I have been on the hunt for a new sunscreen for a while. In my searches, this Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Face Sunscreen caught my eye more than once. It is a mineral sunscreen that comes in 3 shades that are sheer enough to span a wide variety of skin tones and is supposed to have a matte finish.
Milani Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Powder is an airy, mattifying, loose powder that helps to diffuse the look of skin texture and control oil. There are 5g of product in the container and it retails for around $13.
Patrick Ta Crème Foundation & Finishing Powder Duo is a two-in-one product containing a medium coverage foundation and a translucent, natural-finish powder. It retails for $52, contains 0.42 oz of foundation (less than half of a standard size liquid foundation), 0.32 oz of powder, and comes in 24 shades.
I picked up a few things from Ulta recently and the Essence Pretty Natural Foundation caught my eye mainly because it has a surprisingly large shade range for the price.
Nars Soft Matte Complete Foundation is described as “a full coverage, natural-looking matte foundation that resists shifting shades throughout the day due to oxidation, and features comfortable 16-hour wear.” It comes in 34 shades and retails for $40.
Too Faced Born This Way Matte Foundation is supposed to be an oil-free, waterproof foundation with a matte finish and undetectable coverage that comes in 35 shades and retails for $40. It is boldly implied to stay matte and control oil for 24 hours.
The Menagerie Cosmetics Pastel Pup Palette contains a well balanced selection of matte pastel shades along with a black, a white, and one shimmer in their “tri-foil” finish. Their formula is talc-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and made in Newman Lake, Washington. There is a total of 24 grams of product and it retails for $36.
Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint is a tinted sunscreen with SPF 40 that comes in 18 shades and retails for $46.
Maybelline Dream Radiant Liquid Foundation is described as a hydrating foundation that delivers medium coverage and a radiant finish. It comes in a standard 1 fl. Oz glass bottle with a pump, retails for $13, and is available in 20 shades.
