it launches in the UK too.
Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator SPF25
The Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator SPF25 is described as being a tinted hydrator that provides 12 hours of hydration, complexion perfection and protection all in one.
With a sweat- and humidity-resistant formula that leaves the skin with a fresh, natural finish all day, and is oil-free too.
I really like how minimal the packaging is. I know Clinique as a whole, are quite minimalistic with their packaging designs anyway.
However, the Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator SPF25 is packaged within a pastel pink, squeezy plastic tube so you can squeeze out every last drop with no wastage, and it’s perfect for travel too.
Combining powerful hydrating ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and activated aloe water to keep the skin plumped and dewy for upto twelve hours. The sheer tint perfects the skin, and covers a wide range of skintones.
The Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator SPF25 supposedly features mimetic-shade technology which means each sheer, perfecting shade blends flawlessly with a range of skintones.
Hyaluronic acid and activated aloe water helps to keep the skin hydrated for upto 12 hours. SPF25 and antioxidants help shield the skin from the harmful effects of UV, pollution, pollen and other impurities.
I absolutely love the Clinique Moisture Surge collection, so I’m definitely intrigued that they’ve launched a base product within the Moisture Surge collection.
The collection is all about the hydration, and the mask is my favourite face mask of all time, so I do really want to try the new Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator SPF25, although I’m not sure I’d be able to find a decent shade match.

Directions

This new base product is only available in seven shades, but Clinique launched this image to show the different shades of their other foundations and which shade of the Clinique Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator SPF25 they’d match.
I have to admit, I am so sceptical on this whole shade match technology which brands use. It either matches you or it doesn’t, but as this particular product is so sheer, it’s supposed to make it more flexible for different skintones.
Looking at the images of the models in the ‘very light’ category, they don’t look light, never mind very light, so I don’t think I’d be able to find a shade match which is a shame as I really like the sound of the formula.
If you were able to find a shade match, the formula sounds so lovely and promising. Maybe they’ll introduce more shades as time goes on? If you want to give it a try, it’s available right now.
