Australian Gold Botanical Sunscreen Tinted Face BB Cream SPF 50, 3 Ounce | Rich-Deep | Broad Spectrum | Water Resistant | Vegan | Antioxidant Rich, A70887

Matte and does not smudge when applied on skin unless applied on top of another layer of greasy sunblock!

Fellas if you're reading this, this probably isn't the product you're looking for. It's foundation with spf in it. The only hint that it's make up is the "BB cream" in small font printed on the bottle. Not sure why the company doesn't make that more clear. I just searched up tinted mineral sunscreen and this had good reviews so I purchased it. I got a whole skin care routine It doesn't bother me that it's make up I just didn't have a very good time finding that out live lol. It doesn't absorb into the skin and will stain anything you brush your face against. I also don't have make up remover so it was awful trying to get it off! Now as a foundation it definitely does a great job it evened out my skin tone and was definitely a matte look. The coverage on this sunscreen is all of it, it's thicc. Its a good product, it just isn't the product I thought I was buying. I bought a regular tinted mineral sunscreen and it does exactly what I was expecting, keeping an unaltered skin tone and absorbing into the skin like a moisturizing lotion.

originally ordered the med-tan to compliment my skin tone. however, i just ordered the rich-deep which i actually prefer. i use it to give my face a tan look. it’s great as a primer before foundation or as a foundation the days i’m in a hurry. i like it better than my foundation honestly. it feels silky and absorbs well into the skin. i have to be transparent… i don’t use as much as they recommend as a sunscreen. but less is better than none at all. i also mix it with the lighter version or a lighter color from another brand i use which i love also but comes in only one color which is too light for me. so i continue to reorder this sunscreen that feels great on my skin.

I thought this would be great for dark skin. When I originally put it on it seemed like it would be great. If you don’t put a lot of it on it’s fine. I used the two finger rule. I trailed my entire index finger and my middle finger, then I spread it all over my neck and my face. It had a small white cast. I thought the cast would disappear as a dry down, but but after my 10,000 steps around the park, I noticed the cast was very vivid.I wiped my nose earlier, so you can see the difference between bare skin and the sunscreen covered skin.

I've been waiting for a tinted physical sunscreen for users with darker complexions. I bought the rich deep tint and mix it with Coppertone Pure and Simple for excellent overall coverage. The Aussie Gold alone looks strange on my face (red-brown/African-Am. skin color). That's why I removed a star. However, when I mix it with the Coppertone Pure & Simple mineral sunscreen, It makes for excellent coverage. I used to use pure and simple alone. Obviously, the downside is if you use too much (or, even just enough), you'll look like "Casper" white mineral-cast. I also like to use this formula under make-up whenever I wear it. Plus, I hope more positive reviews of tinted mineral sunscreens meant for darker-skinned people show cosmetic companies that there is a market out there for it. I prefer mineral because, for whatever reason, it's less irritating to my face--and doesn't burn my eyes when driving. Also, it's just factually better for the planet. Would love something similar for my body!!! I still use chemical sunscreen for lack of better alternatives for the rest of my body.
