The neverending Tinted SPF search is on…

Any recommendations for a tinted sunscreen that won’t look terrible on a cool-toned fair olive?

Ideally:

- at least SPF 50 (tretinoin life)

- iron oxides for HEV protection (hyperpigmentation issues)

- something not overly drying (most mineral sunscreens destroy my already dry skin)

- available in a physical store in the US (I know the filters are outdated, but I’m more concerned about stability vs overseas shipping/temperature issues)

At this point I feel like I’m chasing a unicorn.

Right now I’m using an imported Korean SPF + foundation combo, but it feels insufficient for summer, especially with more outdoor time and sweating.

Decoding the concealer game (for a newbie olive)

Hello everyone, newly discovered fair olive here and honestly… I’m excited to finally test this out 😄✨

I have a light brown solar lentigo on my cheek (basically a larger freckle with a slightly dull texture), and I’ve never been able to fully cover it with makeup.

The concealer I have is Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in shade 110 (shown in the first pic).

For reference, I’m also adding my BB creams.

Right below the concealer:

Missha BB Cream #21 (best match on my face)

Purito Cica Clearing BB #21 (also a decent match)

Purito Cica Clearing BB #23 (too dark and too warm)

Purito Wonder Releaf Centella #21 (Korean version)

Would love any tips on my concealer journey or on life as a fair olive in general 💚
