Facial sunscreen with a skin perfecting or glowy finish

[LeeMiller]

I’ve no idea if this exists, but in the past I have had several body sunscreens that have the faintest amount of shimmer and tint in and leave skin looking glowy and even. In contrast, all the facial sunscreens I have tried are either drying or greasy, and need make up (tinted moisturiser, foundation etc) on top to look nice. Anything tinted is orange in my pale skin.

I live in a hot, humid country and sweat a lot in summer, so I try to avoid unnecessary layers on my skin as I sweat it off and I have to reapply frequently so makeup on top is inconvenient. I’m not looking for more tinted moisturiser as I don’t use enough to get the spf coverage, just actual sunscreen with some kind of hydrating, flattering finish, so day to day I can add concealer and go. Any ideas?

A bb cream, most have spf.

I use Super Goop Glow Screen, gives a glowy finish with a bit of colour.

I like the L'Oréal Bright Reveal tinted spf. Factor 50. I have 'pearl'. There's also a Garnier Vitamin C 'Glow' spf which is quite nice but a bit too tinted/glowy for me.
There are lots of pricier options at Space NK if you're looking for something more upmarket.

I use loads of different SPFs but one I go to from time to time that’s really glowy is Canmake Mermaid skin gel SPF 50. I mix it with Drunk Elephant bronzing drops if I want some colour. It’s lovely.
