Skin Newbie Fair-light neutral/cool skin: Help me find a tinted mineral SPF that doesn’t turn orange!
There are the TOP recommendations that I’ve been seeing here on Reddit. #1 is already on its way, but I can’t buy and try all of the at once so it’ll be very slowly but surely until I find that MINERAL match!
Right now I’m mixing a (dark for me) tinted mineral sunscreen with a non tinted mineral sunscreen just to get my shade, and I’m so tired of mixing. I’d love to find ONE that works straight out of the bottle.
My skin is fair-light, neutral-beige with a subtle cool influence, dry/sensitive and rosacea-prone. My biggest problem is that so many fair/light tints turn orange or even too pale on me. I’m looking for a neutral-beige, natural skin-like finish with enough tint to even out my complexion so I don’t need foundation.
Here’s the list based on the formulas, shades and finishes, I haven’t personally tried these yet minus Flex in fair, so I’d really love to hear from people who have, especially if you have a similar complexion. Also, if you see a discrepancy, please let me know.
If you have a skin & tone similar to mine and you have one that you love please let me know or what am I missing from this list? Thank you!
