Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Sunscreen for Face, Non-Chemical BB Cream & Mineral Sunscreen,Water-Resistant,Matte Finish,For Sensitive Facial Skin,Rich to Deep Skin Tones, 3 FL Oz, Rich-Deep

This is a great product for people with light warm skin tone. I don’t think it would work for fair skin, as it borders on being a touch too dark for me, but it’s fine with a very light powder over the top to lighten it up a touch (see attached pics). I have incredibly oily skin and I found this to be neither dewy nor drying. It was a nice in between with a more natural satin finish. (and it is the perfect texture once I add a touch of setting powder). Although it is matte, it isn’t drying at all. If you have dry skin, I would definitely add a moisturizer underneath. It did take a few minutes to fully dry down. I’ve not tried this under liquid foundation, so I’m not sure how it would do underneath. I do wear a translucent setting powder over it, which sets it perfectly. It provides just a touch of coverage - a “your skin but better” look and It stays put even after mild sweating.I have tried numerous (at least 20) other tinted sunscreens and BB creams w/ spf over the past few years (including several viral ones) but this has been my fave. I also have moderate acne. I’ve only been using this about a week, but so far it hasn’t triggered any breakouts I’ll update this review if it does. I have attached a few pictures wearing the Austrian Gold Matte in the light shade. . I think it is obvious in the pics that my face is a touch darker than my neck, but it’s always like that unless I use a shade that is really too pale for me.

The only way this could be better is if it included a gradual self tanning agent that resulted in a beautiful golden tan that wasn’t stinky or orange and I could use it all over my body…a girl can dream, right? This is my absolute holy grail of tinted face moisturizers. My eyes are super sensitive to SPF products. If I get the stuff anywhere near my eyes, I usually have to wash it off and start over. This is a mineral based product that blends well while subtly camouflaging imperfections. My complexion is light medium with some freckles and a couple light age spots. This doesn’t completely cover them but after using they are a lot less noticeable. The medium is a little too dark in winter months so I ordered the light. Now I blend the two shades and achieve the perfect tone. The color is so natural. I love the matte finish. If I moisturized properly with face serum and non spf lotion, my face has a nice sewer glow without the oil slick. For the extremely reasonable price, it is definitely worth a try.

Genuinely the best tinted sunscreen ever!My only complaint is the shade! I am very fair-skinned; the shade "for fair to light skin tones" is still just too dark and orange. Like, really, it's oompa loompa orange. Somehow it manages to blend out well and not look too crazy, but if I don't blend the neckline and hairline then it is definitely noticeable. If you have fair skin, you should still try this product, but blend blend blend.The finish is great. For a sunscreen it really is matte! It could even be a little drying, if you don't moisturize well before putting the sunscreen on.I have oily skin and this stays on my face ALL DAY. My oil does come through after some hours but that's just the life of having oily skin. The product still looks great on the face. I tested this out at the pool-- didn't get fully submerged but got splashed in the face a few times and my face looked the same.

I have been searching high and low for a mineral spf for my face after giving up traditional makeup during the mask days of 2020. I am sensitive to chemical sunscreen on my face but kept going back to it anyway because every mineral one I tried that wasn’t tinted made me look like a sickly ghost and all the ones that were tinted made me look orange and/or greasy. I am now on day two of testing out this product and am blown away. The whipped mousse consistency feels light and smooth and blended effortlessly into my skin. It doesn’t look greasy and the fair to light shade was the right match for me. I don’t personally think it has any coverage but that’s fine with me. Very happy with this mineral spf.
