Does this make your face white-ish when you put it on like some sunblocks, or is it actually clear after application?

I have a deep tan complexion, and it does start off white-ish, but it is fine after it dries. I wear this with and without makeup.

IT DOES TURN YOUR FACE WHITE. The people who are saying it doesn't are clearly not applying enough sunscreen. You need at least 1/4 TSP to cover your entire face. It's not white if you don't apply enough, and if you don't apply enough then the SPF turns into the square root of what it originally is. So SPF 25 becomes SPF 5 if you don't apply enough.

the product is white in color but once applied to face it dries pretty quickly and doesn't leave a white film/residue like others does. I used my BB cream on top of it and it blends well and doesn't make my face greasy or oily.

This sunblock does NOT color your face in any way. Actually, I intend to amend my review to say that it is fine to use on your face as long as you don't put try to put makeup on top of it. When I applied my Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 [which is just a regular foundation, as its title says] the suncreen - it's hard to explain - but it coagulated into little spools & as I spread the foundation, it actually was wiping off the sunscreen. Now I use it on my neck, decollete, & arms.

It is clear after it dries. I wear make-up over it usually, but not always and it's fine.

Clear. Don't cake it on. A little goes a long way. I have my 4 daughters on it now and they love it too'

Not at all! this is one of the best sunscreen I ever used. At first it will leave a fade white film on your skin but it will disappear almost immediately, I do apply this little by little pea size portions over different areas of my face and neck until I cover the entire area. I use a light moisturizer before to apply this product because my skin is very dry but if your face is oily I will recommend you to use it by itself to try it first without moisturizer :) good luck!

I know it works as sun protection because I made sun block with it but I don't think it would do well as a finishing powder because it isn't light like a bare minerals product and it would make your face white. It makes your skin white when used as a sun block. I hope that helps.

hi, it can leave a little bit of a white residue. usually sinks in and goes away. I do mix it with a dab of foundation/bronzer when applying to my face. I believe all physical sunblocks will leave a little white. It is not sticky and can leave my skin a little dry. I have super sensitive skin and chemical sunblocks are not an option for me. Ive tried everything and this is the only one I like.

Sun Shield Broad Spectrum is very thick. I only use it on my face. It must be blended well, or you may see white spots. Excellent protection from the sun. I use Neutrogena sun screen for my body.

I used a thin layer on my face, and it blended in without leaving any white film. If you slather it on, it probably would look white and pasty. A thin layer was sufficient for me.

No. During application process, right after putting it on I washed the dishes and a couple drops of water got on my arms so I had noticeable weird spots. After application it obviously fades everytime u expose your tanned parts with water.

I mixed mine into a homemade sunscreen bar and it is great. I do not have any problems using it on my face and it leaves no white residue on my skin.

No, it's a thicker crme that has a white sheen to it. I normally wait 10 to 15 minutes after applying to use make-up. A light powder works best over the sunscreen.

It does if you put it on thick. If you put it on thinly you can't see the whiteness.

I don't know that it is a difference because it is new. I find it may have a "white" cast during application; however, when it goes on, it quickly transitions to my skin tone. It reminds me of sun screen which may go on white, but quickly disappears. Maybe it is the SPF????

Once it dries, it starts tightening up on your face. But its never a true all-green layer over your face like the photo makes it out to be. It looks like dried light green lotion over your face. But it does get pretty tight after letting it dry out (takes at least 20 minutes) I just bought it so I'm barely trying it out. From what I can tell it definitely feels refreshing.

It goes on clear. You have to rub it in and will be clear. I love it it protects you from the sun.

it looks like a light beige color, but I believe it has a whitening agent in it so your face will probably look really white. I've read from other beauty bloggers who have tried this, and they don't even recommend this for people with fair skin.

I am pretty fair skinned, but on me it disappeared when I rubbed it in. It's not like zinc oxide ointment which makes you look like you painted your white.

I did use it on my face. It didn't seem greasy, but since it's white you do have to spend a few minutes to make sure it's rubbed in good.

I'm not going to say no because it will initially have a white cast, but not like using, say, zinc oxide. Rub it in very well and it will soak in after a bit. Hands down best sunscreen I've found. Wish I'd known about it sooner.
