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.

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

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!

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..

Thank God!, this was a great watch. It’s hard finding good mineral sunscreen for darkskin. P.S I love Julian 🙌🏾

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!

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!!!

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

Aunty Susan has always been inclusive! Thank you for looking out for darker pigments. ❤️. We see you Julian bro.

Hey, what happened to the series with Terell?

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!

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.

it is truly so pleasing seeing the tatcha sunscreen without flakes of the packaging peeled off.. :')

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.

I can’t begin to express how much I appreciate you knowing to include a dark skinned persons perspective. The bar. Subscribed.

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.

yess!! i was looking for tinted spf for my dark skin this whole week and you guys came in clutch!!

I clicked like. Love this. This video is so informative. The elta md and tatcha Are great especially for acne prone skin.

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.

Great video on sunscreen! I also looove your makeup look here, Susan! Your eyeshadow is so pretty. 💖

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

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!

Loved this video and collab! Refreshing!

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.

Jeeezus the anaya one is incredible!!

I absolutely LOVE the Tatcha sunscreen referenced in this video.

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!

This was such a satisfying video to watch, even though I don't have dark skin!

Yesss I love Julian!

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

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!

You forgot about Avene. It's also a good spf50 mineral sunscreen

The sunscreen from Anaya Aesthetics really is a great formula; NO WHITE CAST as Julian said!!! Than you so much for the awesome recco!!

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

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 loved this! Please please please keep videos like this coming!!!

I’ve always made sure my day moisturizer, foundation have a sunscreen. Saves a step.

Loved this collab!

Is the last sunscreen the one with no white cast nano or non nano?

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!

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!

Great video! I’ve been looking for a sunscreen that would work for my skin tone! Chemical next?

The DR.V Sunscreen is amazing. Darker skins would love.

Has Julian tried Blackgirl Sunscreen???

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 :(

Kinship has amazing mineral sunscreens and I also love the tinted one from Vichy!

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 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’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.

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?

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!!

Please review these mineral sunscreens: Undefined R&R Sun Serum, DRMTLGY physical sunscreen, Olay minneral

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.

So, which one is the best to use under make up?

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.

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 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.

Which one is good for combination skin ? ☺️

What drugstore sunscreen 🧴 do you recommend for oily skin

Hey Susan i think the new summer fridays sunscreen is only spf 30 but im curious your thoughts!!

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.

Would you suggest the elta md stick only for reapplication? Or would it be good for both reapplication and regular application?

Thanks for offering another prospective.

Hi dear Susan Yara I've been doing youon FB for years and about over a month on KZfaq....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...

Omg Susan please try Undefined Beauty R&R sun serum mineral sunscreen, got it at target.

Yes! 🎉 Thank you!

Would love to see ur opinion on the new shade of the cotz sunscreen

Have you guys tried Beauty of Joseon SPF? I'm really curious about your opinions.

all sold out of the clear perfection 🙃

Can you please do a drug store or budget sunscreen! Thank you! ☀️

Your friend said the one he likes the best has no white cast I can see the white cast in his face

What's your favorite moisturizer with SPF to use under foundations?

Have you tried naked Sundays? Love their stuff! Would love to know what you think 😊 ps they have a new clear serum spf 50 !

Unfortunately the Anaya sunscreen still sold out.

I’m surprised you have never reviewed Colorscience! Great mineral sunscreens for many different skin tones. I love the Ilia serum, btw.

Do you think it's help if Julian applied the sunscreen differently? One finger length at a time maybe

Are we going to have a SPF from Naturium?

Any suggestions to what sunscreen I can use for dry acne prone skin?

Has anyone tried the drmtlgy 46 spf? Thoughts?

I loved this thank you 😊

I like Elta MD Clear untinted.

Summer Friday’s spf I love

You'll thank me when you try it if you like a dewy look no stickiness at all

Have you tried the hero green tint sunscreen?

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.

bioasence one make my eyes really uncomfortable. I love summer fridays one and bliss :)

What lip products did u use here Susan

Yes, thank you!!

😍😍😍 Julian

I find shiesedo's spf50 is the best it costs in € 31 for 50 ml

I like it . Thank you

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.

❤👏

NOW WHAT YOUR READY FOR FRYING, LOLOLOLOLOL
