  • It fuses coverage, care, and protection in one step, shrinking morning routines without sacrificing polish.

Why It Took Off

Natural makeup

“No-makeup makeup” made skin-like tints the default base for daytime.

Sunscreen everyday

Creators proved you can reapply over makeup without pilling and seamless blend, making all-day SPF realistic.

Fast beauty hacks

Creators showed fast, one-pump routines and lunchtime reapply hacks that fit busy lifestyles.

Hybrid beauty

The Verdict

9/10

Creator adoption is strong thanks to simplified routines and filter-like blur, and multiple hero SKUs are now category anchors. A few brands still face shade-match friction and “how to reapply over makeup” questions, keeping it just shy of peak heat.
