Can anyone recommend a tinted sunscreen?

I have pale skin and like to use sunscreen each day, preferably a tinted one that evens skin tone too.

I am currently using Garnier BB cream but I find it too thick, sticky and dark for my skin.

Can anyone recommend anything? I have seen Trinny's BFF but it's pricey, which is fine if it's good but I don't want to splash out again if it's not suitable for me.

Thanks Smile

I did have Bare Minerals complexion rescue previous too but can't remember the shade - there's no where near where I live to try it - and can't remember if the sun protection was any good!

I use Heliocare fluid cream which has a tint but isn’t designed as a base IYSWIM, but whilst it is still tacky I apply a light reflecting concealer around eyes and nose and then dust on Hourglass Dim Light.
So yes that £100 of stuff but it all lasts ages and I get a really natural healthy glow to my pale skin. The sunscreen as a sunscreen performs really well too as it’s factor 50.
I’ve copied most of this approach from beauty and the boutique, the only thing I changed was the powder.

Revolution Pro do foundation drops. You could use any sunscreen that suits you and add a drop or two for light coverage.

Following as I used to love Clinique's cityblock, but they've changed the formulation and it now seems so oily, completely different to the lovely finish it had before. I hate it when they change products you love!

Origins do a great 40 SPF which is tinted. However, think it's only a shade for Caucasian skin unfortunately

I really rate the Dr Sam one.

The bottle is hopeless but the formula is fab

Thanks so much, a few here I haven't tried yet. Much appreciated!

I use the Ultra Sun tinted version and love it

Benefit Protection Rescue Tinted Veil has a spf of 30. It's one colour only, suitable for everyone. Very light coverage but I like it.

I like the La Roche Posay one, you only need a tiny bit

Altruist do one in a green bottle that was £12 on Amazon & it was great.
