Will a skin tint with SPF of 50 be heavier or thicker than a skin tint with say 20 SPF? I wanted to buy this skin tint but seeing the SPF value is making me reconsider. Thanks

I never hear of this brand.  Does a heavier SPF always mean that the product will be heavier?? I'm not knowledgeable on this sort of thing.  Hope you get an answer and I am curious as well.

Very interesting question. I never thought about this before so I started reading. It seems that the higher the spf the thicker the product. That being said almost every review I read about this skin tint said it felt like a second skin. I think I am going to order one of their blushes.

I tried on the Ciele today while in Sephora and it is not heavy at all.  It really feels like your skin.  I can touch my face & it feels like nothing at all, but it does provide good coverage.  The more I talk about this, the more I wish I would have bought it. I'm definitely going back to get it when I'm out & about.

I ordered it earlier today. I've been wanting to try this skin tint for months. I went with the color light.

@monicakm Let me know how you like it.  I plan to go to Sephora next weekend to buy it. I've been wanting it for months as well.  Hopefully. We both love it!

@monicakm - I don't think the consistency makes a difference. I will tell you my dermatologist says any SPF higher than 30 is not necessary. I am comfortable using 30 in any sunscreen.  Smiley Happy

I don't look for spf in my foundation and don't wear a dedicated spf so when I saw that this foundation had a spf of 50, it made me wonder how sheer and light it could be.  Thanks for letting me know.
