If you can step outside without your sunglasses fogging up and your hair taking on a completely different style, you’re living a rare kind of summer. For the rest of us sweating through 90+ degree mornings, we have no choice but to pare our routines down to only the highest performers. Luckily, e.l.f. Cosmetics’ Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 certainly fits the bill. With the hydrating, brightening benefits of a serum, the protection of a sunscreen, and the glowy coverage of a tint, it’s a true triple threat.
Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50
1. Like a Serum, But Better
The first thing you notice about Halo Glow Skin Tint is just how lightweight it is. The beauty of it is that it does wear more like a serum than makeup, thanks to its fast-absorbing, ultralight formula infused with niacinamide to help even tone and brighten discoloration, bisabolol to soothe, and allantoin to draw in and retain moisture.
2. Dewy, Not Done Up
But while it may feel barely there, your skin’s finish will show otherwise. One layer gives just enough coverage to tone down redness and even things out while still looking like you aren’t wearing anything at all, and you can easily build it up without it pilling or veering into cakey territory. It somehow always lands on the right side of natural, dewy radiance — not shimmery, greasy, or overly made-up.
3. SPF That Doesn’t Give It Away
Which brings us to arguably the best part of Halo Glow Skin Tint: On top of everything else, it has mineral SPF 50 built in. Mineral sunscreen has a lot going for it — it starts working the moment you apply it, and tends to be gentler on sensitive or breakout-prone skin. It also offers broad-spectrum protection by creating a physical barrier between your skin and the sun. The tradeoff for all those positives has traditionally been texture. Mineral sunscreens are often thicker and heavier than chemical formulas, and notorious for leaving a chalky white cast behind. But not this one. You’d never guess it has SPF, and yet your skin is fully protected — it’s even earned The Skin Cancer Foundation’s recommendation for safe and effective sun protection.
The shelves are oversaturated with multitaskers claiming to do it all and then delivering the bare minimum, so it’s refreshing to find a product that gets it right on all fronts: texture, finish, benefits, protection, price point, and shade range. Halo Glow Skin Tint simplifies your routine without showing its hand, leaving you with skin that’s hydrated, luminous, and looks like you invested way more time into it than you did. The 3-in-1 shampoo-body wash-conditioner a few aisles over is shaking in its boots right now.
