Because I have medium-dark skin I find when using mineral sunscreen using a little bit at a time and building it up over 2-3 applications helps with the white cast! Would not suggest slathering it on.
I think it doesn't really matter because for example the Cotz flawless (FACE) even if you slather it on, there's no cast while others even piece meal application it still leaves a cast. So formulation is the key. I also believe it shouldn't be this much of a task to apply a product especially in the morning when you are about to head out.
@@sinzasmile2431 Sure I was referring to the mineral sunscreens that I love that have some cast but not ones that would completely looks like a white mask on my face, don't think in that instance it would matter. But it works better when I layer it on as I said. The application is still fast for me at least and I don't have time to sit around either. There aren't many mineral sunscreens with absolutely no cast on dark skin, especially without a tint that usually doesn't work with my skin tone. I don't live in the USA so Cotz is not an option for me. Of course for most people a chemical sunscreen would be the fastest solution. I am pregnant + have melasma so I prefer using mineral sunscreens at the moment but do what works for you :)
Thanks for including Julian. As a medium complexion Black woman, there’s not a lot of reco’s from non-Black content creators who take Black folks into consideration, especially when it comes to sunscreen. Thanks Susan! Really appreciate your effort!
I really appreciated your input on this. All the tinted ones work terribly for me, but for the opposite reason. Apparently I have the skin tone of a slightly beige ghost (but still look bad with white cast). I can't wait to try the one you loved!
Thank you Julian! That was incredibly helpful. Higher SPF Mineral sunscreen for deeper complexions is truly a challenge! Add in combo oily skin and it becomes almost impossible. As such, I find Olay Mineral SPF 30 works the best for me now, no white cast but still on the hunt for a higher Mineral SPF for deeper skin tones.
Note, we chose sunscreens with SPF 40+ because both Julian and I prefer higher protection. Big thank you to Julian for helping on this video! It was really insightful, especially because I thought we would for sure have crossover on at least ONE of our sunscreen choices.
Thank you for bringing Julian in to ensure your review is deeper complexion inclusive. We appreciate you both!! I love how Julian actually puts the recommended amount of sunscreen on but it is so important to build it up to calm the white cast for sure..
Inzincable by Dr. V is SPF 50 and leaves no white cast at all on my deeply melanated skin. I'm a Fenty 445, Cover FX 110, Fitzpatrick 5.5 beautifully melanted lady that only uses Mineral sunscreens and Inzincable is it!
The Biossance mineral sunscreen only leaves the slightest white cast at my hairline and my skin is just a tad lighter than Julian’s. I use some sheer powder and you can’t see it at all. Would definitely recommend!
@@Rwissam1987 It is a squalene based formula so probably not the the best for oily skin but it’s never made me break out (I have normal/ combo skin and am acne prone) It’s very lightweight but not matte so I usually apply powder after applying.
Thank you so much Susan and Julian! I needed this video desperately, I'm following Julian immediately. Im close to Julian's shade and really appreciated this info.
this was great to watch! but I cannot lie, I will not and will never use 11 pumps of sunscreen 😂😂😂 However, the sunscreen Julian used looked amazing! I'm going to look into it!
I would’ve liked to see Julian put the mineral sunscreen on in thin layers and build it up. That’s probably the best wear to apply it to get less white cast. If you just glob it on like crazy, definitely higher chance of white cast
But a suncreen needs to be re-apply. If you have ti do that everytime you apply it is such a waste of time. I use the COTZ suncreen and you don't have to do all that. It's a really good one in terms oof complexion on dark skin even when you aply the proper amount and re-apply it. That's the favorite mineral from black youtubers of all shades of brown
Very informative! Thanks for the content and for including Julian in the video. I appreciated his honest reviews and recommendations. Unfortunately, 😔the Ananya Aesthetics Clear Perfection Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ is not available in Canada. This will be the second online video that I viewed that recommended this sunscreen for darker tones.
I only use mineral on my face because of sensitivities. One that is amazing & works on med dark skintones as well is Dr.Brandts Sun Shield SPF50 it's fantastic. Not thick but not drying, no cast & is great under makeup. I also love Peter Thomas Roth Max Mineral Tint SPF45. I skip any foundation with this one the sheer tint is so good also great under makeup. I also really love the Ilia C Beyond. it's really not makeup like Julian said there is no coverage but I agree with him I would only use it on my face/neck. It's pricey but the feel & finish are great. Josie Maran is one of my OG faves. I'll need to get a bottle once I finish these 3.
Truly great video. I really appreciated Julian's input. I have an issue with most mineral sunscreens with a tint being way too deep for my skin even in the lightest shade, so I am definitely going to pick up that last one when it is back in stock!
I def do not do 11 pumps, I do like a nickel to quarter size amount 👀 maybe a bit more if I didn’t see it go everywhere I wanted. I like drink elephants
I would love for you to interview a sunscreen formulator about why that one brand maybe doesn't have a White cast but all these other larger r&d brands do!
Hi Susan! I’m a new Mixed Makeup fan and highly obsessed with skincare routines and you! I would really like an affordable morning and night time routine for oily skin AND I’m in the process of getting rid of blackheads, so something that unclogs pores too!
Indian medium-deep skintone and my go to is Colorscience in shade deep/tan or the bronze. I love love love that sunscreen and I generally wear only that everyday without any makeup and it makes my skin look great!
Whitecast is the bane of my life but chemical sunscreen stings my eyes. A hack for me is just using mineral sunscreens around my eyes and chemical everywhere else. That way you are still getting the protection you need without the stinging lol
It was nice to hear Julian's thoughts. I have challenges with mineral sunscreens and I think it comes down to formulation. I've found two that don't cause my face and eyes to swell and itch. La Rouche-posay and Australian Gold. Any insights on what within formations could cause that?
What a great collaboration, really informative, I didn’t ever stop to think about how a white cast is even harder if you have a deeper skin tone. Brands really need to do better
Colorescience FaceShieldFlex in darker tones is really elegant and doesn't leave a cast (my skin is medium tan to deep, and I'd be curious to see results on darker tones) and has a great moisturizing component, and dries down to a healthy glow (powder can take it down to matte). I love this so much I use it in place of foundation - Colorescience also has mineral cosmetics and shaded balms that can be used as blush, highlighter, lip color, mascara - I basically don't wear makeup anymore because this sunscreen works as both! I'll have to check out Julian's content to see if he's reviewed their products!
There are several black youtubers with deep/dark skin who have reviewed it properly and it leaves a cast. From the reviews I have seen the only ones which are worth it are the ones from COTZ and DR V inzicable.
I wanna try the sunscreen Julian recommended. Ive been looking for mineral sunscreens that don't leave a cast. Biossance has one that isn't too bad of a cast that I like. The other ones I've liked with mineral filters have been mineral/chemical combos.
I have been liking mineral sunscreens more because it is so hard to find chemical or hybrid sunscreens that don't or barely sting my eyes. Granted, mineral sunscreens with antioxidants does sting my eyes or they kinda dry my eye out and has a white cast, but it's still better than many chemical or hybrid sunscreens. Gosh I miss Mustela hybrid sunlotion so much!!
I shall also sing my love for Missha Cicadin sunmilk to the rooftop!!! The centella and green calamin helps mitigate irritations, even the ones existing before you apply sunscreen and the green tint helps cover redness!!! Gosh I miss that too but it seems like Missha is either reformualting or discontinuing it 😭😭
I watched the chemical sunscreen video a couple days ago since I was looking for a new sunscreen-this video could not have had more perfect timing! I think it's best that I stick to the chemical sunscreen for my skin tone which us more olive. I do find that the Elta MD one works well with my skin color but the Bondi Sands from the other video is the one that I prefer! It's also better for your budget :)
I bought the Ananya one at Julian’s recommendation… unfortunately, it caused my eyes to burn like crazy. My eyes watered throughout the entire day! It has a very sticky feel (hair kept on sticking to my face) and is also super shiny. Tried to return and they don’t accept returns :(
I’m very light skinned and my problem with mineral sunscreen is not only white cast but also that it doesn’t sit well under makeup. I don’t *want* to wear mineral sunscreen but I developed an allergy after pregnancy to seemingly all chemical sunscreens (and probably some mineral too). I don’t think the allergy is to the active ingredients but there are so many other ingredients in sunscreens that I’ll probably never be able to pinpoint what caused the allergy.
I am having a similar issue! I love chemical sunscreens but am currently in a bad autoimmune flare and on prednisone. Now I am getting hives every morning after applying my chemical sunscreen. Need to find a good mineral one now. Do you have any you like?
i am one of those hardcore mineral gals 🧍🏾♀️ every single chemical sunscreen i’ve tried has caused pustules, and the only time i’ve truly been (darn near) acne/texture free has been with mineral sunscreen. that being said, so happy you brought julian on! it’s been hard to find the darker mineral sunscreen reviewers
I think America has a variety of good mineral sunscreens from many price points and I really envy that but I feel bad for people who cannot use them because of deal the white cast.
I am fair with super sensitive skin and am really struggling to find a sunscreen that doesn't itch, burn or make me break out. But the big problem i am finding is a lot of options aren't available in Canada.
I have the same problem as Julian. I have super pale skin and get weird casts from a lot of tinted sunscreens. Tinted sunscreens come in universal shades a lot of the time and it sucks.
Hi dear Susan Yara I've been doing youon FB for years and about over a month on TH-cam....a question; I am 51 I started very late a real skincare routine but I've got better skin of my mum I started a day and night routine at about in my mid 40s! Yeah I know as soon as I saw your tutorials and James welshes,,,I quickly though crap lucky I still have skin of a 35 year old.....so I did my research also and I spent 300\250€ on my skincare routine shiesedo I love elemis Garlain clenser boogie stuff almost for my skin care at the moment I purchased a 10% vitamin C serum for 18.99, but it's water!!!! I've tried at the beginning drugstore stuff but I just break out with that stuff it's incredible I never have broken out just when a product is too crap let's say same for makeup wipes I'm allergict to them so for about8/9 years I've been using expensive products I never breakout with shiesedo's products and elemis Dior and farmacy product s....... Once just to say I was so excited last year to by Italy's best brand vitamin C serum 30% 110€ got it put it on for 2 mornings and I was scratching and had that same rash as like the drug stores did maybe because it was 30 % vitamin C to strong ..cause I started using Perricone skincare and Thier vitamin C was 20 % not %30!!! Anyway sorry for the really long msg. But I wanted to tell you do I need all these products? Sorry I forgot to say I live in Italy and it's not easy for me to buy good American bands like yours!!! I love you notirium I trust you but shipping etc I don't know if it would be so expensive damn.ok thankyou for reading me Vanessa I also don't have a damn. I also maybe need a debit card if to get your brand LD love that really bye beautiful my cousin is Korean too your so beautiful it's hard for me to go to the band with my bad heart the cardiologist wrote me dead last year!!! I'm still here and makeup and skincare is my bestie first my doggies...
Technique guy! Don't just slather it on. Layers -> less gray cast. That's how I put on Cotz and it really makes a difference (Though I'm a shade or two fairer than Julian). Still so far Cotz is the best I've found. No cast but too glossy too love and doesn't hold up water/sweat well at all. (CA heat wave. 115 degrees this week was the ultimate test!!) I just splurged (yesterday) on the UK brand BEA. ($61 with shipping!) Videos I watched made it look magical lol. I better be worth it! I wish I had seen this video first. I would have tried Ananya first for half the price. I'm also going to try Kinship, which looked to be in the Cotz range. Thanks for the info!!
What is the difference between a sunCREAM and a sunSCREEN?? Is it the same thing? Is the sun cream only for the summer and the high exposure to sun and so the sunscreen for daily use, even during winter?
I am very fair, so white cast has never been an issue. I live in GA, and I am looking for a sunscreen that will not sweat off in 30 minutes or burn my eyes. I keep trying various brands looking for what works for me. I also have a family history of skin cancer. Suggestions for skin tones between you and Julian? I have a 17 year old niece who is Hispanic and some sunscreens leave a “purplish” tint on her skin.
Colorscience is terrible on deeper skin stones, even their tinted ones looks like someone painted my face gray, it's like no thought went into it for dark skin tones, and I'm like 1-2 shades lighter than Julian. And that's even with applying it a little at a time to try to reduce the white caste.
@@aisoaification Ok. The bronze sunscreen works on me. My complexion is more dark rather than deep (Fenty 385). The other Colorscience sunscreens do not work for me.
I think the opportunity was missed to have a third person with really oily skin. Even better if they happen to wear makeup, just to have an idea if it's ideal for us oily folks, if the finish was greasy, if it played well with the formulation of your foundation etc.
Nope. I use mineral sunscreens because I'm allergic to the "octyls" (there are several of them widely in use. Not a skin reaction, oddly enough, nausea, a rank taste in my mouth, digestive issues. So...mineral or nothing. Since I'm Fitzgerald Type I, I opt for as much mineral coverage as I can get.
Susan, you’re being unfair to mineral sunscreens and the reasons why we pick them over chemical ones. A great deal of people pick mineral over chemical because chemical sunscreens BURN THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THEIR EYES, and I would argue this may be the MAIN reason why anyone picks mineral over chemical - not any clean beauty or environmental reason. This is a MAJOR flaw in chem sunscreens that make them simply impossible to wear for many of us. Of course they are more cosmetically pleasant. If I could I would only wear chemical ones. But the burning is real, and it is strong, and many times it’s not just around the eyes. I’m not a clean beauty parrot, I actually hate the fad, but chemical filters can be extremely difficult to deal with.
Because I have medium-dark skin I find when using mineral sunscreen using a little bit at a time and building it up over 2-3 applications helps with the white cast! Would not suggest slathering it on.
Same, definitely might help the application and decrease white cast sometimes.
I think it doesn't really matter because for example the Cotz flawless (FACE) even if you slather it on, there's no cast while others even piece meal application it still leaves a cast. So formulation is the key. I also believe it shouldn't be this much of a task to apply a product especially in the morning when you are about to head out.

Thanks so much for having me on Susan!! This was a treat and a half 🌞🌞🌞
You did amazing!!!

@Julian can you explain biomathematics to us? I'm a math nerd but I couldn't find a way to make engineering interesting to me.
Thanks for your help Julian!

I love DR V sunscreen and Biossance. However I need the SPF 50 and I use Dr V around my eyes also because I have hyperpigmentation issues.
Wow! What a brilliant, well thought out video to have two different complexion tones to contrast. Well done Susan and Julian!!!
I enjoyed this collab with Julian. I’ve been thinking about using a higher SPF and needed some ideas.
So exciting to see Julian here!!!
I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate you knowing to include a dark skinned persons perspective. The bar. Subscribed.
The Biossance mineral sunscreen only leaves the slightest white cast at my hairline and my skin is just a tad lighter than Julian’s. I use some sheer powder and you can’t see it at all. Would definitely recommend!
is it good for oily skin?

@@sarahc9306 Thank you for your response! :)
Yesss this one at the moment is my favorite! it's a bit oily so I skip moisturizer and it works great
My go to! I don’t get a white cast with it, but I’m super pale lol. I also love that it’s EWG certified!
yess!! i was looking for tinted spf for my dark skin this whole week and you guys came in clutch!!
I'm glad you had a friend on that is a deeper skin tone. this will be helpful for anyone. & your friend Julien seems super cool.
I love this type of video with the opinion of different people!.
Thank you so much Susan and Julian! I needed this video desperately, I'm following Julian immediately. Im close to Julian's shade and really appreciated this info.
Aunty Susan has always been inclusive! Thank you for looking out for darker pigments. ❤️. We see you Julian bro.
I clicked like. Love this. This video is so informative. The elta md and tatcha
Are great especially for acne prone skin.

I wan to try Julian’s favorite sunscreen next! Love trying something not found in Sephora or even over hyped products that don’t work for me.
Great video on sunscreen! I also looove your makeup look here, Susan! Your eyeshadow is so pretty. 💖

Please review these mineral sunscreens: Undefined R&R Sun Serum, DRMTLGY physical sunscreen, Olay minneral
Is the last sunscreen the one with no white cast nano or non nano?
Omg Susan please try Undefined Beauty R&R sun serum mineral sunscreen, got it at target.
It is BEAUTIFUL; however, it irritated my (extremely) sensitive skin.
I’ve been loving that one too!!
I bought the Ananya one at Julian’s recommendation… unfortunately, it caused my eyes to burn like crazy. My eyes watered throughout the entire day! It has a very sticky feel (hair kept on sticking to my face) and is also super shiny. Tried to return and they don’t accept returns :(

Yes! 🎉 Thank you!
I think America has a variety of good mineral sunscreens from many price points and I really envy that but I feel bad for people who cannot use them because of deal the white cast.
So, which one is the best to use under make up?

Which one is good for combination skin ? ☺️

Can you please do a drug store or budget sunscreen! Thank you! ☀️
Have you tried naked Sundays? Love their stuff! Would love to know what you think 😊 ps they have a new clear serum spf 50 !
What drugstore sunscreen 🧴 do you recommend for oily skin
Have you guys tried Beauty of Joseon SPF? I'm really curious about your opinions.
I loved this thank you 😊
Technique guy! Don't just slather it on. Layers -> less gray cast.
That's how I put on Cotz and it really makes a difference (Though I'm a shade or two fairer than Julian). Still so far Cotz is the best I've found. No cast but too glossy too love and doesn't hold up water/sweat well at all. (CA heat wave. 115 degrees this week was the ultimate test!!)
I just splurged (yesterday) on the UK brand BEA. ($61 with shipping!) Videos I watched made it look magical lol. I better be worth it! I wish I had seen this video first. I would have tried Ananya first for half the price. I'm also going to try Kinship, which looked to be in the Cotz range.
Thanks for the info!!
Summer Friday’s spf I love
Would you suggest the elta md stick only for reapplication? Or would it be good for both reapplication and regular application?
Yes, thank you!!
What is the difference between a sunCREAM and a sunSCREEN?? Is it the same thing? Is the sun cream only for the summer and the high exposure to sun and so the sunscreen for daily use, even during winter?
Your friend said the one he likes the best has no white cast I can see the white cast in his face
Are we going to have a SPF from Naturium?
For sure!
I am very fair, so white cast has never been an issue. I live in GA, and I am looking for a sunscreen that will not sweat off in 30 minutes or burn my eyes. I keep trying various brands looking for what works for me. I also have a family history of skin cancer.
Suggestions for skin tones between you and Julian? I have a 17 year old niece who is Hispanic and some sunscreens leave a “purplish” tint on her skin.
Try Shisedo's sunscreens. Clear finish & very long wearing. The blue bottles are super waterproof.
I’m surprised you have never reviewed Colorscience! Great mineral sunscreens for many different skin tones. I love the Ilia serum, btw.
Colorscience is terrible on deeper skin stones, even their tinted ones looks like someone painted my face gray, it's like no thought went into it for dark skin tones, and I'm like 1-2 shades lighter than Julian. And that's even with applying it a little at a time to try to reduce the white caste.
@@aisoaification Ok. The bronze sunscreen works on me. My complexion is more dark rather than deep (Fenty 385). The other Colorscience sunscreens do not work for me.
@@dancingpurpledogs I'm Fenty 440 to 445, you're no where near my skin color, colorscience doesn't look good on deep brown skin tones.
Have you tried the hero green tint sunscreen?
Has Julian tried Blackgirl Sunscreen???
all sold out of the clear perfection 🙃
I like it . Thank you
😍😍😍 Julian
I like Elta MD Clear untinted.
What lip products did u use here Susan
You'll thank me when you try it if you like a dewy look no stickiness at all
Unfortunately the Anaya sunscreen still sold out.
Any suggestions to what sunscreen I can use for dry acne prone skin?
bioasence one make my eyes really uncomfortable. I love summer fridays one and bliss :)
What's your favorite moisturizer with SPF to use under foundations?
I find shiesedo's spf50 is the best it costs in € 31 for 50 ml
Has anyone tried the drmtlgy 46 spf? Thoughts?
Do you think it's help if Julian applied the sunscreen differently? One finger length at a time maybe
I think the opportunity was missed to have a third person with really oily skin. Even better if they happen to wear makeup, just to have an idea if it's ideal for us oily folks, if the finish was greasy, if it played well with the formulation of your foundation etc.
Nope. I use mineral sunscreens because I'm allergic to the "octyls" (there are several of them widely in use. Not a skin reaction, oddly enough, nausea, a rank taste in my mouth, digestive issues. So...mineral or nothing. Since I'm Fitzgerald Type I, I opt for as much mineral coverage as I can get.
❤👏
Susan, you’re being unfair to mineral sunscreens and the reasons why we pick them over chemical ones. A great deal of people pick mineral over chemical because chemical sunscreens BURN THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THEIR EYES, and I would argue this may be the MAIN reason why anyone picks mineral over chemical - not any clean beauty or environmental reason. This is a MAJOR flaw in chem sunscreens that make them simply impossible to wear for many of us. Of course they are more cosmetically pleasant. If I could I would only wear chemical ones. But the burning is real, and it is strong, and many times it’s not just around the eyes. I’m not a clean beauty parrot, I actually hate the fad, but chemical filters can be extremely difficult to deal with.
Ilia is nice but not for 64 dollars
Is this for real ?!?
