About Ciele Cosmetics and the Tint & Protect Serum

Celebrity makeup artist Nikki DeRoest has launched her own makeup line, Ciele Cosmetics, in partnership with beauty-industry veteran Cerre Francis. The line focuses on SPF and non pore-clogging, good-for-you ingredients. The hero product is the Tint & Protect SPF 50+ Serum, a lightweight serum foundation with a dewy finish and buildable formula. It's available in 13 shades and offers broad spectrum SPF 50+ protection against UVA, UVB, blue light, and infrared.

What I Like About Ciele Tint & Protect Serum

The texture of this serum is amazing—it glides onto the skin and sinks in within seconds. It's also long-wearing, maintaining its dewy finish throughout the day without settling into creases or feeling heavy or sticky. It provides a second-skin-like feel, perfect for a lightweight foundation.

How to Use the Ciele Tint & Protect Serum

For an extra dewy finish, use the free Blending Sponge that comes with every purchase. Wet the sponge slightly, add about 6 drops of the serum to the back of your hand, and apply with the sponge for even, lightweight coverage. Alternatively, you can use the Complexion Brush for more coverage or the dropper to apply directly onto your face and blend with your fingers.

What to Consider About the Ciele Tint & Protect Serum

While the serum has a high SPF, it's important to also wear regular SPF underneath and reapply throughout the day for complete sun protection. The finish of the serum is dewy, so if you prefer a matte look, this may not be the best option for you.
