Emma Louise Connolly's tinted SPF50 is her ‘favourite product I've bought this year'
Trying to work out what to put on your face during the hot summer months is a challenge we all end up facing year after year. SPF is, obviously, a must, but if you often find your foundation pills on top, you can't reapply it as easily, or you just don't like the feeling of heavy makeup when it's hot outside, then a tinted SPF is the perfect solution.
Combining some much-needed sun protection with a skin-smoothing tint, it gives just the right amount of coverage without feeling heavy, and you can easily top it up during the day without mixing products. And if you're looking for a recommendation, then Emma Louise Connolly is your go-to girl, as she shared that her Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Glow SPF 50 is '100% my favourite product I've bought this year.'
Emma's tinted SPF50 gives your skin broad spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB light, and has 100% mineral protection, with 12% zinc oxide. The mineral content also protects your skin from pollution, infrared radiation and blue light, and is dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and reef safe, as well as being chemical-free.
The Colorescience Sunforgettable Face Shield Glow (£47.98) has a hydrating, antioxidant-rich formula with a weightless finish that blends easily. It's also water and sweat resistant for up to 40 minutes, and leaves your skin looking dewy and radiant with a subtle skin tone-evening tint making it perfect for holidays – just remember to reapply it every two hours for maximum protection.
Emma revealed during her Instagram stories that the Colorescience Sunforgettable Face Shield Glow has been her go-to for summer skin, and that lately she's only been using the tinted SPF and Merit's Beauty Flush Balm Cream (£26) in the shade Fox to create her beauty base. The blusher is the perfect solid cream texture that can be easily applied anywhere and melts directly into the skin, and can be used by swiping it directly onto your skin, with no extra tools or brushes required.
Another of our favourite tinted SPFs – and one that's loved by Holly Willoughby – is the ULTRA VIOLETTE Daydream Screen Tinted Veil SPF50 (£38). It comes in 15 flexible shades to suit all skin tones, and can be layered if you prefer a more full coverage look.
Emma's Colorescience Sunforgettable Face Shield Glow has also gotten great reviews from Amazon shoppers, with one saying: 'Couldn't be more delighted. For my middle aged skin. No pilling, even coverage, gives a gentle glow, removes redness and sits softly on the skin. Would recommend and buy again.'
Another agreed: 'Absolutely brilliant! Great cover and true to the tone. Highly recommended!'
One did warn: 'Decent protection bit of a bronze/glisten im not too fond of but still better than standard spf for your face. Not sure if i'd buy again might try a different brand. Would not work on darker skin tones im fair.'
With someone else chiming in: 'It's quite pink so l didn't find this suitable for me as I have olive skin.'
However another raved: 'I use this as my daily make up - always get complimented on my skin - will buy again.'

For those wanting to enjoy their outdoor space with friends and family well into the night, households may want to consider buying a fire pit. Providing extra warmth, a relaxing atmosphere and a chance to roast marshmallows, a fire pit could be a fun addition to your garden.
