The e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50 is designed for effortless application and a naturally radiant finish. To achieve optimal results, start with clean, moisturized skin. Dispense a small amount onto your fingertips, a damp beauty sponge, or a foundation brush. Begin by applying a thin layer, blending outwards from the center of your face. Its serum-like consistency allows for smooth, even distribution, quickly absorbing into the skin. For areas requiring slightly more coverage, you can gently tap on an additional thin layer, as the formula is buildable without becoming heavy or cakey. The tint will impart a natural, dewy glow, making your skin look healthy and vibrant. Remember to apply generously at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Due to its water-resistant nature, it will maintain effectiveness for up to 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. For continuous sun protection, reapply every two hours, or immediately after towel drying. This tint works well as a standalone product for a 'no-makeup' makeup look, or as a hydrating base under other complexion products for added dimension.
Prepare Skin: Start with clean, dry skin. Apply your regular skincare routine, allowing moisturizers and serums to fully absorb.
Dispense: Shake the bottle well before use. Squeeze a small amount (about a pea-sized drop for light coverage) onto the back of your hand, fingertips, or directly onto an application tool.
Apply: Using your fingertips, a makeup sponge, or a brush, gently blend the tint onto your face, starting from the center and working outwards. Ensure even distribution, particularly along the jawline and hairline.
Build Coverage: For areas needing more coverage, apply a second, thin layer by dabbing the product onto those specific spots and blending lightly.
Sun Protection: Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours, or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.
Skin Types: The non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested formula, enriched with soothing Bisabolol, makes it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. The hydrating nature is particularly beneficial for normal to dry skin.
Shade Match: This specific variant is "8 Medium Neutral." To find your best match, consider your skin's undertone (neutral in this case) and intensity. It's designed to be flexible and blendable.
Storage: Store the skin tint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its efficacy and texture.
Hygiene: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent drying out and contamination.
Shake Well: Always shake the bottle thoroughly before each application to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed, especially the mineral SPF components.
