Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50

Great color on my tan skin and great protection. I wear under makeup and my makeup goes on perfectly over the top.

This is such a nice tinted sunblock, especially for older skin. Do your regular skin care, serums, ect., once they have absorbed, apply this rather than foundation. It is lightweight and not greasy. Use a setting spray for extra hold. I even use it on my hands and arms. It doesn't look like makeup but gives a nice subtle even coverage. I use the classic which has a pinker undertone. The glow has a bit of a glimmer and is a touch more yellow.

TLDR:I got bronze and matte formulas and I have oily skin. I’m very happy with these. Bronze is a perfect match until it oxidizes so I mix it with medium for the perfect shade. Bronze will be flexible across a wide range of skin tones. Matte formula is perfect on its own, more like a satin matte finish. I think matte has less pigment than bronze. Both are easy to apply and reapply, blends nicely, zero white cast- no Casper.What I liked:I really like the finish on these. I have oily skin and these work well for me. They don’t burn my eyes. Bronze gives a little glow while matte tones down the shine but it’s not too matte, more like satin matte. I can wear matte on its own but I have to mix bronze with medium because it oxidizes after a few minutes.These are both great options for daily wear.What could be better:I wouldn’t change anything about the matte formula. I wish the bronze formula had a touch less pigment, if it was slightly more sheer but it’s not a deal breaker.Skin tone:For reference, I usually have to mix shades to get my perfect match. But my skin tone tans very easily and is lighter in winter, darker in summer. So I mix medium with bronze or tan. Some of my foundation colors if it helps you: Armani 7.8, Hourglass 11, EL DW 4N2, MUFE 3N42, NARS Aruba, Dior 4N, Haus Labs 330.Would I recommend:Yes! This is best for brown girls who want a tinted sunscreen without a white cast. And it’s even for lighter people who want to bronze up their skin.About my photos/video:Photos show me wearing each formula as well as swatches.Hope this helps!

This sunscreen is a little expensive but really good, it lasts a long time and offers great coverage to the skin, it protects you from UV light and blue light, it has moisturizing and depigmenting ingredients if you suffer from melasma, it works perfectly a base if you don't like to wear makeup, without a doubt a good product that meets your expectations, I would buy it again I hope my comment is useful to you.

I only deducted a star because it was not perfect for “all skin tones”. I am very pale with cool pink undertone. Where it does give me “healthy color” without being orange (after waiting 15-20 minutes for the color to settle.), which is something I have never had before with a bronzer. I’m impressed. But… as you can see I the photo, you can clearly see where the spf ends and my shoulders begin. I prefer something more subtle so if I decide to take change my top or if my strap moves you don’t see the stark alabaster skin line. That said, if I was going to be fastidious about where my close rest on me, this would be wonderful.Ok now the pros:Goes on like a dream. Unscented, but the smell of the ingredients is subtle (maybe some Shea butter scent? It’s so light I can’t place it) and goes away after about 20 minutes. I have very dry, extremely sensitive skin. I mean… VERY sensitive. This feels like a high end thicker moisturizing cream/balm, but had zero stickiness or oily feeling. When I first saw the deep brown bronze color in the drops j put on my fingertips and then the orangy tint as I first put it on I started to panic. Thankfully it blended in quite well. I have NEVER had a bronzer look natural or not orange on me. So the product base is exquisite. I have bought over 27 face sunscreen products this year trying to find anything my skin would play nice with and my skin actually LOVES this. I further I have it on and I hugged my nesting partner who was wearing a light t-shirt and there was no transfer or oily blotches on his shirt as I have had with most others. I used the original version of this that has a neutral beige tint, the formulas feel identical, though I have not checked the ingredients. What is important here is it layers beautifully! I had the bronze on and because 2 hours had gone by I put the original over it and wow, I love the effect! I still can’t feel it on and it hasn’t pilled or left creases of product on my neck (unlike Elta MD Clear’s 2nd and 3rd 2hour reapplication layers.)Here is what I am squealing with excitement about. Not only does my skin adore this product feel and formulation, but it layers! I am going to try to contour myself with the bronze. Use the Original first, and add contours under my jaw, where blush would go and my temples, blending before the product dries. Because of the way the bronze didn’t shift when I applied the original on top, it is likely that when I apply the other layers of just the original every 2 hours, it should still look beautiful.I WILL be experimenting with how this works and how well it holds up to being outside, then update you here. (Currently I am outside less than an hour, but have enough windows o still get sun burned and sun angry red skin within 2 hours inside my home. So I still want to check for outside direct sunlight efficacy too.)(Before this I was using SuperGoop Unseen Sunscreen, but my face still got red/irritated and EltaMD UV Clear, which had less redness/irritation, but was still causing me mild redness. Everything else was either tacky, oily or had an unacceptably white cast. The closest to 3rd runner up was the “No more foundation” it’s cosmetics moisturizing spf cream. It moisturized with zero skin irritation and had fantastic spf, but I did look like I had a plastic mask which is jot my thing. It appears I have the best of what I adored about “No more foundation” and a clear or unnoticeable tinted spf that looks plausibly natural!)

This was recommended to me by my friend, who is a Physician Assistant. I was looking for something that wasn't heavy in this midwestern summer heat, and this product was perfect. I especially like the glow it leaves and do not mind having a lot of coverage. I'm almost 50 and ok w/ my sunspots showing. It's the perfect thing for me to wear on the weekends or even running errands. And can we get a bonus for it being SPF? A little does go a long way. There is still plenty left in the bottle and I've used it for almost 3 months. Hope this review was helpful!
