Colorescience Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50, 1.8 Fl Oz

I love this brand of sunscreen for the face. Colorscience Classic goes on smooth and blends in with my natural fair coloring. It protects my skin well. I use it every day since my dermatologist kept reminding how important it is to protect my skin.

I've been using the "classic" for about 6 weeks now, and I love it. It feels great on my skin. It's cleared up any scars I've had on my face. It has added so many benefits to my skin, and made it glowy. I love that it's easy to apply, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and doesn't pile. It adds a great glow to your skin, and wears well over my daily moisturizer. As someone who's gone through so much sunscreen, this one is definitely a keeper. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. Quality

Love this! Blends into natural skin color so well. Coverage is great without looking cakey or like heavy makeup but evens out skin tone and lasts all day. Doesn’t dry my skin. I’m 50+ and don’t even use moisturizer before applying. Apply with fingers and use a brush with powder and again, lasts all day! I don’t use anything else. However I do NOT like their color sciencepowder. It’s horrible. But I love the Younique pressed powder with it. Bought on a whim to get spf and so glad I did. Tried It brand and some others and none compares!

UPDATE: Okay I could not find anything better than this. By far the best mineral sunscreen under makeup for brown skin. I deal with the minimal eye irritation later in the day and just make sure I wash my face thoroughly with an oil cleanser and don’t leave it on too long in order to avoid breakouts. —- I have brown skin. I bought the Original color because I didn’t want any added glow. I bought this because it’s a mineral formula and the protection is really high. I’m highly allergic to chemical sunscreen and allergic to a lot of things. The formula is nice. Fairly thin texture and spreads nicely. It does leave a faint white cast even after settling into my skin. Not at all bad though compared to other mineral sunscreens. I wear makeup on top. I tried this with 3 different foundations/tinted makeup. Under MAC face and body makeup, which is a really sheer foundation, the combo felt fine. Under Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin, the combo felt HEAVY and settled into my fine lines throughout the day even after setting with powder and also the make up looked patchy. Doesn’t look like this when I’ve used it without sunscreen. Tried with Chanel VITALUMIÈRE AQUA (what I use regularly) and felt good. Not heavy at all and no issues. I do put the sunscreen around my eyes and find that later in the day it seeps into then resulting in redness and mild irritation. I do find that if I leave it on for 12 hours I start to break out. I can’t purchase again bc of these reasons but you might be fine. Honestly though it’s the best mineral sunscreen I’ve tried so far based on protection, slight white cast, and texture. I have to keep searching but It’s worth trying for yourself.

I have been using Colorscience Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 Original color for over 5 years. I love that the color blends with your skin so well and provides a natural looking finish. It does not cover all of my dark spots or defects, but it makes my natural skin look better. The finish is soft and silky and the 50 helps protect my skin from additional sun damage. If you are looking for a more natural finish, this is a great choice.

Very nice mineral sunscreen. Easy to apply, long lasting and effective. Very pricey, good to get it on Prime Day.

This product really delivers on what it promises. It feels lightweight on the skin and absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer under makeup or a light powder. While it can leave the skin just a touch on the dewy/greasy side, it’s nothing overwhelming and actually gives a healthy finish. I like to give it about a minute to dry before applying anything on top, and it works seamlessly in my routine. A little goes a long way, and I haven’t found myself going through it too quickly. Overall, it’s an effective, dependable product that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

I absolutely loved the feel and finish of this tinted sunscreen, but with or without my foundation on top of it, my Benefit Dandelion blush went from pink to a shade of orange. I have fair skin, blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair, which at this time of year is more strawberry than blonde. The orangey shade is definitely not my color. I was sad that this didn't work out, because the Colorscience made my skin look radiant really, until an hour or so after blush was applied. I so wanted a replacement for the Australian Gold Mineral sunscreen in original tint, because even though that tint looks great color-wise, it also makes my skin look dry and therefore accentuates my wrinkles, even when I mix it with Olay microsculpting cream moisturizer before I apply it. The Colorscience didn't accentuate the wrinkles. I feel certain this color issue is either a conflict with my Olay moisturizer, my own chemistry or the Benefit blush; maybe a combination of the three. If you have oily skin this sunscreen is moisturizing so it might not work for you. Otherwise, you may want to give this a try. Hate that I had to return it. No matter what, I've had a run-in with skin cancer, so I won't go without spf. I just have to keep looking ancient and dry with AG until I find one that works better for my coloring, skin type, and that plays well with my moisturizer and blush. I'm 62 yrs young, normal to dry combo skin. Hope this helps!

To be honest I love it more than flex! It suits my skin color so well, it gives you a very light coverage, it’s more like your skin but better. I don’t feel it on my skin and it doesn’t break me out. I have combination/oily skin and during the day it feels perfect. Of course safe and quality ingredients, good protection level. Highly recommend.

Light on the skin blends into any skin tone with a slight glow…

No es para mí, pero siempre es un buen producto de gran calidad

La Protection Totale du Visage SPF 50 de Colorescience est un excellent produit. Elle offre une excellente protection solaire tout en ayant un fini qui ressemble à celui d’un fond de teint, ce qui unifie bien le teint. Cependant, je dois mentionner qu'elle laisse un léger résidu, ce qui peut être un peu gênant. Malgré cela, sa texture crémeuse s'applique facilement et donne à ma peau un aspect radieux. Elle est parfaite pour une utilisation quotidienne, et j’apprécie qu'elle résiste à l'humidité. C'est un incontournable dans ma routine beauté. Je recommande ce produit à celles qui recherchent une protection efficace et un joli rendu sur la peau !
