This can be worn on its own or over makeup. It comes in a translucent shade that’s meant to work on all skin tones, and a shade called “a touch of tan” that adds a subtle bronze glow to light and medium skin tones.
Note: Powdered sunscreens are best used for touching up, not as a replacement for traditional sunscreen (read more from the Cleveland Clinic). If you’re looking for a good sunscreen to add to your routine, check out our roundup of the best tinted sunscreens.

Promising review: “I was skeptical about the coverage of this product, but I have been using it every single day since it arrived and have yet to get sunburnt even though I spend upwards of 6 hours a day in the sun during the work week. I have also tested it on the weekend in instances where I would normally wear some sort of cream sunscreen on my face, but this seems to work just as well. For folks having concerns about coverage issue, I understand. I have been applying it by going in many circles over my face and seem to be successful with no problems. I have extremely sensitive skin along with a number of allergies and this is the first sunscreen ever that doesn’t seem to break my face out at all. This will now be my go-to sunscreen for my face!” —Silver
