22 Tinted Sunscreens To Help Keep Your Skin Protected Every Day

Buzz Feed01-03-2025
1. Elta MD's wildly popular sunscreen — now in a tinted formula! The two flexible shades are formulated with ~Invisible Blend Technology~ so they won't leave behind a white cast and ruin your entire makeup look for the day. Speaking of which, reviewers mention that it never pills and is a great base for foundation!
SPF: 40
Shades: Two (Light-Medium and Medium-Deep).
Promising review:"I've been using this tinted facial sunscreen daily, and it's a great addition to my routine. The tint gives my skin a natural, sun-kissed glow without looking heavy or unnatural. It's not greasy at all, which is a big plus, especially for someone who dislikes that sticky sunscreen feel. While it doesn't provide foundation-like coverage (so it won't conceal acne or blemishes), it does even out my skin tone just enough to make me look fresh. It's great for a quick trip to the store!" — Meagan P.
Get it from Amazon for $39.90+.
2. NYX's Buttermelt Glaze that's formulated with shea AND mango butter, so look no further if you want high moisture at a low price. It's meant to leave you looking as dewy as a "glazed donut," which is inarguably the best pastry to resemble.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
SPF: 30
Shades: 10
Promising review: "If you like a light feeling slightly dewy skin tint with an SPF, then this is it. It is light-to-medium coverage but buildable. Has a light scent and wears all day. It goes on pretty smoothly, and for the price, it's definitely worth a try. It was hard picking the correct shade, so I decided to go with one shade deeper than my usual shade since the product is so light and thin, and it worked perfectly." — Cheryl L.
Get it from Amazon for $15.97.
3. Saie's Slip Tint, which combines the medium coverage of a skin tint with the hydration of a moisturizer. You'll get some hyaluronic acid for a boost of moisture, 100% mineral zinc oxide for skin protection, and a dewy tint that reviewers say blends like a dream.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
SPF: 35
Shades: 13 (including options for pink, peach, golden, neutral, neutral-red, olive, and red undertones)
Promising review:"Amazed by how much this shade matched my skin tone. I have always liked mineral sunscreen formulas which is present in this tinted moisturizer. Coverage is about right, not full coverage nor sheer. Glad I found Saie as a whole, I would recommend this product." — Sydney
Get it from Amazon for $36.
4. Naturium's Dew Glow Tinted Moisturizer for anyone who needs a super quick apply-with-your-fingers solution that still offers a nice dose of coverage. The sheer tint makes it ridiculously easy to blend, and the cap even doubles as a 1/4 teaspoon measuring cup, so you can be sure you're getting the recommended amount every day. That is genius and I'm now questioning why every sunscreen doesn't have this.
Naturium, Amazon
SPF: 50
Shades: Three (light, medium, and deep).
Promising review:"I'm absolutely in love with this tinted moisturizer! It gives me the perfect even glow without ever looking orange or cakey. The formula is super hydrating, so there's no flaking or dry patches — just smooth, natural-looking skin. It blends seamlessly and feels so lightweight, I forget I'm even wearing it. If you're looking for a no-fuss product that enhances your complexion without overdoing it, this is the one. Perfect for everyday wear and gives that 'your skin but better' vibe. Highly recommend!" — Christine
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
5. A lightly tinted sunscreen from dermatologist-fave brand Cerave, which might be one of your best bets in the drugstore price range. There are only three shades to choose from, but each is designed to seamlessly blend into a variety of skin tones, so don't worry if it looks a little too light or dark out of the bottle. And like most Cerave products, you'll get some ceramides and niacinamide to soothe and restore your skin's natural barrier.
SPF: 30
Shades: Three (light, medium, and deep).
Promising review:"I'm Black, so of course, most sunscreens tend to give me a pale appearance when I put them on. That or they tend to irritate my eyes after a while... I found this sunscreen because I wanted something better for for me and it's awesome!! It doesn't leave me looking pasty or things like that. It also doesn't take a long time to blend in with my skin and doesn't irritate it or my eyes. It's great, and will buy again!" — Lovelylanna
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+.
6. Fenty Beauty's Hydra Vizor Huez tinted moisturizer that'll have you glowing brightener than those diamonds RihRih was singing about. The real superstar ingredient here is the added niacinamide, which can help minimize the look of pores and dark spots. We love an SPF that's a double threat.
Sephora
SPF: 30
Shades: 10
Note: This doesn't come with a case! If this is your first time buying it, be sure to pick up the refill case for $6. You only have to buy it once, then you can just pick up a refill pack when you run out!
Promising review:"I absolutely love this product— it goes on so smooth and creamy and has the lightweight feel of a moisturizer but still Covers what it needs to. I will be buying again when I run out! A little goes a long way and the color match is spot on." — glowwithamira
Get it from Sephora for $43.
7. Supergoop! Glowscreen for anyone who wants a super glowy, lit-from-within complexion at all times. Better yet, it doubles as a makeup-gripping primer, so your glow will shine through your foundation while keeping you protected.
SPF: 40
Shades: Four
Promising review:"I've tried a lot of sunscreen and primers over the last year. I mean A LOT. My skin is super sensitive, acne-prone, and prone to dryness and redness. (Complicated, I know) This stuff doesn't feel heavy and moisturizes really well while not feeling like I'll break out later. It protected my skin from sunburn during six hours at Six Flags. I don't wear a ton of makeup, but the foundation and bronzer I wore didn't budge or crease. It makes your skin glow like [wild], which alone is a bit much for me, but under some foundation, it looks amazing! Def worth the buy and will buy again." — H.E.
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes).
8. InnBeauty Project's Mineral Sun Glow that truly delivers on the glowy promises in its name. If you're tired of sunscreens making you look matte and flat, this was basically formulated just for you. You'll even get a dose of vitamin C to help brighten your skin tone and some peptides to plump and firm.
Innbeauty Project
SPF: 43
Shades: Three (Fair-Medium, Medium, Medium-Deep).
Promising review: "I was initially a bit worried about the shade range, because mineral sunscreen is known to leave a ghostly white cast, but this blends right in with ZERO effort! I'm on my second tube and I don't intend on it being the last :)" — 4ppl3s
Get it from Sephora for $35.
9. An affordable tinted BB cream from Australian Gold — it comes in three super versatile shades for light to deep skin tones. It's tinted enough to even your complexion when worn on its own, but it's also designed to wear super well under makeup — so go ahead and take that expensive primer you've been eyeing out of your cart.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
SPF: 50
Shades: Three (Fair-Light, Medium-Tan, Rich-Deep)
Promising review:"I've tried many sunscreens over the years, but this has truly impressed me! It provides broad-spectrum SPF protection, keeping my skin safe from harmful UV rays without feeling greasy or heavy. The lightweight and fast-absorbing formula makes it perfect for daily wear, even under makeup. One of my favorite things about this sunscreen is that it doesn't leave a white cast, which is a huge plus for anyone with medium to deeper skin tones. It's also non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores or cause breakouts — a must-have for sensitive skin!" — Manideep
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+.
10. A feather-weight tinted moisturizer from Laura Mercier for anyone who can't stand the feeling of heavy, pasty sunscreen. You'll get SPF 30, hyaluronic acid for moisture, and a probiotic complex to help strengthen the skin barrier. The days of caking your face in goopy SPF during the dog days of summer are over.
Sephora
SPF: 30
Shades: 20, including options for cool, warm, and neutral undertones.
Promising review:"I tried this skin tint and liked how well it worked with my dry skin. It blended effortlessly, felt hydrating, and gave a natural, radiant finish. It lasted all day — even through a quick gym session — without settling into fine lines or looking patchy. The scent of the tint is a little like sunscreen but pretty light in my opinion." — pumpkinspicey
Get it from Sephora for $50 (eight of the shades are also available in a mini size for $25).
11. Live Tinted's Hueguard Skin Tint with a super sheer yet buildable finish, and one of the most magical-sounding ingredients I've ever encountered: 🦋 butterfly bush flower extract 🦋. It helps to prevent the breakdown of collagen (you know, the thing that keeps our skin plump and firm) and can help repair irritated skin.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
SPF: 50
Shades: 10
Promising review: " I LOVE this product! I use it daily and just purchased my third one. This evens out my skin, feels amazing, and leaves me glowing. Like for real, glowing like a sun-kissed little angel. It's the perfect middle between light and medium coverage. I don't like to wear foundation, but I do like to feel moisturized and protected from the sun without feeling greasy. This looks so natural and blends perfectly into my skin." — Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $42.
12. A water-resistant ~Face Shield~ from Colorscience, which features tiny beads of pigment that "bloom" when you rub the product between your hands. The four shades are designed to be flexible to adapt to a variety of skin tones, and it's easily buildable if you like fuller coverage.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
SPF: 50
Shades: Four (Fair, Medium, Tan, and Deep)
Promising review:"This has become my go-to for sun protection and foundation. Great for aging skin because it doesn't settle into your wrinkles, making it look obvious you're wearing makeup. My photos at my dermatologist show hardly any sun damage thanks to using this product. Great protection and covers redness." — Adriane
Get it from Amazon for $54.
13. The Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer by the iconic Bare Minerals, which has racked up 20,000+ rave reviews on Amazon so far. It starts out sheer, but it's lightweight enough that you can build the coverage by adding an extra layer or two. Oh, and it features some olive-derived squalane to hydrate without feeling super heavy and greasy.
SPF: 30
Shades: 20
Promising review:"I have been using the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer for 15 years, and it has been my go-to for the base of my makeup. I started using this in high school, and I still love it today! It is clean and lightweight, and I never feel cake-y at the end of a long day with this on. My skin is extremely sensitive, and I deal with hyperpigmentation, but I have never dealt with irritation or reactions with this. It is light coverage while still smoothing out my complexion. I like that it adds enough shade and smoothing to make me feel a bit less dull on days when I don't feel like wearing any makeup and how good of a base it is when applying more makeup." — Hannah C.
Get it from Amazon for $23+ (available in two sizes).
14. It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream — reviewers say it truly lives up to its skin-enhancing claims. This is a great option if you're looking for a foundation-like full coverage formula, but still want something that doesn't feel super heavy on the skin. It's designed to color correct while adding coverage, and the niacinamide will help even out any dark spots over time.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
SPF: 50+
Shades: 29 (including options for neutral-peach, cool, cool rosy, warm, warm yellow, neutral, yellow, and cool red undertones).
Promising review:"I think I've found my forever. The only change I'll have to make is a lighter color from summer to winter. It covers more than most CC or BB creams but is not as heavy as a full foundation. Stays put and doesn't accentuate my fine lines. It feels soft and dewy all day without being shiny. The consistency goes on evenly and doesn't need much blending (other than out of my silver hairline), and there were so many shades that it's a great match. It's a quality formulation that saves me time and gives me peace of mind each day because it goes on quick and easy and doesn't need messing with again other than a quick brush of translucent powder on my T-zone halfway through my day." — Kristy G.
Get it from Amazon for $47.
15. The Anthelios Tinted Sunscreen from beloved French pharmacy brand La Roche-Posay. This one is oil-free, so it's super duper lightweight and extra friendly to your pores. Some reviewers have even had luck using it to cover redness from rosacea and irritation. Lightweight with decent coverage?? I believe we've finally found the actual definition of je ne sais quoi.
www.amazon.com
SPF: 40+
Shades: Four ("Tinted" is the lightest, medium, medium-deep, and deep. Also available in an un-tinted formula)
Promising review:"This is the best tinted sunscreen I have ever tried. It comes out of the bottle in a dark tan, but it somehow manages to blend into many skin tones (I'm very pale and white). It makes me look as if I have no visible makeup or sunscreen on, but it evens out my skin tone so perfectly that its no-makeup quality acts like the best makeup. I will sometimes throw a little bronzer on top of Anthelios Tinted Sunscreen for contouring, but that isn't wholly necessary because another nice thing about the finish is that it doesn't make you look unnaturally blank, with your face in a single solid color, as foundation alone usually does." — Professor R.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
16. Honest Beauty's CCC Tinted Moisturizer — in the words of Ashley Tisdale, it's "so Jessica Alba fantastic." Wondering what those three Cs stand for? Clean, Corrective, and (vitamin) C! It's made without parabens, talc, and synthetic fragrances (hence the "clean"), helps even your skin tone (hence the "corrective"), and then there's the vitamin C to brighten your skin with continued use.
SPF: 30
Shades: 9
Promising review:"I never write reviews, but I was so excited when I tried this product that I just had to. It's daily sunscreen but with motivation because it makes your skin look great... It doesn't run or smear — if it rubs off from sweating, etc., it's in a very natural-looking way. It also doesn't feel like I have too much 'stuff' on my face, which is an issue I often have with mineral sunscreen (this is partly because I only use one pump for my whole face). I will be buying this again and again. So thankful I found this, it's the perfect product for me!" — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $13.28+.
17. A L'Oréal foundation-sunscreen hybrid that's so hydrating, it also triples as a serum! It's formulated with vitamin B3 and aloe leaf juice powder to increase hydration, as well as SPF 50 for some extra sun protection. These are some Sephora-worthy ingredients at a drugstore price point.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
SPF: 50+
Shades: 29
Promising review: "Ladies over 50, listen up! I used to wear a powder foundation I loved, but then I noticed I was getting too old for powder. I was so discouraged as I was looking for liquid foundation — they all looked orange and cakey on me and settled into my fine lines. I had just about given up on the idea of foundation until I found this! It's amazing! Matches and blends in with my skin flawlessly and moisturizes and smoothes my wrinkles! I'm so excited I found it!" — Kol Rinah
Get it from Amazon for $14.17+.
18. Tower 28 SunnyDays Tinted Sunscreen Foundation — don't let the "foundation" in its name fool you; reviewers say this is super silky and lightweight on the skin. If you go for this one, you'll treat your face to some white sage extract to soothe and aloe vera to calm any redness and irritation.
Sephora
SPF: 30
Shades: 17 (including options for pink, yellow, neutral, warm, peach, golden, olive, and red undertones)
Promising review:"I've been looking for a tinted sunscreen for so long and have been through so many brands. After reading an article about this product, I went ahead and purchased. This is what I've tirelessly been looking for! Covers just enough, makes me dewy, and provides SPF 30 protection. I will be a lifetime consumer!" — KWally21
Get it from Sephora for $30.
19. A brightening skin tint from Tula if you want your skin to shine brighter than the sun you're trying to protect yourself from. It's formulated with the brand's 🌈 Rainbow Seabright Elixir 🌈 to boost your skin's radiance and even out your skin tone.
Tula Skincare / Via www.instagram.com, Ulta
SPF: 30
Shades: 30 (including options for cool, neutral-cool, neutral, warm, neutral-warm, and olive undertones)
Promising review: " As someone with sensitive skin who doesn't like the feeling or look of base products but needs them to help tone down redness and hyperpigmentation — this is a winner. It melts into my skin and is completely undetectable, doesn't settle into pores or fine lines AT ALL, doesn't pill, has the perfect amount of coverage (somewhere between light and medium) and leaves my skin looking healthy and vibrant without being overly shiny or dewy. The shades are expansive — 4 is a perfect match for my fair/light slightly yellow/olive skin, a very hard tone to match." — LisaK
Get it from Amazon and Ulta for $42 (Ulta has the full range available, Amazon has 22 shades available).
20. Alleyoop Sunsational Tinted Moisturizer that combines the coverage of a foundation, the lightweight texture of a serum, and the protection of a sunscreen all in one. Its jojoba esters and rice bran extract help it hydrate while still maintaining its gel-like texture. Also, the name Alleyoop is just weirdly fun to say.
Amazon
SPF: 50
Shades: 12
Promising review: "I bought this for the summer because of the SPF. I have gotten rid of all my other skin tints because this one does everything you could need and more." — Anthony B
Get it from Amazon for $32.
21. The super sleek SilkScreen, which is designed to give you a barely-there hint of color while enhancing your natural glow (which you have plenty of!!! ✨). This one packs in some soothing licorice root extract, so it's a good choice for super-sensitive skin that's prone to redness or irritation.
www.amazon.com
22. A multitasking BB cream from Korean beauty brand Dr.Jart+ that conceals redness and uneven skin tone, moisturizes with glycerin, and protects your skin's barrier with niacinamide. But don't panic when you first apply it! Some reviewers say it doesn't blend in immediately, but once it dries it'll sheer out to a super light finish that's perfect on those no-makeup-makeup days.

Amazon Shoppers Are Walking 20,000-step Days Pain-free in These $50 Shoes That Are as Comfy as $150 Hokas

Tested on the trails of national parks, the endless walkways at Walt Disney World, and the concrete floors of hospitals, these podiatrist-recommended sneakers have endured 10-plus-mile travel days and 12-hour work shifts. The verdict? Travelers and nurses alike say they are comfortable, supportive, and pain-free—a winning combination for walking shoes in our book. Nearly 4,000 people have given them a perfect rating at Amazon, many writing that the quality and design are on par with higher-end Hokas. But while the average pair of Hoka shoes goes for $150 to more than $200, these lookalikes cost only $65—and they're on sale for even less right now. Here's why reviewers say they'll never go back to wearing 'regular shoes' again—and why you should grab a pair now while they're only $50. The Bronax Road Runner sneakers are perhaps best known for their wide toe box, providing plenty of room for toes to move and splay naturally. A wide toe box can help prevent painful problems like bunions, calluses, and blisters. And reviewers say it also helps reduce pain if you already have these foot issues. One person with 'an extremely bad bunion and hammertoe' said they've spent hundreds on other shoes but still experienced a lot of pain—until they tried the Bronax sneakers. 'The first day, I wore them [for] 9.5 hours with an insert for a little cushion,' they said. 'I did not have any burning pain or anything. This shoe was absolutely perfect.' Another said their podiatrist recommended the shoes for their corns. Based on customer feedback, the brand has settled on half an inch as the ideal measurement between where the toe ends and the shoe begins—you know, that space you would normally gauge with your thumb. That essential clearance allows you to run or walk down hills, for example, without your toes hitting the front of the shoe, which can lead to problems like ingrown toenails, subungual hematoma, or general pain and bruising. A nurse who has plantar fasciitis wrote that they 'needed that wide toe box.' Several other nurses called it their favorite shoe, and many say the Bronax sneaker has 'taken the place' of much more expensive Hokas. The insoles are removable, so you can take them out if you find that the shoes are a little tight. The sneakers have a heel-to-toe drop of 10 millimeters (about 0.4 inches), accounting for ample cushion and rebound in the EVA foam midsole. The mesh upper keeps them extremely breathable. They've been called 'the motherload of comfort,' as suitable for running a half marathon as they are for brunch. If they're good enough to wear for a 12-hour nursing shift with 'the world's pickiest feet,' then they're probably a smart shoe choice for your next trip; travelers have tested them out on everything from a 20-mile backpacking excursion to a month-long sojourn in Europe. They've also walked 10 miles a day in them (roughly 20,000 steps a day) for a whole week at Walt Disney World. 'They didn't hurt my bunion or squeeze my feet,' a Disney parkgoer wrote, calling them 'an absolute godsend.' And, people are even running half marathons in them. Whether you're looking for footwear to keep up with your extreme antics or just a comfy new airport shoe, these Bronax Road Runners offer Hoka-level comfort at a third of the cost. Buy them ASAP to get them for $50, 23 percent of the regular price. Read on for more $60-and-under Hoka lookalikes at Amazon. At the time of publishing, the price started at $50. Love a great deal?

See Why Reviewers Love This Version Of A Viral Facial Spray

I won't beat around the bush: You're probably a whole lot sweatier, thanks to the summer heat. That can spell disaster for your skin if you don't stay on top of it — a buildup of sweat (and therefore bacteria) can cause acne on your face and elsewhere. Of course, washing your face regularly after you work out or find yourself in another sweaty situation can help prevent these breakouts, but hey, you don't always have the time. That's where a superstar skincare ingredient — and recent TikTok-viral product — come in. The SkinSmart Antimicrobial Facial Cleanser has similar ingredients as the TikTok-viral Tower28 spray, including hypochlorous acid, water, and sodium chloride (although we can't account for ingredient quantity and potency levels). The main difference is that the SkinSmart spray comes in an 8-ounce bottle for $17.46 on Amazon, giving you twice the product for $10 less. (A 4-ounce bottle of Tower28′s spray costs $28.) Multiple buyers couldn't believe their luck in the reviews, with many comparing it favorably to the Tower 28 spray for keeping their skin clear and leaving them feeling refreshed. The SkinSmart spray has racked up over 3,700 5-star ratings on Amazon, so you know this is the real deal. So if you're looking to save money on skincare without sacrificing the benefits of hypochlorous acid, these satisfied reviews will give you the final push to add your next holy grail product to your cart. Get it from Amazon for $17.46.
