Does anyone have a favorite tinted sunscreen for face?

[diannkaye]

I am looking for a tinted face sunscreen for weekend use instead of a foundation or TM. Any recs?????

@diannkaye, Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays Skin Tint with Mineral Zinc SPF 30 is my favorite at the moment. I have combination skin - it leans dry in the cooler seasons and more oily in the summer months and the Tower 28 works for me year round. 

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 - Hydrating Foundation Formosa ST4 is also a good one; I reach for it more when my skin is dry or very dry.

I neglected to mention coverage on the lighter side- do these work? Is the Ilia runny? I seem to remember trying somethjing from them that was too runny for my liking

@diannkaye, the Tower 28 is light-medium coverage, buildable. It has more coverage than your traditional tinted moisturizer but can be sheered out. I tend to only use it where I needed coverage - conceal some redness on cheeks and around nose. The Ilia serum is on the runny side and I had some issues with it initially but learned to work with it. I've finished both products earlier this year (it took a while becuase a little goes a long way and there's a good amount of product in each tube/bottle). I'll be repurchasing the Tower 28. This might help to show the consistency of the two:

In terms of coverage, something in between that might be more to your liking, and more like the consistency of a traditional tinted moisturizer is NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer.

What shade did you get in the tower 28 one?

Thanks! I have been using TM's for years but always feel like sunscreen is a different need even when products have SPF. Was thinking mostly for weekends when I am really out and about

I agree @diannkaye. I don't rely on my products for sun protection and always apply a sunscreen.

That wa swhy I was hoping one of the newer tinted sunscreens would be a hit

I’ve been really liking the TULA Skincare Mineral Magic Oil-Free Mineral Sunscreen Fluid Broad Spectrum SPF 30 1.52 oz/ 45 mL . It gives me a little coverage too!
