About this product
KATE Protection Expert UV Base Tone Up Lasting is a light blue-tinted primer that brightens dull, uneven skin while delivering SPF50+/PA++++ sun protection — one of the highest UV ratings in the KATE base lineup — without leaving a white cast.
How to use
- Apply a small amount over freshly moisturized skin, blending evenly across the face.
- Pay extra attention to areas prone to dullness, like the inner cheeks and under-eyes.
- Set with foundation or powder as usual; carry it for touch-ups if you're out in direct sun most of the day.

FAQ
Will the blue tint look unnatural on my skin tone?
It's designed to diffuse light rather than sit as visible color, so it corrects dullness without an obvious blue or white cast once blended.
Is PA++++ overkill for everyday wear?
It's there for extra protection on high-UV days; it layers just as easily under makeup on lower-exposure days.
🇺🇸 For US customers
For the 'my skin but brighter' crowd who've discovered Japanese tone-up bases through J-beauty forums, KATE's Tone Up Lasting is the SPF50+/PA++++ pick worth seeking out — a color-correcting blue primer that fights dullness the way Western sunscreens rarely do, minus the white cast.
