Australian GoldBotanical SPF 50 Tinted Mineral Sunscreen for Face, Non-Chemical BB Cream, Water-Resistant, Matte Finish, For Sensitive Facial Skin, Medium to Tan Skin Tones, 3 FL Oz

This is hands down one of the best sunscreens I have ever tried (and as a skincare enthusiast, I’ve tried many!).PROS:- mousse rich texture, a pleasure to apply- multiple shades- matte finish- little scent- SPF 50- great price for a decent amount of product- water resistant- no white cast- blends in nicely- doesn’t run into my eyes and sting. This is the sunscreen I use around my eye area.- great for oily and normal skin typesCONS:- more shades could be added (but not a deal breaker given how nice the shades provided blend in)- this could feel drying for dryer skin typesThis is all around an amazing sunscreen, and much cheaper than super goop!’s matte screen.

Tint blends well leaving no white cast. Easy to apply and blend in. Leaves a mat finish. Mineral sunscreen with high protection. Quality sunscreen at a reasonable cost.

Does a nice job. Pretty good coverage, and has sat well under makeup. Tint has been good for me though probably will be too dark come winter time. Very good value for money.However the SMELL! oof! Like musty paint. It goes away (or maybe I get used to it?) after a bit, but it really making me consider not repurchasing. Also had some issues that if I don't blend well it oxides in my neck fold, but that has only happened twice thankfully!

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.

This is the one! I've been trying to simplify my makeup routine for the foundation portion to include just moisturizer plus a tinted sunscreen, and this finally completes my search.What I was looking for: 100% mineral sunscreen, sinks into your skin, moderate color coverage, obviously non irritating, not too glowy or shimmery, matches my skintone.Ones I have tried: Paula's choice tinted moisturizers (there's two) which both aren't a perfect match for my skintone; DRMTLGY - honestly shocked by the complete lack of tint once on compared to the photos in their ads, also too shiny and thin on my nose; PUR - not a good color match (tried two) and ends up getting kind of patchy as the day goes on; BLISS - almost perfect, but the lavender scent was too much, and I think I did start to break out from it/get itchy.For reference, I'm fair but not very fair, have some redness and acne scars to cover, my Clinique foundation color is Linen.This one is amazing! It meets all my requirements, offers a medium coverage with a natural finish. Not quite matte, but no shimmer or shine. It has an intriguing texture out of the tube - you think it's going to be thick like putty, but it's actually more whipped and melts into your skin. The color match is perfect for me, and it blends in easily. It lasted all day, and I didn't have any problem washing it off at night. After years of being an oily skin complexion, in my early 40s now I have a normal complexion, so I think applying moisturizer prior to this helps with the color match and blendability.Bonus, the price is amazing. Definitely give this a try and definitely apply moisturizer first - I think you get the best results with that. Oh I forgot to say that this actually does give a little hint of that "lit from within" look that you get with actual foundations, which is pretty incredible for a tinted moisturizer. The other ones definitely didn't do that.

I bought this because I saw so many reviews on websites and influencers raving about the matte finish, the tint not being orange, and working well under makeup. I can't believe nobody mentioned how terrible the smell is! I once spilled latex paint on my face while painting my walls (fell off a ladder, don't ask!), and the smell of this sunscreen is very similar to that! It does dry down to a nice matte finish, gives a nice light coverage, and does play well with foundation but not concealer. I couldn't get my concealer to spread on the matte finish without emphasizing my fine lines and making it look cakey no matter what I did! I mean, if you can tolerate the smell until it dries down and don't intend to use concealer, I think it'll work for you. But, I just couldn't stomach smearing that on my face every day and waiting for the smell to go away! Maybe I got a bad batch? I don't know, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone! 3 stars for the finish and overall tinted coverage.
