Tinted SPF for non makeup days

[FGJunkie]

As title says! Having a hard time finding something I like. I’m currently using a naked sundays one but it’s a bit too sticky and more of a primer than a sunscreen.

requirements:
cruelty free
light coverage
not oily or sticky
available worldwide (I’m not in the UK)

my current one is great under makeup so I really just want one for my slob days where the only thing I do is walk the dog. Price is not an issue.

thanks!

If I want a more "covered" look then I will mix it with foundation or use setting powder on top and never had any issues

Ultra Violette is great also Elta MD is tinted and very nice.

I’ve been looking at ultra Violette, I might have to make the hike to Sephora and see them in person 😃

They do a non tinted version too, and a bronzer shade I think

I wear the supreme screen daily. Doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything. I got a sample of their Daydream tinted screen which is also really nice, doesn't look like I've got anything on just a nice healthy glow.

Problem with all of them is that to get the spf stared, you need to use enough. And that is as a rule, 1/4 teaspoon for face. It's more than people think. It's two whole finger lengths. Squirt along two full finger lengths.
People dot it on and spread it and get about spf 5 or 7. In particular when it is a primer as NO ONE wears enough to get the stated spf because primer is not supposed to be worn in those quantities.

This much is needed to get the stated spf

I use the correct amount of ultra Violette but put it in in layers so it doesn't feel sticky.

I really like ultraviolet it's a lovely light texture.

But the Dr Sam tinted is fab too I have the subscription I am a big fan I don't need to wear foundation with it. You need 6 pumps I believe to get the coverage.

If anyone wants to try this gives you £10 off (me too!)

Just checked for you Dr Sam cruelty free says in their faq

I really like this & it ticks all of your boxes:

It's enough coverage that I don't need to wear foundation most days now.

I would interpret a tinted SPF as a sun protection product, not a tinted moisturiser like the Laura Mercier/Nars/Bare Minerals options. I use these products but would never just wear/rely on them alone. They are not tinted SPFs, they are tinted moisturisers with a little SPF. You wouldn’t use enough to get full sun protection.

It kind of depends on what your skin tint is naturally. I use this (skin very pale).

Thank you so much guys, finally found a couple of good products to try I think! My bank account will be sad on Monday 🤣

Liz Earl sold her company and the products are now sold in mainland China, so no longer cruelty free.

Oh that’s a shame, from my googling I couldn’t find it where I live anyway 🤣

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue has SPF 30 and is cruelty free. It's a little more coverage than a tinted moisturizer but is less than a foundation.

I use this, it gives a nice light tanned look, I am very pale.

I’ve been playing with dcypher.me tint drops in my usual spf and think it is a winner…

I like the Paula's Choice Super-light SPF30 mineral sunscreen. It's very lightly tinted and looks good on fair skin. It's not oily or sticky and doesn't sting the eyes because it has no chemical sunscreens. https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/paula-s-choice-resist-super-light-daily-wrinkle-defense-spf30-60ml/11174229.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&shoppingpid=suncare_fndd_1906&gclid=CjwKCAjwue6hBhBVEiwA9YTx8MyfzQyJBeau96gTI4pFPfKVucj-Ca00pYb-CHi1T3rEOkHCmY-42BoCO14QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I use ultrasun

La Roche posay

Anyone know of a good one for medium coloured skin, most I have tried are too light.
