"During the day I use AmorePacific's Moisture Bound Tinted Treatment Moisturizer SPF 15 (#104). I've been using this product for years! Having combination skin, it has proven to never break me out and provide hydration to the areas I need…not to mention providing necessary sun protection. If I want more coverage for special events, I turn to Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation (#5.5). I can apply this foundation, and it stays put for hours."
